Rain and Hail by Franklyn M Branley
Franklyn M Branley wrote over 150 science books for children, but Rain and Hail from the Let’s-Read-and-Find-Out-Science series is one of his best.
1980s Fashion Print by Marnie Fogg
We’ve featured her 1950s print book (and mentioned its 60s counterpart), so I thought we should also cover Marnie Fogg’s 1980s Fashion Print book for those whose favourite decade is the era of New Romantics, shoulder pads and excess.

Celia Birtwell book by Celia Birtwell and Dominic Lutyens
Interestingly, no one has written a book on Celia Birtwell, so it's about time one turned up. Which happens to be this Celia Birtwell book by Celia Birtwell and Dominic Lutyens.
Part life story, part feature on her work, Celia Birtwell features personal photographs and sketches of Celia, her family and friends, especially from her 'bohemian' life in the 1960s and 70s and images from her long association with David Hockney as both friend and muse. Of course, the flipside is Birtwell the designer, with the book also offering up a multitude of examples of her fashion and home fabrics.
Quadrille publishes the 208-page book in hardback from 3rd October 2011, with Amazon doing discounted pre-orders for £20.99. Also, look out for Celia Birtwell: In Conversation at the V&A, which takes place on Friday 23rd September. Who knows…you might get a signed copy on the night.

A Clockwork Orange book cover limited edition print by David Pelham
It is an instantly-recognisable image, with this A Clockwork Orange book cover limited edition print by David Pelham now available to buy in a limited edition.
It's available from new fine art company Wire Frame, which has reproduced the cover art of David Pelham, specifically his work on JG Ballard covers, but most famously of all, this cover for the original issue of Anthony Burgess' A Clockwork Orange. It's a cover that has never been bettered by subsequent reissues of the book.
Each print is on matt 310gsm fine art paper and uses pigment-based lightfast inks. The prints are individually signed and numbered by the artist and include an accompanying certificate of authenticity. Sized at 60 x 40cm, you can secure one for £275.
