Dressed up like a million-dollar trouper, Tryin’ hard to look like Gary Cooper, Super duper – ‘Puttin’ on the Ritz,’ Irving Berlin (revised lyrics, 1946). 1940s heartthrob Gary Cooper never goes out of style (just ask your mother or your grandmother). He’s got that straightforward, honest, effortless handsomeness. No matter the costume he donned, he owned it. The camera loved him, and so did the box office. This collection of images, taken from his personal scrapbook, proves that the Gary Cooper we knew and loved on the silver screen was as much a style icon off the red carpet as he was on. He perfected his own debonair style by combining a perfectly tailored European wardrobe with all-American casual sportswear to produce the first – and still finest – example of elegant, international, masculine style of the ‘American Everyman’ ideal. From the most laid-back activewear to the most ceremonious of coat and tails, Cooper carried himself

A history of Britain told through the stories of twenty-five notable structures, from the Iron Age fortification of Maiden Castle in Dorset to the Gherkin. ‘Building Britannia’ is a chronicle of social, political and economic change seen through the prism of the country’s built environment, but also a sequence of closely observed studies of a series of intrinsically remarkable structures: some of them beautiful or otherwise imposing; some of them more coldly functional; all of them with richly fascinating stories to tell. Steven Parissien tells both a national story, tracing how a growing sense of British nationhood was expressed through the country’s architecture, and also examines how these structures were used by later generations to signpost, mythologise or remake British history.

Twenty years ago, Benjamin Moser followed a love affair to an ancient Dutch town. In order to make sense of the place where he had ended up, Moser threw himself into the world of the painters of Dutch Golden Age, Rembrandt, Hals, and Vermeer among them, and found himself confronting the bigger questions those artists asked. Why do we make art, and why do we need it? Who, and what, is an artist? How can art help us see ourselves and others? And in a world without religion, can art provide a substitute for God? As he explored the Dutch museums, Moser met a crowd of fascinating personalities: the stormy Rembrandt, the intimate Ter Borch, the mysterious Vermeer. Now, in this colourful, brilliant and idiosyncratic book, he unveils the whole hidden world of the Dutch Masters (and one Mistress).
