The Archer’s Craft Customer Review: Spendid read on the History and craft of bowmaking
We all know from childhood how to make a bow and arrow from a thin branch, a piece of string and a sharpened stick. A.E. Hodgkin knows how to do it correctly. He starts the book with a history of archery quoting extracts from various historical sources on its rise and fall as a military weapon, its revival, survival and dismissal under the various Kings and Queens of England. He describes the types of wood for bows and arrows giving reasons for their choice. His writing is splendidly readable being both simplistic and impassioned. Written in the 1950’s he tells a knowledgeable and enlightening lesson with a delightful attitude so laid back that he is truly professional. A Rick Stein of Archery. The second half of the book describes the simple methods of bow and arrow making at home, in the sun, on the doorstep. The last part of the book deals with hunting with the bow and the various techniques learnt through listening and observing. It is evident Hodgkin didn’t waste his time watching television, but instead absorbed himself in his hobby, learning his craft, reading and practising. Fortunately for us he took time out to patiently impart the facts to the reader in a most relaxed and enjoyable style.

Imaginative Writing: The Elements of Craft (Penguin Academics) Customer Review: A Geeky Review
We (my companion and I)love this book because it is the first creative writing text book that we have come across that has taught us more than lectures and seminars put together. The exercises are fun and inventive, and are good practice for any aspiring writer. It also helps when you are wearing thin on the ideas front. Just a thought, a copy should be made for those who are slightly visually impaired…an a4 sized book perhaps with slightly larger text for those who cant be bothered to wear their glasses!

Heart and Soul: Revealing the Craft of Songwriting, in association with the British Academy of Composers and Songwriters Customer Review: A fantastic book!
I bought this for my boyfriend (who is a musician) last month and he has found this to be the best book on songwriting there is. Really easy to read and to understand, he has been writing some great songs as a result. In fact, he finally wrote a song for me - something he has been promising me for ages! I would recommend this book wholeheartedly to any musician or girlfriend of a musician! Love S x
Customer Review: Very thorough! Mojo Review
“Very thorough guide to the arcane world of writing songs for fun and profit…If you think you have the required resilience [to be a songwriter], then you’ll need a copy of Heart & Soul.”

The Craft of the Classroom: A Survival Guide to Classroom Management in the Secondary School Customer Review: The most helpful publication I have read
This is the most helpful publication I have read on classroom management and how to avoid problems rather than deal with them. My copy was given to me by my former headmaster when I began my teaching career sixteen years ago and I find myself quoting from it spontaneously as I guide Beginner Teachers. The advice is timeless and will help you to create a calm and orderly environment in which your pupils can learn most effectively. As Marland states, teachers are not ‘born’, they learn their skills, and this book will give trainees a headstart in doing just that.
Customer Review: Invaluable
It may look and occasionally sound (eg in its advice on what to wear) dated, but this is a wise and realistic book - I’m sure it would help PGCE students, NQTs and many others in their early years of teaching. The book’s great strength is its practical advice - few books or even courses would go into as much depth about routines of giving out books, how to set out your markbook, and how to pace yourself through the term and year, and yet these are the issues that to a great extent determine whether a young teachers succeeds or struggles. Marland offers many hints and tips, and urges you to accept them but still leaves alternatives open if they seem more appropriate. Buy it, read it, and then read it again in a few months to make sure you have imbibed all the ideas - it may make all the difference to your career.

Picture Framing: The Art of Picture Framing in Over 25 Beautiful Projects (Craft Workshop) Customer Review: A very inspiring well planned and wriiten book
I own a number of framing books and have also seen others in book shops and libraries. This is my favourite of all. I find it very inspiring, it makes me want to create some frames and put them up in my living room whether I find something to put in them or not. It does not contain the tiresome waffle that so many books try to fill themselves with. What it does say is very clear and makes understanding of the how-to-do easier. The pictographical complimentation to the text is a master coreographpy making need for text more economic. This ergonomic and graphically beautiful book is one for both amateur and professional framer to keep on the coffe table, to brose through over and over. This gives you the craft side of framing you need to compliment and diversify away from from basic joinery of mass manuractured mouldings and techniques.
