REDSTONE PRESS WHOLESALE CATALOGUE AUTUMN / WINTER 2016

THE REDSTONE DIARY 2017: TIME Edited by Julian Rothenstein with Charles Boyle ISBN 978 0 9928316 3 9 Publication date: June 16 Spiral bound / 245mm x 167mm / 160pp / £16.95 inc. VAT

Here, now, and then gone – the whole life of a mayfly, history before night falls; or this one year in your own lifespan of three score and ten.

We measure time – and spend it, waste it, even attempt to manage it – but time in the end has the measure of us all: it is the element in which we live and die.

Weeks will speed by; through the gates of memory or dream, minutes will expand to infinity. Welcome to The Redstone Diary 2017, in which the many dimensions of time are revealed and explored and each day is far more than its calendar reckoning.

WHERE AM I? A BOOK OF HIDDEN IMAGES

BY TATIANA GLEBOVA

ISBN 978 0 9928316 5 3 Publication date: May 26 Hardback / 297mm x 216mm / 32pp / £11.95 A BOOK OF HIDDEN IMAGES BY

TATIANA GLEBOVA

WHERE AM I ?

Tatiana Glebova was a celebrated soviet book illustrator and painter. A friend to many of Russia’s best-known avant-garde artists, poets and writers, her book Where Am I? was completed in 1928 but never printed.

Published to coincide with the House of Illustration’s much anticipated show on children’s books from Soviet Russia, the images are both startlingly original yet completely timeless.

The perfect gift for curious children and parents alike, these engaging images will brighten any playroom!

Where is the driver?

Where is the fish?

Where is the polar bear?

THE BLIND PHOTOGRAPHER Edited by Julian Rothenstein and Mel Gooding Introduction by CANDIA MCWILLIAM ISBN 978 0 9928316 1 5 Publication date: 8 September 2016 Hardback / 297mm x 216mm / 216pp / £29.95

This exhilarating book will open your eyes. It is the first to explore the worldwide phenomenon of the blind and partially-sighted who take up photography in all its vibrancy and diversity and showcases brilliant work from Mexico, India, China, the UK and elsewhere.

With over 150 striking photographs, many accompanied by the photographers own words, we encounter the paradox that it is sight itself that seems sharpened by blindness.

Published to coincide with an exhibition during Les Rencontres d’Arles photography festival in July, and events at the Photographers Gallery, London, in September.

A young Czech mother in exile, Markéta Luskačová began photographing street musicians in the early 1970s. The great tradition of Czech photography found itself at home in the littered London of the poor and ordinary, their kids and dogs.

Sweet music in grim streets Sharp sounds in street markets WITH A FOREWORD BY JOHN BERGER

PSYCHOBOOK PSYCHOLOGICAL TESTS, GAMES AND QUESTIONNAIRES INTRODUCTION BY LIONEL SHRIVER Edited by Julian Rothenstein Commentaries by Mel Gooding ISBN 978 0 9928316 2 2 Publication date: September 15 Hardback / 297mm x 216mm / 196pp / £25.00

“Psychobook is part comedy, part history, part self-help, and part coffee-table objet d’art. It’s part sincere, part tongue-in-cheek, part meditation, part mockery, but its production is universally beautiful, its sensibility universally droll.” LIONEL SHRIVER PSYCHOBOOK will inform, entertain, delight and amaze you. It is a spectacular revelation of a world long hidden from the popular eye. It brings to light a fascinating array of psychological tests and questionnaires all too often shrouded in professional secrecy.

PSYCHOBOOK presents famous tests, such as the Rorschach Inkblot Test and the Thematic Apperception Test, in new versions that beguile the eye, intrigue the mind and stretch the imagination. Some invite you to participate: who knows what you will discover?

Newly invented questionnaires by non-psychologist writers including Patricia Duncker, Robert McCrum, Will Eaves, Charles Boyle and Kate Pullinger wittily undermine the assumptions of the professionals. Imaginative, ironic, sometimes disconcerting, they are provided with entertaining and thought-provoking keys to interpretation.

This new publication from Redstone Press, publishers of the best-selling PSYCHOGAMES, is subversive, provocative, visually stunning and fun. It will engage, surprise and delight all who open its pages.

PSYCHOBOOK will be launching with a companion site, a first for Redstone Press! The interactive site will include free downloadable tests, games and questionnaires from the book, a Redstone approved Agony aunt, psycho-party packs and much more.

EVERYDAY GUILT TEST (EGT)

BY KATE PULLINGER

This test, to be done in the morning, will help you and/or your subject determine the impact that guilt has on everyday life.

When you get up in the morning do you a) wish you had got up earlier? b) wish you had slept better? c) wish you didn’t have to get up at all? d) simply get up and get on with the day?

While you eat your breakfast do you a) feel bad about the fact that all you eat in the morning is sugar? b) shout at the radio then worry about who has heard you? c) plan the rest of the day’s meals carefully in order to achieve a balanced diet, then remember those plans later after you’ve eaten? d) complete yesterday’s newspaper crossword while humming your favourite tune?

When you pick up your phone and discover eight new messages from your least favourite parent/work colleague/classmate do you a) delete the messages without reading them? b) wish that person had never been born then regret that wish? c) tell yourself you’ll deal with this problem later? d) answer all the messages while remaining calm?

When you get in your car in order to drive to work/school/the bar do you a) look at your bicycle and wonder why you thought buying it would mean you would ride it? b) remember that promise you made last night to give your neighbour a lift but drive off without them anyway? c) think about how car emissions are destroying the world and how you are powerless to do anything about it? d) pop on the radio to your favourite hits station and groove your way through town?

Score 4 for option a), 3 for b), 2 for c) and 1 for d). Then total your scores and turn to page 185 to determine your guilt level.
