SUMMARY:Barry Clark: The Northern Art Workers’ Guild and the Arts & Crafts Movement  in Manchester
DESCRIPTION:Manchester was a hidden gem in the Arts and Crafts movement. This beautiful book tells the history of a northern craft revival that was neither rural\, nor London-focused\, but an essential component of the Arts and Crafts movement in the heart of industrial England. William Morris was a frequent visitor to the city\, and Manchester had the only Morris & Co shop outside London. Author Barry Clark shares this little-known\, but fascinating story.

SUMMARY:Daniel Gray: Sunday Best
DESCRIPTION:Closed shops and roast dinners\, bulky papers and the hum of lawnmowers\, strolls to nowhere in particular and visiting snoozing grandparents. Through an assortment of rituals and activities\,  Sundays came to be the unique day in our week – tedious\, pleasant or somewhere in-between. But how did they change? Has anything interesting ever happened on a Sunday? In our rushed modern lives\, should we try to recapture that unhurried Sunday feel? Daniel’s book is a charming journey in time and place\, offering nostalgia\, people’s history and affectionate\, absorbing writing.
