Shoemakers and shoes have one thing in common, they've both existed for a very long time. Leather shoes are said to date as far back as 5,500 years ago, while rubber shoes have existed since the 18th century. Today, there more shoes made out of leather and rubber than any other material and the traditional shoemaker has evolved into million-dollar companies, churning out exquisite shoes and raking in amazing profits every year.In the midst of all this, it was quite easy to take for granted or forget about the intricacies of making the right shoe, but not anymore.Author William Henry Dooley not only carefully describes the processes of shoe making; specifically relating to leather and rubber, he also outlines the repair, maintenance and managment of shoes.So, whether you are a shoe artist looking to begin your journey or a professional with a need to get better; step into the shoes of a true veteran shoemaker, take it for a walk and know that you are about to get valuable shoemaking knowledge, like never before.

LIMITED FIRST EDITION contains red foil gilded page edges and a black satin ribbon marker."I see many things. I see plans within plans."Following his underground hit Eraserhead and critically acclaimed The Elephant Man, visionary filmmaker David Lynch set his sights on bringing Frank Herbert's beloved sci-fi novel Dune to the screen. The project had already vexed directors such as Alejandro Jodorowsky (El Topo) and Ridley Scott (Alien). But by the early '80s Universal Pictures was prepared to give Lynch the keys to the kingdom - and the highest budget in the studio's history at the time - so that he could lend his surrealistic chops to this sprawling story of feuding space dynasties. They would also hopefully be creating a "Star Wars for adults" franchise-starter.As the hot young filmmaker commanded a cast with 42 major speaking parts as well as a crew of 1,700 (plus over 20,000 extras) on 80 sets built on 8 sound stages in Mexico, what happened next became as wild, complex, and full of intrigue as Herbert's novel itself.Film writer Max Evry goes behind the erratic ride of David Lynch's Dune like never before, with a years-in-the-making oral history culled from a lineup of new interviews with the film's stars (Kyle MacLachlan, Sean Young, Virginia Madsen, etc.), creatives, film executives, and insiders - not to mention Lynch himself.David Lynch's Dune initially left many filmgoers and reviewers scratching their heads, most dismissing the film upon its release. However, four decades and a big-budget remake later, Lynch's Dune is finally poised to find its rightful place alongside the director's other masterpieces such as Blue Velvet and Mullholland Drive.Max Evry's A Masterpiece in Disarray takes you back to 1984 with the deepest dive yet into the cult classic that is David Lynch's Dune.

Perfect for fans of Hannah Grace and The Dagger and the Flame, this scorching debut romantasy follows a young woman who makes a deal with the Devil to escape the underworld only to fall for him instead.Willow White is dead. She's annoyed about it. She was supposed to be graduating and turning into a responsible adult, not proving her family right when they called her a failure. Now, thanks to one tiny (if fatal) mishap, she's landed in a dimension named Asphodel that looks suspiciously like Hell. Determined to redeem herself, Willow makes a deal with Asphodel's ruler, the mysterious and unfairly attractive King Sath: complete seven tasks, resist the seven sins, and he'll let her return to her human existence. But when Sath is temptation itself, sin may be hard to resist... Battling demons is one thing. Battling her growing feelings for Sath is another. After discovering a demon plot to unleash the worst of their kind, putting everyone in Asphodel at risk of an eternity of torment, Willow is torn: she can complete the tasks, return to the life she was on the brink of rebuilding, and abandon the dead-and Sath-to their grim fate, or she can stay and help him stop the uprising...even if that leaves her trapped in Asphodel forever.

Text, translation, and critical study of one of the most important medieval bestiaries.The bestiary - a book of animals, both real and mythical - is one of the most interesting and appealing medieval artefacts. The "Second-family" bestiary is the most important and frequently produced version (some 49 known manuscripts exist). Of English origin and predominantly English production, it boasts a spiritual text "modernized" to meet the needs of its time, and features exceptional illustrations. This study addresses the work's purpose and audience, challenging previous assumptions with direct evidence in the manuscripts themselves, linking their use to teachers at the elementary-school level, and exploring the art, the text, and the cultural context for the bestiary. It includes a critical edition and new English translation, and a catalogue raisonné of the manuscripts. Fully illustrated.
