Scroogenomics: Why you shouldn't buy presents for the holidays order quantity

Author: Joel Waldfogel
Published by: Princeton University Press
In Stock: 4
Christmas is a time of seasonal cheer, family get-togethers, holiday parties, and-gift giving. Lots and lots - and lots - of gift giving. It's hard to imagine any Christmas without this time-honored custom. But let's stop to consider the gifts we receive - the rooster sweater from Grandma or the singing fish from Uncle Mike. How many of us get gifts we like? How many of us give gifts not knowing what recipients want? Did your cousin really look excited about that jumping alarm clock? Lively and informed, "Scroogenomics" illustrates how our consumer spending generates vast amounts of economic waste - to the shocking tune of eighty-five billion dollars each winter. Economist Joel Waldfogel provides solid explanations to show us why it's time to stop the madness and think twice before buying gifts for the holidays. When we buy for ourselves, every dollar we spend produces at least a dollar in satisfaction, because we shop carefully and ... more

Quentin Blake's drawings have been entertaining children and their parents for as long as any of us can remember, but this is the first time he has illustrated a book specifically for his own generation.

Cats in Books: A Celebration of Cat Illustration Through the Ages order quantity

NZ$ 25.00 each
Paperback
Author: Rodney Dale
Published by: British Library Publishing Division
In Stock: 3
In this lavishly illustrated volume, Rodney Dale presents some of the finest renderings of cats as they have appeared in books over the centuries. Some, like Sir John Tenniel's classic Cheshire Cat or Lewis Caroll's Alice's Adventures Under Ground, are well known; others, such as the cats shown in the margins of the Lindisfarne Gospels and Luttrell Psalter, may be new to many readers. From Ancient Egypt onward, cat illustrators have endeavoured to capture the character of this notoriously elusive animal. Among those whose work is reproduced in Cats in Books are Leonardo da Vinci, Albrecht Durer, Arthur Rackham, and Aubrey Beardsley. Here, too, are images from Edward Gorey's playfull version of T.S. Elliot's Old Possum Book of Practical Cats and Kathleen Hale's Orlando. Feline fanciers and bibliophiles alike will delight in the cats depicted in this distinctive volume.

DoP October 2009, Auckland
170x140mm / 112pp
Paperback w. flaps

Earth worship has replaced Christianity as the new religion in many Western countries. People now worry about their carbon footprint in the same way previous generations worried about their immortal souls. And like anything else that encourages people to become too earnest, the eco movement has set itself up as a prime target for lampoonery, hence this book! How to Save the World ...is a fierce and funny satire on green worriers. 'Agony aunt' letters from concerned citizens of the environment pitch a host of bizarre and deliciously cheeky questions about how they might become more environmentally friendly. Resident eco-warrior 'Dr Green' offers suitably non-PC replies that use real-life examples of eco-daftness. A typical question: 'My partner has IBS and farts a lot. Is he contributing to global warming and how can he reduce his emissions?'

A collection of simple fingerprint cartoons with short, sharp captions that will have you in stitches! Crushed to discover at the tender age of seven that he didn't have an aptitude for drawing, Peter Vegas decided to pour his heart and soul into perfecting the art of the humble stick figure.

Now bored with the stick figure, Peter has moved on to a slightly healthier body shape: the fingerprint-man - which has provided endless fuel for Peter's unique brand of humour. Printmen is a little bit of quirky fun that is guaranteed to rouse laughs galore. Featuring just short of 100 clever drawings with ingenious pithy captions.
