Brian Redman is one of very few notable British racing drivers whose racing life has yet to be put on record in book form. Now that is about to be rectified. Packed with photographs, Redman's memoir is a vivid account of his varied racing exploits, with special focus on the period 1968-73 when he won major sports car races in Ford GT40s, Porsche 908s and 917s, and Ferrari 312PBs. Highly readable, and at times both humorous and poignant, this is a very personal book that will be welcomed by this popular and highly respected driver's legions of fans.

The most comprehensive collection of artworks by world-renowned artist Brian Clarke to date. Designed in close collaboration with the artist himself, featuring stunning photography that captures Clarke's revolutionary approach to the medium of stained glass, with an introduction by Norman Foster and an essay by Paul Greenhalgh.
A Great Light is a striking catalogue published to accompany the exhibition of the same name, both testaments to British artist Brian Clarke’s widely regarded status as the most important artist working in stained glass today. Across his five-decades-long career, Clarke has consistently pushed the boundaries of stained glass as a medium in terms of technology and its visual potential. Focusing on large-scale works, A Great Light crystallises Clarke’s vision for stained glass as fundamentally architectural, his works the result of a dedicated respect for the buildings they inhabit and the surrounding contexts of his practice. The book offers a view of the impactful interaction between space and artwork, as over 130 beautifully reproduced images fill its pages and extend into the gatefolds. Published in association with Newport Street Gallery, A Great Light features 68 stained-glass artworks as well as installation shots of the final exhibition, prefaced by an interview between Clarke and world-renowned Swiss curator, art historian and critic Hans Ulrich Obrist, Artistic Director of Serpentine Galleries in London.

Brian Barder's Diplomatic Diary offers an insightful and entertaining glimpse of British foreign service life from ?one of the most energetic and politically committed diplomats of his generation? (The Guardian, 2017). Spanning two decades from the early 1970s, the diary takes us behind the scenes of Barder's career, from his first overseas posting in Moscow to his head-of-mission posts as ambassador to Ethiopia and Poland and high commissioner to Nigeria. We find him on the spot at moments of historical significance, whether playing cat-and-mouse with the KGB in Cold War Moscow, during the wave of tit-for-tat diplomatic expulsions that anticipated those taking place today, or being a driving force behind the realisation of British relief efforts to Ethiopia during the nation's devastating mid-1980s famine. Along the way, he rubbed shoulders with some of the most iconic political and cultural figures of the day.

Along the way, he rubbed shoulders with some of the most iconic political and cultural figures of the day, including Richard Nixon, Margaret Thatcher, and Muammar Qadhafi; Labour politicians Neil Kinnock and Tony Benn; novelist Chinua Achebe; classical musicians Benjamin Britten, Yehudi Menuhin, Witold Lutosɫawski and Dmitri Shostakovich; pop star activist Bob Geldof; media baron Robert Maxwell; double agent Kim Philby; and the Prince and Princess of Wales, among many others. An accomplished writer, Barder authored a popular blog and his 2014 book, What Diplomats Do, was warmly received. The diary is compulsively readable and accessible, seasoned throughout with Barder's astute observations, evocative descriptions, and his characteristically sardonic wit.
Illustrator, musician and self-described “comic stripper” Brian Blomerth has spent years combining classic underground art styles with his bitingly irreverent visual wit in zines, comics, and album covers. With Brian Blomerth’s Bicycle Day, the artist has produced his most ambitious work to date: a historical account of the events of April 19, 1943, when Swiss chemist Albert Hofmann ingested an experimental dose of a new compound known as lysergic acid diethylamide and embarked on the world’s first acid trip. Combining an extraordinary true story told in journalistic detail with the artist’s gritty, timelessly Technicolor comix style, Brian Blomerth’s Bicycle Day is a testament to mind expansion and a stunningly original visual history.
Brian Blomerth first fused his singularly irreverent underground comix style with heavily-researched history in 2019’s Brian Blomerth’s Bicycle Day, a Technicolor retelling of the discovery of LSD. Now, the illustrator and graphic novelist continues his wild and woolly excursions into the history of mind expansion with Mycelium Wassonii, an account of the lives and trips of R. Gordon and Valentina Wasson, the pioneering scientist couple responsible for popularizing the use of psychedelic mushrooms. A globetrotting vision of hallucinatory science and religious mysticism with appearances by Life Magazine, the CIA, and the Buddha, Mycelium Wassonii is a visual history and a love story as only Blomerth’s Isograph pen can render it.
A visual biography of the infamous ketamine researcher John C. Lilly.Since 2019, graphic novelist Brian Blomerth’s stunningly original comix histories have combined detailed research and riotous visual wit to illuminate the discovery of LSD (in Brian Blomerth’s Bicycle Day) and the popularization of psilocybin mushrooms (in Brian Blomerth’s Mycelium Wassonii). Now, in the third entry in his ongoing series, Blomerth opens a porthole on the life, experiments, and addictions of John C. Lilly—the man whose development of the isolation tank, controversial studies in dolphin cognition, and ketamine-fueled dives into the nature of consciousness made him perhaps the most notorious researcher of the psychedelic era. Featuring alien visitations, interspecies encounters, and no shortage of concerned onlookers, Brian Blomerth’s Lilly Wave sees a beloved artist working from an expanded palette of industrial ink-splatter and oceanic airbrushing to bring readers a story that’s equal parts cosmic and paranoid, transcendent and tragic.

"Dan Wright's Brian Epstein Died for You is the evolution of the artist as a young man. In it, Wright explores the drunken moonlight of St. Louis nights, his own struggle to just get by, and just exactly how it is he came to be here. This is a collection that offers no easy answers, much like life itself." -John Dorsey, Author of Your Daughter's Country "Daniel W. Wright is one thing that's rare these days - a true original. His work connects on all the right levels and you will never be let down when you see his name on a cover. Brian Epstein Died for You is a book that, from start to finish, will stay with you and is a must for any true fan of great poetry." -John Patrick Robbins, Editor-in-Chief of the Rye Whiskey Review.
