‘My favourite restaurant in the world... Do not make the mistake of dying before you have eaten here.’ - Giles Coren
The Quality Chop House has stood proudly on the corner of Farringdon Road and Exmouth Market since 1876.

The Quality Chop House aims to offer modern, innovative cooking based around the finest ingredients the British Isles provide. They focus just as much on their wine list as their menu – aiming to provide a range of new and interesting bottles from the New World as well as a few esoteric single bottles from dusty, old cellars. • Perfect Christmas gift for foodies everywhere • The Quality Chop House is one of the best-loved, best-known restaurants in London: same sort of cult appeal as The Sportsman (9k TCM) • The book will have a foreword by a famous fan of the restaurant (likely Jamie Oliver, Marina O’Loughlin)

Or, in Norway, ‘Å være født bak en brunost’: ‘To be born behind a brown cheese’ (to be a bit slow on the uptake). In Denmark you might say: ‘Han har roterende fis i kasketten’ (‘He’s got rotating crap in his cap’). This witty, enlightening book showcases over 50 crazy Scandi phrases, with gorgeous colour illustrations throughout. • Humour book that capitalises on the vogue for all things Scandinavian • Similar title Lost in Translation (with sayings from all over the world) sold over 50k in the US and UK combined • Perfect Christmas gift appeal with cute package and illustrations

The internet. A place of extreme highs, extreme lows and extreme everything-in-betweens The internet has changed us all, creating a new layer of perfectionist pressure in every aspect of our lives, but equally enabling us to share resources, opinions and information more quickly than ever before. Are we supposed to love it, or leave it? Mixed Feelings explores what the internet might be doing to our minds, bodies and hearts, through essays and discussions. A bible for those who refuse to fit into any box, a celebration of difference and a challenge to the status quo – a bulwark against the onslaught of images of perfectionism and aspiration we are bombarded with on a daily basis. Naomi Shimada is a model, campaigner and influencer. She was the ‘curve’ columnist for InStyle, she has been featured in Elle and Vogue, starred in campaigns for Nike and Monki. Sarah Raphael is Editor at Large of Refinery29, the leading global digital media company for women.

draft cover
Dr Mark Spencer reveals the secrets of life as a forensic botanist Dr Mark Spencer is a forensic botanist – in other words, he helps police with cases where plants can unlock clues to solve crimes, from murder and rape to arson and burglary. Murder Most Florid is an enthralling, first-person account that follows Mark’s unconventional and unique career, one that takes him to woodlands, wasteland and roadsides, as well as police labs, to examine the botanical evidence of serious crimes. More widely, this gripping book challenges our attitude to death and response to crime. Most importantly, it shows us how the ancient lessons of botanical science can still be front and centre in our modern, DNA-obsessed world. Dr. Mark Spencer studied botany at University of Reading, followed by a PhD on the evolution of aquatic fungi. He worked for the London Wildlife Trust, London’s Natural History Museum and, subsequently after receiving an out-of-the-blue phone call from the police, he embarked on a career as a forensic botanist. Dr Spencer regularly appears on TV. • Feeds growing interest in the ‘behind the scenes’ of jobs the public don’t have access to • Unique fusion of biography, true crime and botanical science • Bringing together the perennially popular crime drama with the renewed interest in botanicals and the natural world
