"For more than a century, Nashville's Hatch Show Print has produced show-posters for entertainers of all stripes, from country musicians to magicians, professional wrestlers to rock stars.

"In this day of new media dominance, the hand-carved, hand-set, hand-inked, and hand-cranked ethic and aesthetic of a Hatch Show Print poster is beyond compare. Complete with over 175 illustrations, including historical photographs and scores of beautiful posters, Hatch Show Print is a dazzling document of this legendary print shop." --Book Jacket.

The Monocle team celebrates the endlessly fascinating and culturally rich country of Japan.

The Monocle team heads north in this celebration of all things Nordic. This heavily illustrated book from Monocle is a celebration of the Nordic region, featuring some surprises, quirks—and maybe a sauna or two— along the way. Monocle’s journalists, editors, and photographers have returned time and again to all corners of northern Europe for insights, inspiration, and ideas for living better. This book isn’t about hammering the overhyped hygge trend or fussing over foamy food. Much the opposite—it’s about a shared but distinct set of values that have helped these nations excel in quiet diplomacy, thoughtful design, and reasoned debate. Monocle looks beyond the clichés and uncovers the people, companies, and stories that help the Nordic region rank highly in everything from art and architecture to eating well. Far from lumping these different nations together, the Monocle team will highlight the people, places and products that show the Nordics in all their nuances: lessons we can all learn from makers in Norway’s high north or retailers reaching higher in Reykjavík; the firms building bridges in Denmark or selling Swedish soft power abroad. The world can learn a lot from these northern countries and The Monocle Book of the Nordics is the ideal place to start.
