Summary

Editor's Choice, The Bookseller
A mix of memoir and narrative non-fiction, White Spines is a book about Nicholas Royle's passion for Picador's fiction and non-fiction publishing from the 1970s to the end of the 1990s. It explores the bookshops and charity shops, the books themselves, and the way a unique collection grew and became a literary obsession. Above all a love song to books, writers and writing.

    From an Emmy Award–winning comedy writer: “An absolute must for every parent who needs to laugh so they don’t cry.” —Bunmi Laditan, author of Confessions of a Domestic Failure 
     
    From the comedian behind the popular parenting blog The Ugly Volvo comes a refreshing spin on the baby milestone book. Instead of a place to lovingly capture the first time baby sleeps through the night, this book commemorates baby’s first poop explosion; first time baby says a word you didn’t want her to say; and first time you forget the details of childbirth enough to consider having a second kid. 
     
    Accompanied by distinctive illustrations, these one hundred rarely documented but all-too-realistic milestones provide comfort, solidarity, and comic relief for exhausted and terrified new parents.

    The "As Above So Below" principle of the Universe and our active participation in the creation of the world around us is finally seared into our noggins in this funny, anecdotal-and much needed addition to the Spiritual Self-Help sector.  
    Deliciously grounded and telling it exactly as it is, this is a truly helpful guide that packs a highly refreshing punch: giving you the nitty-gritty on how, by looking at the Divine Dis-order you've created around you, you can (finally) shift and change that energy in your life.  
    Advocates of old-age practices such as "Feng Shui" and New-Age must-haves like "Affirmations" take note: Masuak's take-mp prisoners irreverance will leave you tossing out your Bagua's and Smiley-faces in favor of a vacuum and a hefty bag- or ever, shockingly, filling up your space with stuff you never even (until now) knew you wanted.  
    Definitely not for the faint-hearted or the easilyoffended, "The SpiritualSlob" is perhaps the most entertaining and straight-forward book of its kind-the perfect antidote to those of us who are tired of flapping our wings so hard to get to heaven.
