Mainline Railway Stamps: A Collector’s Guide (Transport Philately Series)
For this second book in the Transport Philately series on public transport issues featured on postage stamps, once again the author will combine two of his life-long hobbies as he looks at railways around the world on standard gauge tracks that encompasses the majority of the western worlds major railway arteries. The book will also illustrate railways on other, similar gauges of track where they constitute a countrys major arteries, but it is not an exhaustive survey encompassing every country and every issue for that one needs to refer to major catalogue issues by such well-known authorities as Stanley Gibbons Plc. There have been many and varied reasons why postal authorities have issued stamps featuring railway subjects, varying from major anniversaries to national pride, the latter often from the former Eastern-bloc countries but that is not by all means. The Royal Mail in the UK has certainly not ignored railways, especially in later years, and the author will visit probably more of his native country’s stamps than most other countries, but hes biased. The author often looks in his albums to try to understand why a particular country will sometimes be represented by bulging sections, whilst others are represented by but one or two stamp. And so, the book follows the story around the world in roughly an eastern journey, learning about some of the national histories on the way and admiring the attentions of some extremely accomplished artists that mean philatelists and rail-lovers alike can enjoy many beautiful miniature works of art.Read more

The latest chapter of RETURN TO CORNWALL brings readers two very different weddings—and one very surprising client—for the final novel in the bestselling series!
Having once dismissed Kitty’s fears about a rival wedding planner, Julianne’s words come back to haunt her when she learns that a smart, upscale event planning service is planning to open its newest branch in Cornwall. Elegant Settings and its lead event planner Emma Dumbridge caters to the kind of wealthy clients that Julianne and Kitty rely on to make their local client’s small weddings financially possible, and Julianne worries that this spells doom for Save the Date.
Julianne’s worries will only be compounded by the shock of learning the name of their rival’s first Cornish wedding—Matt’s ex and Julianne’s first-ever wedding client, the model Petal Borroway. Much to her chagrin, she and Kitty are tapped by the chic event planner to oversee a few minor local affairs on their client’s behalf, a role which she feels they have no choice but to fulfill.
Speaking of small-scale clients, Rosie and animal whisperer Thamis have decided to tie the knot, which means Julianne and Kitty are tasked with helping her create a memorable day on a budget. Planning what could be the last wedding before their beloved business begins slipping away—whilst helping create a wedding for her least-favorite client of all time—Julianne is surrounded by questions, doubts, and a few old ghosts, as she faces a future she can’t yet imagine.
Will Save the Date survive its rivalry? Will Julianne be able to deal with Matt seeing Petal again? Will Rosie’s happy day come together despite all the challenges in the lives of its planners? All will be revealed as we say goodbye to the well-loved sequel series and to Julianne, Matt, and all the beloved characters of Ceffylgwyn.

Unravelling the Silk Road: Travels and Textiles in Central Asia
Three textile roads tangle their way through Central Asia. The famous Silk Road united east and west through trade. Older still was the Wool Road, of critical importance when houses made from wool enabled nomads to traverse the inhospitable winter steppes. Then there was the Cotton Road, marked by greed, colonialism and environmental disaster.
At this intersection of human history, fortunes were made and lost through shimmering silks, life-giving felts and gossamer cottons. Chris Aslan, who has spent fifteen years living and working in the region, expertly unravels the strands of this tangled history and embroiders them with his own experiences of life in the heart of Asia.
