When you hit forty, you can’t quite believe how things have changed since you were a kid. So, back in the mid-1970s: no home computing, no mobile phones, no social media, clunky cars on the road, laughably bad TV, and flared trousers. And in the book business: no desktop publishing, no computer-to-plate, no digital photography, no PhotoShop or Illustrator, no Amazon, and no email.

It was in that kind of world that Quarto was created, responding to a gap in the market to create highly illustrated full-color books aimed at carefully targeted groups of readers, at a time when almost everyone else out there thought this was foolhardy and expensive. But by building up a network of international publishing partners, and using the economies of scale of large print runs, it worked.

Forty years on, the world has changed, and Quarto has adapted with it: with new markets, new categories and formats, and new approaches, all underpinned by many of the people reading this catalogue today (thank you!)—who have created the longstanding partnerships and new additions to our network of co-publishers across the world.

Each year in publishing we humans get a year older, but our publishing lists keep on getting rejuvenated, year by year, with the fresh and the new. Maybe this is the secret of everlasting youth.

Forty years old already? It’s just the beginning.

• Woodwork is a satisfying hobby and a great way to express your creative urge. But where do you start? What tools do you need? How do you use them? What wood should you use? Where can you get it from? Will your design work? Designer-maker-teacher Chris Tribe walks you through the processes step-by-step.

• The beginner or improver is guided in setting up a workshop, mastering the essential woodworking techniques, and making and finishing some specially designed projects where they can test their newfound skills.

• The very detailed instructions will show you how to use both hand and portable machine tools and, uniquely, dropped in throughout are “woodworking clinics” that explain what to do if things don’t turn out as expected!

• How-to techniques are at the heart of the book—they feature detailed explanations and demonstrations enabling you to progress with this sometimes-unpredictable medium. Included throughout this section are “clinics,” which focus on typical mistakes made and how to avoid them.

• Key watercolor “life lessons” are explored with the help of 20 internationally recognized artists who in their individual essays reveal their secrets.

Learn how to observe and draw the details of faces Great advice about where to sketch, and who to choose

• Drawing people out in the world is exciting; there is an immediacy and honesty to the art you create, and each sketch contains a host of memories, not just of the individuals captured on the paper, but of the place and the moment in time that the sketch occupied. But it can also be a challenge: how do you spot people who are likely to stay still for you and how do you draw movement, for those occasions when they don’t!

• This book provides straight-forward, practical help to give beginner sketchers the confidence and ability to draw all sorts of people in a variety of situations. With detailed advice on how to put together an Urban Sketching toolkit and the best media to choose for particular situations, it will teach you new ways of looking at your subject, and different techniques to help you draw more quickly and explore new styles.

• This is a hands-on guide to learning to draw in perspective. It is partly about learning to draw a set of straight lines that meet at a point. And it’s partly about learning to look at what is around you, and spot where those invisible straight lines might be located.

• It’s a book for anyone who wants to draw or paint—in any genre and in any medium. And it’s not weighed down with theory—though we do explain how it all works.

• But most of all, it gives you exercises to play with. You can use our special “perspective chambers” to draw objects onto an existing scene, keeping it all in the right perspective: think of it as a kind of 3D doodling.

• By the time you get to the end of the book, you will understand how perspective works. The whole concept will feel like a sixth sense. And you can get on with being creative.

• Anyone who makes jewelry will tell you that sometimes things do not go to plan. Metals do not behave exactly as you expected them to. Or a joint that you thought was perfect suddenly becomes detached. Or an unexpected slip of the tool in your hands will make you believe you have just ruined your last three hours of work.

• Of course, it’s only by making and resolving mistakes that you really learn the craft. But wouldn’t it be wonderful if there was a manual that was able to identify where you’d gone wrong and suggest some foolproof ways to fix it? This book is that manual!

• Frieda Munro draws on her experience both making and teaching, and describes every conceivable problem that a jeweler might face at all stages of making a piece—suggesting ways to resolve what’s gone wrong, or to use it creatively: turning a fault into a design feature.

VINTAGE FURNITURE MADE GOOD

Everything you need to know to repair and restore furniture

• Drawers that don’t open, doors that won’t shut, lids that won’t lock, surfaces that don’t gleam, and tables that rock when you lean on them. Furniture restorer and designer Mark Griffiths loves to fix stuff, and here he shows the reader how-to.

• Mark takes the reader through clear step-by- step stages to fixing up fleastore treasures and garage-sale finds. And, unlike the majority of furniture-restoration books available, he uses an unintimidating, achievable, and confidence-building approach that will appeal to a craft-minded Etsy generation.

• Projects are grouped into specific areas of the home, such as dining, study, and kitchen. Techniques to be covered include woodwork, upholstery, and finishing. A useful “recipe” section provides formulas and tricks to deal with a multitude of restoration issues, such as how a mix of cigar ash and white spirit will remove white ring marks, and how a once sticky drawer will glide again with the correct application of candle wax.

• Some 2,500 years ago Sun Tzu wrote a military treatise called The Art of War. Since then the book has been used not just by military tacticians but by business leaders, planners, traders, politicians, and even sports coaches. Here, Sun Tzu’s lessons are applied to how to play a winning game of chess.

• Securing victory for your king, vanquishing your opponents, and slaughtering their pawns; keeping your cool under the pressure of battle, defending your territory, sacrificing your pieces … in several respects, chess game plans are similar to military operations.

• Author and chess teacher Al Lawrence has teamed up with International Grandmaster Elshan Moradiabadi to deliver 50 fascinating lessons that draw on scenarios from classic chess games, and prove that playing by Sun Tzu’s philosophies will make you a dangerous opponent and a winning player.

• The 100 books originate from around the world and each has played a critical role in the development of books in all their forms and with all that they bring: literacy, numeracy, technological progress, religion, political theory, oppression, liberation, entertainment, and more.

• Classic examples, such as Gutenberg’s 42-Line Bible, are included alongside less well-known titles. Each entry is placed in its historical context and includes connections to books across cultures and periods of time.

Contemporary Japanese quilts stand out with

their sophisticated reinvention of patchwork

and appliqué quilt blocks in a beautiful, soft

sepia color range that has become known as

Japanese taupe. These cool, calm quilts are

as much at home in modern country style as

in chic urban settings. It all starts with the

fabrics—small and large prints, shaded ombré

effects, woven plaids and textures—in muted

colors. These harmonious fabrics are easily

combined, often with accents of brick red,

olive green, or yellow ocher, to create a new

yet nostalgic style that resonates with quilters

all over the world.

Each block pattern has been drafted from a

variety of traditional sources, including Japanese

fabric, paper, and architectural designs, and

kamon family crests. Each block features a

photograph, clear instructional diagram, fabric

palette and cutting guide, templates where

appropriate, and instructions for making the

block. At-a-glance icons indicate skill level and

techniques used. Patchwork, appliqué,

embellishment, and quilting techniques are

clearly explained with step-by-step photographs,

from cutting out to finishing off.

The blocks can be mixed and matched,

tesselated for allover patterns, or combined

in sampler quilts. Mix-and-match ideas are

supplied throughout the block directory,

together with six simple projects to inspire

you to create beautiful quilts in the distinctive

Japanese taupe style.
