The Architecture of John Russell Pope Selected Works: Houses John Russell Pope. Text by Royal Cortissoz John Russell Pope is one of America’s most famous architects, responsible for many major works, including the Jefferson Memorial, the House of the Temple and the West Building of the National Gallery of Art. This book, The Architecture of John Russell Pope, Selected Works: Houses, is the first volume of a two-part monograph, to be followed by a volume on public buildings. Made in association with the ICAA, this is a lavishly illustrated study of Pope’s extraordinary house designs, often inspired by classical European architecture, standing proudly among his achievements as the crown jewels in many of the USA’s most vaunted ZIP codes. Houses include: the residence of Ogden Mills, Woodbury, Long Island; Moses and Edith Taylor’s Glen Manor House, Portsmouth, Rhode Island; Charlcote House, built for James Swan Frick in the suburbs of Baltimore; the now lost Oak Hill mansion, Jericho, Long Island; and Brodhead-Bell-Morton Mansion (aka Morton House) in the exclusive Logan Circle area of Washington DC.

The highly anticipated first volume of an essential, two-part monograph, covering the buildings designed by John Russell Pope, one of America’s most famous architects.

Monet Beyond the Horizon Marianne Mathieu With exhibitions around the world and extensive media attention, the centenary of Monet’s passing in 2026 will be celebrated with due fanfare; and this luxurious book is a fitting and timely accompaniment, covering all of Monet’s key works in a beautifully presented, large-format monograph. Claude Monet, who remains one of the world’s best-known and beloved artists, spent 70 of his 86 years with paintbrush in hand, drawing strength from constant renewal and reinvention. He embodied the beginnings of Impressionism, then defined it. Few artists have enjoyed such longevity or demonstrated such inventiveness. Monet: Beyond the Horizon traces this career, drawing on a rich iconography that includes the ‘must haves’ as well as lesser-known and sometimes surprising works. Author Marianne Mathieu allows us to (re)discover the painter and the man in his simplicity and his daily routine. She immerses the reader in the light and the colour that characterised and shaped Monet’s work.

A sumptuous, large-format monograph in the centenary year of the artist’s death, one of the key figures of modern art.

Aston Martin Bulldog The World’s First Hypercar? Simon de Burton The Aston Martin Bulldog is a car that should never have existed. It was conceived as a concept car in the late 1970s with the hope that it would go into production as the first road car capable of breaking the 200-mph barrier. They missed that speed due to lack of space and the car never entered production. Instead, the sole prototype spent the next 40 years bouncing from one owner to another, gradually deteriorating in condition. That is, until 2019. Hundreds of never-seen-before photographs from the Aston Martin Archive, as well as new photography by experienced car photographer Amy Shore, chronicle the lifecycle of this incredible car.

For the first time, dive into the legendary story of one of the great one-offs in automotive history, replete with original and archival photographs.

Wonderment Sherry L. Ross Wonderment is a beautiful anthology of seasonal poetry, written and illustrated by Sherry L. Ross. Exploring the countryside with an acute understanding of Mother Nature’s magic and inspired by centuries of woodland and pastoral folklore, Ross’s words and images capture a genuine sense of awe, as light and dark come and go and each season in turn bends the landscape to its will. Having previously authored the charming children’s book Return of the Vinetropes, Ross is well placed to convey the innocent wonders of the natural world in this imaginative and visually stunning collection. Perfect for fans of all things wild and wonderful.

‘The ache of spring is undeniable. It hurts before it sings.’ Out in the American fields, skunk cabbages sprout like hooded baby goblins; arrow-like herons emerge with fish in their beaks; and fireflies return to the deep shadows of a summer night.

The Story of the America’s Cup 1851-2024 Ranulf Rayner, Tim Thompson The America’s Cup has been the world’s most prestigious yacht race for over 170 years. This beautifully illustrated and fully updated new edition tells the story of the cup from its inception through to the most recent race, held in 2024. Named in 1851 in honour of the first winner (New York pilot, ‘America’), the Cup was dominated by American yachts for well over a century. At last, in 1983, Australia II wrestled the trophy away from the USA, albeit briefly. At Barcelona in 2024, the Cup produced one of the best contests yet, with the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron winning the race for a fifth time, and a British yacht, Britannia, competing in the finals for the first time in 60 years. With a painting of each race since 1851, by marine artist Tim Thompson, and detailed descriptions of the boats involved, The Story of the America’s Cup 1851-2024 is an elegant, insightful celebration of a storied contest.

The story of the world’s most prestigious yacht race, beautifully illustrated with original paintings and fully updated to include the most recent contest.
