When you hit forty, you can’t quite believe how things have changed since you were a kid. So, back in the mid-1970s: no home computing, no mobile phones, no social media, clunky cars on the road, laughably bad TV, and flared trousers. And in the book business: no desktop publishing, no computer-to-plate, no digital photography, no PhotoShop or Illustrator, no Amazon, and no email.
It was in that kind of world that Quarto was created, responding to a gap in the market to create highly illustrated full-color books aimed at carefully targeted groups of readers, at a time when almost everyone else out there thought this was foolhardy and expensive. But by building up a network of international publishing partners, and using the economies of scale of large print runs, it worked.
Forty years on, the world has changed, and Quarto has adapted with it: with new markets, new categories and formats, and new approaches, all underpinned by many of the people reading this catalogue today (thank you!)—who have created the longstanding partnerships and new additions to our network of co-publishers across the world.
Each year in publishing we humans get a year older, but our publishing lists keep on getting rejuvenated, year by year, with the fresh and the new. Maybe this is the secret of everlasting youth.
Forty years old already? It’s just the beginning.

• Woodwork is a satisfying hobby and a great way to express your creative urge. But where do you start? What tools do you need? How do you use them? What wood should you use? Where can you get it from? Will your design work? Designer-maker-teacher Chris Tribe walks you through the processes step-by-step.
• The beginner or improver is guided in setting up a workshop, mastering the essential woodworking techniques, and making and finishing some specially designed projects where they can test their newfound skills.
• The very detailed instructions will show you how to use both hand and portable machine tools and, uniquely, dropped in throughout are “woodworking clinics” that explain what to do if things don’t turn out as expected!

• Key watercolor “life lessons” are explored with the help of 20 internationally recognized artists who in their individual essays reveal their secrets.

• A complete course in acrylics, built up from key techniques, demonstrated through the creation of a mini painting, measuring 5-inches square. By the time a reader has worked through the book, they will have an amazing collection of 50 mini paintings, on board, or paper, or canvas, that will be a testament to their skill and creativity.

• Ideal for anyone coming to acrylics for the first time, or keen to improve their skills, and who is sometimes daunted by the thought of filling a large canvas. Instead, it will free painters from creative hang-ups, and replace them with an addictive desire to create that next 5-inch square!

• Drawing people out in the world is exciting; there is an immediacy and honesty to the art you create, and each sketch contains a host of memories, not just of the individuals captured on the paper, but of the place and the moment in time that the sketch occupied. But it can also be a challenge: how do you spot people who are likely to stay still for you and how do you draw movement, for those occasions when they don’t!
• This book provides straight-forward, practical help to give beginner sketchers the confidence and ability to draw all sorts of people in a variety of situations. With detailed advice on how to put together an Urban Sketching toolkit and the best media to choose for particular situations, it will teach you new ways of looking at your subject, and different techniques to help you draw more quickly and explore new styles.

• This is a hands-on guide to learning to draw in perspective. It is partly about learning to draw a set of straight lines that meet at a point. And it’s partly about learning to look at what is around you, and spot where those invisible straight lines might be located.
• It’s a book for anyone who wants to draw or paint—in any genre and in any medium. And it’s not weighed down with theory—though we do explain how it all works.
• But most of all, it gives you exercises to play with. You can use our special “perspective chambers” to draw objects onto an existing scene, keeping it all in the right perspective: think of it as a kind of 3D doodling.
• By the time you get to the end of the book, you will understand how perspective works. The whole concept will feel like a sixth sense. And you can get on with being creative.

LEARN TO MAKE CHAIN MAILLE JEWELRY WITH 20 GREAT PROJECTS
The beginner’s guide to a timeless technique
• Chain maille jewelry is based on a very simple repetitive action—the linking together of scores of jump rings in aluminum, anodized metals (such as niobium), silver, and brass. But in the combination of the rings and in the hands of designer and teacher, Amy Leggett, it is possible to create show-stopping pieces of jewelry.
• The book contains 20 projects flagged by skill level. Some are unique, using Amy’s own designs, and some are traditional, without which no chain maille book would be complete.
• Photo sequences show the order of work, a “link identifier” helps where groups of different gauge rings are used in combination, and technique and troubleshooting panels are included when needed.

• Anyone who makes jewelry will tell you that sometimes things do not go to plan. Metals do not behave exactly as you expected them to. Or a joint that you thought was perfect suddenly becomes detached. Or an unexpected slip of the tool in your hands will make you believe you have just ruined your last three hours of work.
• Of course, it’s only by making and resolving mistakes that you really learn the craft. But wouldn’t it be wonderful if there was a manual that was able to identify where you’d gone wrong and suggest some foolproof ways to fix it? This book is that manual!
• Frieda Munro draws on her experience both making and teaching, and describes every conceivable problem that a jeweler might face at all stages of making a piece—suggesting ways to resolve what’s gone wrong, or to use it creatively: turning a fault into a design feature.

VINTAGE FURNITURE MADE GOOD
Everything you need to know to repair and restore furniture
• Drawers that don’t open, doors that won’t shut, lids that won’t lock, surfaces that don’t gleam, and tables that rock when you lean on them. Furniture restorer and designer Mark Griffiths loves to fix stuff, and here he shows the reader how-to.
• Mark takes the reader through clear step-by- step stages to fixing up fleastore treasures and garage-sale finds. And, unlike the majority of furniture-restoration books available, he uses an unintimidating, achievable, and confidence-building approach that will appeal to a craft-minded Etsy generation.
• Projects are grouped into specific areas of the home, such as dining, study, and kitchen. Techniques to be covered include woodwork, upholstery, and finishing. A useful “recipe” section provides formulas and tricks to deal with a multitude of restoration issues, such as how a mix of cigar ash and white spirit will remove white ring marks, and how a once sticky drawer will glide again with the correct application of candle wax.

• The 100 books originate from around the world and each has played a critical role in the development of books in all their forms and with all that they bring: literacy, numeracy, technological progress, religion, political theory, oppression, liberation, entertainment, and more.
• Classic examples, such as Gutenberg’s 42-Line Bible, are included alongside less well-known titles. Each entry is placed in its historical context and includes connections to books across cultures and periods of time.

Contemporary Japanese quilts stand out with
their sophisticated reinvention of patchwork
and appliqué quilt blocks in a beautiful, soft
sepia color range that has become known as
Japanese taupe. These cool, calm quilts are
as much at home in modern country style as
in chic urban settings. It all starts with the
fabrics—small and large prints, shaded ombré
effects, woven plaids and textures—in muted
colors. These harmonious fabrics are easily
combined, often with accents of brick red,
olive green, or yellow ocher, to create a new
yet nostalgic style that resonates with quilters
all over the world.
Each block pattern has been drafted from a
variety of traditional sources, including Japanese
fabric, paper, and architectural designs, and
kamon family crests. Each block features a
photograph, clear instructional diagram, fabric
palette and cutting guide, templates where
appropriate, and instructions for making the
block. At-a-glance icons indicate skill level and
techniques used. Patchwork, appliqué,
embellishment, and quilting techniques are
clearly explained with step-by-step photographs,
from cutting out to finishing off.
The blocks can be mixed and matched,
tesselated for allover patterns, or combined
in sampler quilts. Mix-and-match ideas are
supplied throughout the block directory,
together with six simple projects to inspire
you to create beautiful quilts in the distinctive
Japanese taupe style.
Susan Briscoe is a textile designer, author, and teacher, specializing in sashiko and Japanese textile design. After graduating in visual art and design, Briscoe worked as an English teacher in Japan, where she also studied the tea ceremony, traditional textiles, and kimono design and tailoring.

She is the author of Japanese Quilt Blocks to Mix & Match.

taupe, these quilts are recognizable by the use of traditional blocks combined with contemporary woven textiles and sophisticated prints.
t Choose from 125 patchwork and appliqué blocks, reinterpreted in Japanese taupe fabrics, including geometric, curved, pictorial, and family crest designs.
t Combine different fabrics and prints to create the overall look and distinctive style that typifies taupe quilts. All the techniques you need to make the blocks are explained step by step.
