In Stock: 12
Now, there's a new way for readers to discuss their passions, with the release of a new game, The Art of Conversation: Literary Edition.
Following the success of their original games, creators Louise Howland and Keith Lamb have adapted the concept to offer new angles and avenues to think, and talk, about books. This game comes with 300 starter questions plus a 32-page guidebook that includes informative and comprehensive endnotes. It has been carefully developed and researched by the creators, with the assistance of well-respected literature teacher Leila Bryant - and there's plenty of scope to come up with your own questions.
Like all TAOC editions, it's not a quiz - it's not about who knows the most.
It's a communication tool that draws on your own experiences, thoughts and reactions to facilitate fascinating discussions.

Travelers' tales have always been popular - people have been sharing their experiences of different places and faces for about as long as we've been communicating!

This new TAOC title turns our passion for travel - and talking about it - into a new form of entertainment and education.

Paperback
Author: John Lloyd & John Mitchinson

This is the indispensable compendium of popular misconceptions, misunderstandings and common mistakes culled from the hit BBC show, "QI".

If, like Alan Davies, you still think the Henry VIII had six wives, the earth has only one moon, that George Washington was the first president of the USA, that Bangkok is the capital of Thailand, that the largest living thing is a blue whale, that Alexander Graeme Bell invented the telephone, that whisky and bagpipes come from Scotland or that Mount Everest is the world's tallest mountain, then there are at least 200 reasons why this is the book for you.

Paperback
Author: Laura Stoddart

In her long-awaited third book, Laura Stoddart turns her attention to the theme of romantic love. Her book of brief quotations, with her own distinctive illustrations, includes sections on the pursuit of love, love and marriage, and the love affair, as well as reflections on the nature of love. Wodehouse chumps chase unsuitable girls, Dorothy Parker makes acidic comments about men, Byron complains that there's nothing to write about in a happy marriage, and scores of other writers from ancient Greece to the present day supply nuggets of wisdom and humour, and delight in the strange antics of humans in the grip of love. For every sweet sentiment Laura Stoddart has found a robust antidote, and in deliciously delicate drawings she casts a sharp eye on the follies of love. The many fans of this remarkable artist will be entranced again by her tiny, exquisite pictures and by the originality of her vision.

Accompanying Fulvio's images is a delightful culinary text by New Zealand's 'queen of food', writer Peta Mathias, ensuring that each item is worn with delectable style. May you never go hungry, or naked, again...
