In this beautiful book, master repairer, Molly Martin, champions the value of slow and sustainable fashion and the psychological benefits that go with it For Molly Martin, it all started with a pair of socks. Her favorite pair. When the heels became threadbare, her mother got out her darning mushroom and showed her how to reinforce the thinning stitches and bring them back to life. She has been stitching and darning ever since. In The Art of Repair, Molly explores the humble origins of repair and how the act of mending a cherished item carefully by hand offers not just a practical solution but nourishment for the soul. Using her own beautiful illustrations, she guides us through the basics of the craft - from piecing and patching to the ancient Japanese art of Sashiko. This book will stay with you long after you put down your needle and thread.

J. P. Flintoff

Simone Kuper

Many people dread public speaking. And yet we all find ourselves forced to make a speech at some point in our lives, and suffer the same inevitable anxieties: Will my jokes fall flat? What if I freeze up? Is it OK to read notes? What if people walk out? This book will not magically transform you into a fast-talking, high-flying hotshot. But it does hope to teach you how to be adequate at public speaking - and, with a spot of luck, you might turn out to be 'rather good'. Using Cicero's five canons of rhetoric (invention, arrangement, style, memory and delivery) and drawing upon his own highly entertaining tales of success and failure from the speech-giving circuit, Flintoff will arm you with a handful of simple structural techniques that will enable you to stand up, if not with delight, then at least with confidence, in front of any crowd - whether it's a serious work event or a best friend's wedding. As humble as it is motivating, this is a guide to finding your voice, even if it's a bit croaky at first, and a reassuring affirmation that we all have something to say.

A Modest Book about How to Make an Adequate Speech

"My life is a constant battle between vanity and laziness. This book has brokered the perfect peace deal!" - Graham Norton Should I tint my eyebrows? How can I get a squarer jawline? Which style of trouser would make my legs look longer? Leading lifestyle columnist and magazine editor, Jeremy Langmead, has men constantly asking him for answers to these questions and more. In Vain Glorious he teams up with Harley Street aesthetic doctor David Jack to lift the lid on all the anti-ageing and beauty secrets now available for men, from Botox to hair thickening treatments. Dr Jack provides the medical expertise, whilst Jeremy test-drives the procedures and products on offer sharing often hilarious snapshots of his own hit-and-miss journey of rejuvenation. Langmead also shares sartorial tricks and insider tips from his time editing Esquire and running mrporter.com. Sometimes all it takes is a tweak here and there to get maximum results with minimum effort. This is a witty, informative walk through the trends and insecurities that shape how men dress, look and see themselves - peppered with honest and practical advice for all those who have woken up to the fact that taking care of themselves is no longer taboo. Vain Glorious is a guide to help men feel comfortable in their own skin.
