We live in an age defined by accelerating automation, polarized discourse, and constant cognitive overload. In ‘The Art of Organizing Thoughts’, first published in 1983 and newly resonant in the age of artificial intelligence, renowned scholar and teacher Shigehiko Toyama offers a humane and timeless reminder: thinking well is a distinctly human art, and one that must be cultivated, protected, and practiced. Toyama argues that knowledge alone is not wisdom – in fact, the more we accumulate, the easier it is to stop truly thinking.

Milwaukee 1932, the Great Depression going full blast, repeal of Prohibition just around the corner, Al Capone in the federal pen, the private investigation business shifting from labour-management relations to the more domestic kind. Hicks McTaggart, private eye, thinks he’s found job security until he gets sent out on what should be a routine case, locating the heiress of a Wisconsin cheese fortune who’s taken a mind to go wandering. Before he knows it, he finds himself on a liner, eventually ending up in Hungary where there’s no shoreline, a language from some other planet, & enough pastry to see any cop well into retirement – & of course no sign of the heiress he’s supposed to be chasing. By the time Hicks catches up with her he will find himself also entangled with Nazis, Soviet agents, British counterspies, swing musicians, practitioners of the paranormal, & the troubles that come with each of them.

Jazzy carpets, strange knick-knacks, ruff-wearing bar cats – London loves a pub, and the weirder, the better. In a world of soulless chains and overpriced gastropubs, these historic drinking dens, packed with delightful oddities, offer a glimpse of the city’s character. Whether bedecked in military regalia, stuffed with bizarre taxidermy or home to antiquated traditions, this opinionated guide is a celebration of proudly unusual boozers holding fast against cultural homogenisation. Cheers to that.
In October 1976, the London restaurant world was turned upside down when Michael Caine, celebrated chef Richard Shepherd and Irish entrepreneur Peter Langan opened Langan’s, a celebrity hangout that would revolutionise the capital’s dining scene. This soon became the most celebrated restaurant in the city, and helped turn London into an internationally recognised culinary hot spot. Inheriting its status from Mr. Chow and St. Lorenzo, Langan’s was soon joined by Joe Allen, Le Caprice and L’Escargot, making London the most vibrant restaurant capital of the age. London never looked back. Written with Dylan Jones’s trademark glamour and wit, ‘Table Hopping’ reveals all you need to know about the fine dining world of one of the greatest cities in the world.
‘Black Coffee and Red Lipstick’ is a collection of essays that weave ideas about our domestic and daily life – hence the black coffee – with thoughts on style and the way we present ourselves – hence the red lipstick. It combines anecdotes and observations from Alexandra Shulman’s 25 years spent editing British Vogue and her current life as a freelance writer and commentator. She draws on her experiences as a magazine editor but also a mother, daughter, sibling, girlfriend, housekeeper and lover of shopping. Alexandra left her job at Vogue in 2017 to embark on a different way of life and while this is in no way a book of self-discovery it does touch on the question of things or patterns of behaviour that make us who we are?
