Mug Hugs!

Those lovely ladies over at Whipup.net have done it again, and once again featured one of our books in their latest newsletter.

Mug Hugs by Alison Howard
RRP: $24.99, Paperback
ISBN: 9781861086907

Mug Hugs by Alison Howard from the Guild of Master Craftsman is the latest in the Cozy series, a series which has proven very popular here in Australia. 

Here's just a taste of what Whipup.net had to say about Mug Hugs...

This book is really delightful. The patterns and instructions would be perfect for a beginner knitter’s first project, but also great for an experienced knitter, who would like a quick project that can be finished in one sitting.....
.....The instructions are clear and comprehensive, and the techniques section at the end of the book is well illustrated and takes into account the difference in mug size and yarns. In addition to being a pattern book, it is a bit like a stitch library, with each of the patterns using a different stitch, method of construction, or way of working with colour.
You should definitely pop over to Whipup.net and read the full review as this will make a great book to pop on those Christmas wish-lists, plus, you'll find some really cool stuff over there. 

Whipup.net is one of my favourite blogs, and if you're into crafts and you've not visited their blog yet then I highly recommend you do!

Are You A Horror Movie Freak?

If you answered 'yes' to that question then you may want to pull out those wish lists and write this down -
Horror Movie Freak by Don Sumner, ISBN: 9781440208249

RRP: $24.99, Includes Bonus DVD
Paperback, 256 pages, ISBN: 9781440208249
Published by KP Books

Due to arrive in Australia this month, and only $24.99, Horror Movie Freak will be here in time for Halloween and, for those who are more organised than I am and starting their Christmas shopping early, it will make a great Chrissy pressie for any horror movie buff.

This is a great book, which not only looks at some of the best and genre-defining horror movies that have been made, but it also looks at things like why we love horror movies, what makes a good horror movie and most important of all, the rules to surviving a horror movie (a la Wes Craven's Scream, with a few additions for good measure!).

So if you or someone you know loves horror movies then this is the perfect book for them. Not only do you get information on all of the best horror movies ever made, you also get a DVD copy of the original 1968 version of George Romero's classic Night of the Living Dead.

When the King of zombie movies, George Romero, declares this "an excellent guide for horror freaks" then you know it must be good!

Revered Wisdom - The New Series from Sterling Publishing

Capricorn Link and Sterling Publishing are proud to present a new series of books called Revered Wisdom.

The first four books offer an introduction to different religions and groups, covering Christianity, Buddhism, Judaism and Freemasonry.

Revered Wisdom: Christianity

RRP: $14.99, Paperback, 336 pages, ISBN: 9781402770418

Offers an abridged edition of William Paley's seminal work A View of the Evidence of Christianity. A classic in the world of theological debate, the book argues, in lucid prose, the genuine nature of the intellectual credentials of Christianity. Although today William Paley is a controversial figure, as many of his assertions laid the foundation for the Intelligent Design movement, there is no doubt of the influence and importance of his work.

Revered Wisdom: Buddhism

RRP: $14.99, Paperback, 336 pages, ISBN: 9781402770432

This is the perfect introduction to Buddhism, an expertly abridged edition of Sir Charles Eliot's three-volume work Hinduism and Buddhism: An Historical Sketch. The Buddha teaches that eternal happiness can be obtained by anyone at any time. Sir Eliot begins with the life of Buddha, then explains the important teachings within the Buddhist cannon and ends with meditation techniques for embarking on a path to spiritual discovery and reaching nirvana.
Revered Wisdom: Judaism

RRP: $14.99, Paperback, 336 pages, ISBN: 9781402770425

Often called the religion of reason, Judaism is abundant with beautiful traditions, ancient customs and scholarly Biblical interpretation. Revered Wisdom: Judaism is the perfect introduction to the period that in many ways was the most complex and confusing in Israel's history. The centuries following the Fall of Jerusalem to the death of Herod the Great constitute a reflective and retrospective age, whose writings and teachings reveal the soul of the Jewish faith.

Revered Wisdom: Freemasonry

RRP: $14.99, Paperback, 336 pages, ISBN: 9781402770401

Freemasonry is the world's oldest and largest fraternity and it remains shrouded in mystery, even though much has been written on its complex symbols and principles over the past three hundred years. This Revered Wisdom volume offers an abridged edition of Albert G. Mackey's classic work The Symbolism of Freemasonry. In it, Mackey, a Mason himself, explains the fascinating philosophy and science behind the legends and symbols of this secretive sect.

All titles are available to order from your local bookstore. Stock expected to arrive in the warehouse any day now.
