Artist Tony Both worked in Liverpool during the early 1960s, just around the corner from The Cavern Club and close to the Beatles manager Brian Epsteins office in Whitechapel. Tonys work caught Epsteins eye, and he would go on to produce posters, printed leaflets and a wide variety of publicity and display materials for Epsteins artists, most notably for a young four-piece beat combo called the Beatles. Alongside his work for Epstein, Tony produced hand-painted gig posters for many promoters, including Sam Leach, Allan Williams and The Cavern Clubs DJ Bob Wooler, who also promoted many of the big events. Tonys original posters now fetch a considerable sum of money, and The Beatles in Posters features these as well as exact replicas of those that have been lost to time. This is the first book of its type and is a must-buy for all fans of the Fab Four and the Merseybeat scene.

Virginia Vernon was responsible for the welfare of ENSA performers around the world during the Second World War. Her fluent French, a result of studying in Paris as a teenager, and her understanding of theatre after a successful career on Broadway made her an ideal candidate, so in 1939, the 46-year-old was recruited to bring morale-boosting entertainment to British troops in France. She soon discovered that "welfare" was a catch-all for many activities; much more than simply arranging accommodation for artistes and meeting performers on arrival.Battling grief after the loss of her husband, contending with male chauvinism in the Army, and travelling through the most inhospitable places, along the way Madam V won the support and admiration of royalty, the military, and the stars of stage and screen, gaining a fearsome reputation for achieving the impossible. This new study tells the story of her wartime journey, from Arras in 1939 to V.J. Day in Rangoon.

National treasure and television pioneer Anneka Rice has had an action-packed career jumping out of helicopters, racing against the clock on Challenge Anneka and inspiring millions with her boundless energy and much-loved jumpsuits. But the daring spirit on screen was forged in a very different kind of challenge.In this candid memoir, Anneka opens up for the first time about the crucible of her unusual childhood, revealing how the crippling loneliness she felt as a child and the teenage years she spent bringing up her baby sister sparked the fierce resilience that would later define her.With her trademark warmth and wit, she shares the vibrant, transformative possibilities that emerged from her arrival, aged nineteen, in Hong Kong on a one-way ticket, knowing no one, and describes the epiphanous moment in a refugee camp in Kowloon that taught her to imagine a life far beyond the one she had left behind.Full of heart, humour and hard-won wisdom, this is an astonishing story of adventure and survival, of personal battles and public triumphs. Its a manual on how to reinvent yourself, throw caution to the wind and take the path full of jeopardy. Its mad, bad and dangerous and should come with a warning: dont try this at home.

This monograph is the first comprehensive study of Italian artist Mariuccia Secol (*1929), who redefined the boundaries of feminist art through powerful textile and sculptural works. Her practice evolved from abstract painting in the 1950s and 1960s to innovative fabric assemblages, installations with everyday materials, ceramics, and collages. Thematically, her works revolve around issues such as the subordinate role of women, domestic violence, and social exclusion. Using embroidery, fabric deconstructions, and household objects, Secol created textile artworks that symbolize wounds and resilience and intensively address the political and social problems of our time. Mariuccia Secol was born in Castellanza (northern Italy) in 1929 and lives and works in Daverio near Milan. After completing her artistic training, she began exhibiting her work extensively and, in 1974, co-founded the feminist artist group Gruppo Feminist Immagine di Varese, with which she exhibited at the 1978 Venice Biennale. Today, her works are recognised worldwide and shown at important feminist art exhibitions, such as The Unexpected Subject: 1978 Art and Feminism in Italy at the FM Centre for Contemporary Art in Milan and Cooking, Cleaning, Caring: Care Work in the Arts Since 1960 at the Josef Albers Museum Quadrat in Bottrop.

It follows the principles of atelier training and is structured using the six fundamental components of form, values, edges, colour, paint handling and composition. With a strong emphasis on learning by doing, it supports the theory with demonstrations, examples and exercises, providing a complete account of this compelling medium.
