    08

    The perfect cosy and uplifting romance to curl up with this winter!

    In Mistletoe Gardens a legend exists: anyone who kisses underneath the mistletoe will be guaranteed another year of love…

    When local baker Essie Browne discovers that Mistletoe Gardens is to be demolished in January, she’s determined to save the place she loves so much. So Essie proposes building a life size gingerbread house to bring in the crowds…just how hard can it be?

    Well, quite hard actually. Essie can bake gingerbread blindfolded, but she hasn’t got a clue how to build an actual house with it! She needs help – and fast!

    Enter local builder, Joss Hallissey. Essie is convinced that with Joss’s help they can pull this off. There’s just one tiny problem: Joss hates Christmas, gingerbread, and… well, just about everything else too.

    Joss the Grinch makes it clear that her idea is ludicrous and pointless, but he reluctantly agrees to help with her plan.

    Will the gingerbread house be enough to save Mistletoe Gardens? Or will Essie’s chance for a magical kiss under the mistletoe be lost forever?

    A NEW STATESMAN ‘BEST BOOK OF 2023’

    A SPECTATOR ‘BOOK OF THE YEAR’ 2023

    A WATERSTONES BEST BOOK OF 2023

    ‘A fine book on a fabulous subject’ Daily Telegraph

    ‘Fascinating’ Spectator

    ‘Surprisingly revealing … despite what Apple, Evernote and the like might try to tell us, the best cognitive tool available to us today was invented in the counting houses of Renaissance Florence’ The Sunday Times

    The first history of the notebook, a simple invention that changed the way the
    world thinks.

    We see notebooks everywhere we go. But where did this simple invention come from? How did they revolutionise our lives, and why are they such powerful tools for creativity? And how can using a notebook help you change the way you think?

    In this wide-ranging story, Roland Allen reveals all the answers. Ranging from the bustling markets of medieval Florence to the quiet studies of our greatest thinkers, he follows a trail of dazzling ideas, revealing how the notebook became our most dependable and versatile tool for creative thinking. He tells the notebook stories of artists like Leonardo and Frida Kahlo, scientists from Isaac Newton to Marie Curie, and writers from Chaucer to Henry James. We watch Darwin developing his theory of evolution in tiny pocketbooks, see Agatha Christie plotting a hundred murders in scrappy exercise books, and learn how Bruce Chatwin unwittingly inspired the creation of the Moleskine.

    On the way we meet a host of cooks, kings, sailors, fishermen, musicians, engineers, politicians, adventurers and mathematicians, who all used their notebooks as a space for thinking and to shape the modern world.

    In an age of AI and digital overload, the humble notebook is more relevant than ever. Allen shows how bullet points can combat ADHD, journals can ease PTSD, and patient diaries soften the trauma of reawakening from coma. The everyday act of moving a pen across paper can have profound consequences, changing the way we think and feel: making us more creative, more productive – and happier.

  • The Pet Gundog: A common sense approach to training your gundog

    08

    The Pet Gundog

    (Please note: The sequence of books is The Pet Gundog Puppy OR The Pet Gundog, followed by The Advanced Pet Gundog.)

    Revised and updated, this is the all-encompassing foundation guide for living with and training your gundog.

    Written for all of those gundog owners with dogs over five months of age, The Pet Gundog not only introduces you to the psychology of the dog, but offers practical training and behaviour advice on how to achieve harmony in your mixed – species pack, both in the home and whilst out and about.

    Focussed on building a relationship with your dog that is based on trust and common sense, The Pet Gundog covers training exercises that enable you to walk out with a dog you can be proud to take anywhere, as well as behaviour changing techniques that help you develop a well-mannered and relaxed dog at home; after all, who wants to live with a bolshie, bad mannered gundog?

    A toe-dipping foray into the world of shooting gives you an insight into what your dog has been bred for, and the foundation for all gundog training is covered in detail, as well as…

    • Optimum health and wellbeing
    • Socialisation for the adult dog
    • Age appropriate training
    • Foundation training
    • Upping the Ante for the novice pet gundog
    • Bringing home a part – trained or rescue gundog
    • Gundog games
    • Training challenges

    If you want to take advantage of your gundog’s innate behaviour so that walks become a pleasure, your home stays intact and you have a happy, contented and fulfilled companion, then The Pet Gundog needs to be on your bookshelf.

    Author’s note :

    If your puppy hasn’t reached the adolescent stage, and by that I mean he’s under four and a half months old, then do yourself a favour and go for The Pet Gundog Puppy rather than this book as The Pet Gundog has been written with dogs over 5 months in mind.

  • The Picture Book of Classic Cars: More Than 80 Classic Cars of the 20th Century (Picture Books – Transportation)

    01
    An Engaging Gift Book for Alzheimer’s Patients and Seniors with Dementia

    Do you sometimes find it difficult to engage your loved one with dementia? To help them stay calm in the midst of an emotional reaction? To find activities you can share with them that encourage peaceful interaction?

    This book can help.

    Thumbing through this beautiful picture book with your loved one is an activity that will capture their attention, engage their mind, and encourage them to relax. It’s filled with more than 80 full-color, high-resolution photos of classic cars of the 20th century. While many seniors with dementia have difficulty with short-term memory, older memories are more accessible. Seeing these vehicles from decades past may inspire them to talk about the cars they’ve owned over the years and reminisce about time spent in them with family and friends.

    You’ll find a lot of other picture books out there, mostly for kids. But it’s demeaning to give seniors books meant for children. Adult photography books are usually large and heavy, and they often include long, frustrating paragraphs of text.

    At Sunny Street Books, we design books specifically for seniors with dementia. They’re lightweight yet high-quality, adult in nature, with nothing to distract your loved one from their enjoyment of the photos themselves. They’re small, manageable “coffee table books” that will help reinforce your loved one’s sense of self while preserving their dignity.

    Families, caregivers, and assisted living staff can share this book with the people they care for. It is also an excellent activity for seniors with Parkinson’s disease or recovering from a stroke. Seniors with eyesight or strength challenges who find it difficult to hold a heavy book or read long paragraphs of text will also enjoy this book.

    FEATURES

    • Discreet Packaging.

    At no time is anything mentioned about Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, or any other challenges the reader might be facing. This book can be given to your loved one without fear that they might feel embarrassed or offended.

    • Beautiful Content.

    This book is filled with carefully-curated, full-color, high-resolution photos of more than 80 classic cars of the 20th century.

    • No Text.

    This is a no-text, photos-only book. The only text in the book is on the title and copyright page.

    • Manageable Size.

    This is a 40-page, 6” x 9” softcover that’s comfortable to hold and easy to tuck into a bag.

    • High Quality.

    The quality of this book’s cover and its interior design are indistinguishable from books created for other readers. Just because a book is simple and uncomplicated doesn’t mean it has to be unattractive, unprofessional, or childish.

    NOTES FOR CAREGIVERS

    • Sit beside your loved one in a quiet place that is free of distractions.

    • Allow them to hold the book if possible, and also turn the pages, which will enable them to become more engaged in the book.

    • Put a pillow in their lap to support the book as you thumb through it together.

    • Leave this book in an accessible place to allow your loved one to pick it up on their own when you’re not there.
