Books in here are just as brilliant as the others but there aren't enough by a particular artist to warrant a section (which usually means there's only one!). Browse, enjoy and start building your very own fantasy library! |

Maxfield Parrish (1870 - 1966) is one of America's greatest painters. He was most famed for his 'girls on rocks' paintings but actually senty most of his later life just painting landscapes. He was a visionary and an individualist who strode his own way through life and created beautiful paintings that are now highly collectable. |

We have stock of a few back-issues of this amazing UK Discworld fanzine that is sadly no longer around. They measure 150 mm x 21 mm and are forty pages chock full of stuff about the Discworld that you never even dreamt you didn't know. Some of it is dated old news but a lot of it is still valid and of interest now. For those who don't know, until there were a few raised eyebrows from parents of younger fans, the full original title was 'The Wizard's Knob' from the song of the same name in ....oh, go on and look it up...I do all the work round here! |
