<p>When Karl Lagerfeld was named at the helm of the fashion house in 1983, he set out to radically shake up and update its image - not only through bold collections but also, from 1987 onwards, by choosing to shoot the house's campaigns himself, a move that was unprecedented for a fashion designer.</p><p>Conceived in collaboration with Karl Lagerfeld and the House of Chanel, this definitive publication opens with an essay by Patrick Mauriès before exploring the campaigns themselves, organized chronologically. A carefully curated selection of images showcases hundreds of spectacular clothes worn by the top fashion models - and personalities - of each era, from Inès de la Fressange, Claudia Schiffer, Kate Moss and Cara Delevingne, to Kirsten Stewart and Lily Rose Depp, captured in glamorous locations, from Coco Chanel's Paris apartment to the French Riviera or LA. </p><p>Presented in a high-end, slipcased package, Chanel: the Karl Lagerfeld Campaigns offers an unrivalled overview of the house of Chanel as seen through the eyes - and lens - of Karl Lagerfeld himself.</p>

<p> Since The Hobbit was first published in 1937, generations of readers have fallen under its spell. That magic was reignited sixty years later, when Alan Lee was commissioned to produce a special illustrated edition, and his delicate pencil drawings and beautiful watercolour paintings have become for many the definitive vision of J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth.</p><p>In this sumptuous, large-format hardback Alan Lee reveals in pictures and in words how he created these images, which would prove so powerful, matching perfectly with Tolkien's own vision, that they would eventually define the look of Peter Jackson's film adaptations and earn Alan a coveted Academy Award.</p><p>The Hobbit Sketchbook is filled with more than 100 of his sketches and early conceptual pieces that reveal how the project progressed from idea to finished art. It also contains a wealth of brand-new full-colour paintings and sketches drawn specially for this book, which unlock the secrets of how Alan creates his own magic and provide a fascinating insight into the imagination of the man who breathed new life into Tolkien's vision. </p>

Sasanian Silver Coins is a reference book for collectors of Sasanian coins. The main obverse types of the silver coinage are described and the coinage in other metals is outlined. This book fills a gap, as other references available today are either far too detalied and expensive, or outdated. Tables with mint names and regnal years written in Pahlavi script makes it possible for the collector to correctly identify a coin. A summary of the history, religion and language of the Sasanian Empire is also given.

Silver Coins of the Muslim Caliphate, Volume I, The Umayyad Dynasty is the first book in a series of at least two books. It is a direct continuation of the book Sasanian Silver Coins (ISBN 978-91-982341-0-7). The time frame for the content of the book is CE 652 to CE 751, so just under 100 years. Both the Arab-Sasanian and the Post-Reform silver coins are covered. An attempt is made to list all combinations of mint and year for this period. Identification tools are provided for reading mint, year of manufacture and any name that may appear on the coin. Arab-Sasanian coins mostly use the Middle-Persian language using the Pahlavi script, while the Post-Reform coins use Arabic. Conversion tables for years of different eras, such as Muslim Era, Yazdgerd Era and Post-Yazdgerd Era to the Common Era are also given. Yngve Karlsson is a private researcher living in Göteborg, Sweden. He is a member of the Oriental Numismatic Society and the Göteborg Numismatic Society. After the release of his first book Sasanian Silver Coins, he has given lectures on Sasanian numismatics in Italy, Belgium, Germany, China and The Netherlands. For many years he has helped metal detectorists, museums and universities with the identification of Sasanian and early Islamic coins. Such coins are found in large numbers every year in the Nordic countries using metal detectors.
