  The name Leslie Townes Hope is not the most familiar to us.  Born in Eltham, London on May 29th, 1903 he and his family emigrated to the United States aboard the SS Philadelphia before moving to Cleveland, Ohio. 
   
  Although he entered show business in the 1920s it was only in 1928 that he changed his name to the one and only Bob Hope. 
   
  Stints in Vaudeville and then Broadway was followed by his radio debut in 1932 and feature films in 1938.   
   
  1938 was a banner year for Bob Hope as it was also the debut season for the eventual decade running smash-hit radio show: The Pepsodent Show.  Despite the sponsors, name getting the billing this was Hope’s show.   
   
  His opening monologue was the result of his hiring from his own pocket – he had an extravagant salary from the sponsor - of a team of 8 writers to write top notch jokes and skits.  His comic timing turned him into a sensation.  The show was so popular that it had its pick of the best of show business stars. Everyone wanted in. 
   
  Now its time to cut the talk and get ready for laughs.  It’s time for Bob Hope and his guests.

  Bus design is often taken for granted, yet from the earliest days of motorbuses coachbuilders have worked hard to produce vehicles that are both attractive and practical. From the 1950s, bus builders and operators have faced the challenges of new shapes and layouts with the widespread adoption of underfloor and rear-engine designs and there was recognition that passengers expected something rather better than a basic bus if they were to leave their cars at home.
  This new ebook looks at the development and evolution of bus design and covers the years from 1950 to the present day to reveal just how the UK's bus builders have risen to the challenge and produced buses with the elusive 'wow factor'. The book is packed with photographs, many of which are professionally-taken official bodybuilders' or operators' views as these show the many important design features clearly and in detail. These photographs are supported by in-service views, showing the bus in its working environment.
  This beautifully designed and illustrated book will appeal not only to ardent road transport enthusiasts, but will also be of interest to bus manufacturers and designers, and anyone interested in industrial design.

  “Weekend Handmade provides instructions for quirky crafts that virtually anyone can do . . . Think hipster Martha Stewart” (NPR Weekend Edition).   In Weekend Handmade, author Kelly Wilkinson encourages readers to celebrate the joy of crafting, both for the satisfaction of making something by hand, and because the finished items serve as reminders of time taken to slow down and create—no matter the day of the week. The book is organized into three sections: “Make” offers projects to wear or decorate with; “Grow” presents projects inspired by gardens, fields, and farmer’s markets; and “Gather” spotlights projects that enrich casual get-togethers. With clear, step-by-step instructions, every project in Weekend Handmade—from aprons, tablecloths, and marmalade to a memory box and a chandelier—can be completed in a few hours or over the course of a weekend.   “Think you can’t make anything—or, more importantly, that you don’t have the time to? Wilkinson’s undowdy projects—luminarias, table decorations—are all designed to be completed in a couple of hours.” —Entertainment Weekly
