An artfully designed compendium of 200 antiquarian photographs, all published here for the first time―including daguerrotypes, ambrotypes, tintypes, cartes de visite, and sepia and black-and-white images―culled from the private collection of longtime antiques collector, dealer, and appraiser Anthony Cavo, accompanied by an entertaining mix of historical anecdotes, true stories, excerpts from literature, letters, quotes, and fun facts.“Until one has loved an animal, a part of one’s soul remains unawakened.”―Anatole FranceDogs have been beloved companions since the dawn of humankind. With the advent of photography in the nineteenth century, this love was immortalized for the first time on film. While the clothing and the hairstyles of yesteryear may be very different―and intriguing to the modern eye―in these photos, the evident love between pet and owner is unmistakable, and remains as poignant today as when these images were taken. An avid collector of nineteenth- and early twentieth-ce

Foreword by Neil GaimanThe world’s leading Arthurian authority reimagines one of the most beloved and influential legends―the story of King Arthur and his Knights―for a new century in this gorgeous keepsake edition, illustrated with luminous full-color paintings and drawings by internationally acclaimed Tolkien artist John Howe.The stories of King Arthur and Merlin, Lancelot and Guinevere, Galahad, Gawain, Tristan and the rest of the Knights of the Roundtable, and the search for the Holy Grail have been beloved for centuries and are the inspiration of many modern fantasy novels, films, and shows. These legends began when an obscure Celtic hero named Arthur stepped on to the stage of history sometime in the sixth century, generating a host of oral tales that would be inscribed some 900 years later by Thomas Malory in his classic Morte D’Arthur (The Death of Arthur).The Great Book of King Arthur brings these legends into the modern age, using accessible prose for contemporary readers for

These symbols, as Michael Arndt proves in this beautiful and endlessly fascinating book, are absolutely indispensable to communication: punctuation turns words into sentences and language into meaning... From commas to semicolons, from slashes to asterisks, from guillemets to octothorpes (named, perhaps, after athlete Jim Thorpe), you'll never look at punctuation the same way again.--Michael Bierut, partner, PentagramIn this show-stopping guide with more than 75 uniquely designed two-color spreads--a rollicking linguistic ride for fans of Eats, Shoots & Leaves and Just My Type--award-winning graphic designer Michael Arndt explores the typographic origins, names, and shapes of both common punctuation marks and symbols, as well as the proper and diverse usage of each.From the
