Welcome

to this year’s Quarto Catalogue 2016— the year that marks Quarto’s 40th Birthday*

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.

*40th anniversaries are traditionally celebrated with a precious stone. There is a clue as to which stone this is in the design of this catalogue. Don’t take too long trying to figure this out.

A practical manual: tools, techniques, and troubleshooting

AUTHOR Chris Tribe

AUTHOR David Webb

AUTHOR Julia Fallon

• 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.

• In this beautifully produced book, artist and teacher David Webb shares his expertise to provide comprehensive guidance for all skill-level painters.

• A beautifully presented technique-resource—a guide to dressmakers new to the craft and those who want to take their skills further.

• He begins with the essentials, such as the properties of paint and how to assess the springiness of a paintbrush.

• 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.

• How-to techniques are at the heart of the book— they feature detailed explanations and demonstrations enabling you to progress with this sometimes-unpredictable medium. Included throughout this section are “clinics,” which focus on typical mistakes made and how to avoid them.

• This definitive how-to book features scores of step-by-step sequences showing every kind of technique, from adapting paper patterns to couture-inspired seaming techniques that will elevate your garment-making skills.

Watercolor Painting WCCG Dressmaking DMCG

• 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.

• No one is better placed than Julia Fallon to write the book’s recurring “clinic” features. Her hugely popular and always over-subscribed dressmaking classes mean she knows exactly the techniques that newbies get stuck on. And she has neat tricks and sage advice for how-to bloopers.

LEARN TO PAINT IN ACRYLICS WITH 50 SMALL PAINTINGS

LEARN TO DRAW WITH 50 SMALL SKETCHES

Pick up the skills, put on the paint, hang up your art

The quick and effective way to learn all the essential drawing techniques

• 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.

• If you want to get addicted to drawing—and learn all the techniques at the same time—then this is the book for you. Learn to Draw with 50 Small Sketches will show you how to immerse yourself in the places, people, and things of your everyday life, and record it all in your sketchbook in a series of small and quick sketches.

• The subject matter for these squares varies from abstracts and simple color-mixing exercises through to figurative subjects: a flower, a sunset, a busy street scene—and many more.

• Each project builds on the previous one, progressing from drawing simple objects with lines, to understanding value and color, to sketching interior views, and then to tackling complex scenes out on location.

• 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!

• By the time you reach the end of the book, you will have a sketchbook full of amazing sketches— containing both a record of your life and of your drawing skills.

SKETCHING PEOPLE An urban sketcher’s manual to drawing figures and faces • 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!

DRAWING PERSPECTIVE How to see it, how to draw it • 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.

TROUBLESHOOTING FOR JEWELERS All the common problems, why they happen, and how to fix them • 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! AUTHOR Frieda Munro

• 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.

CHESS AND THE ART OF WAR Ancient wisdom to make you a better player • Some 2,500 years ago Sun Tzu wrote a military treatise called The Art of War. Since then the book has been used not just by military tacticians but by business leaders, planners, traders, politicians, and even sports coaches. Here, Sun Tzu’s lessons are applied to how to play a winning game of chess. • Securing victory for your king, vanquishing your opponents, and slaughtering their pawns; keeping your cool under the pressure of battle, defending your territory, sacrificing your pieces … in several respects, chess game plans are similar to military operations. • Author and chess teacher Al Lawrence has teamed up with International Grandmaster Elshan Moradiabadi to deliver 50 fascinating lessons that draw on scenarios from classic chess games, and prove that playing by Sun Tzu’s philosophies will make you a dangerous opponent and a winning player.

GUITAR PLAYER’S BOOK OF SCALES For rock, blues, jazz, fusion, metal, country, and beyond!

• Jesus did not ask for perfection from his followers, but he did ask them to hear his sayings and try to live by them. He preached sermons and told stories that were to guide his followers on how to live, how to worship, and how to enter the Kingdom of God.

• Without scales, there would be no harmony, no melody—and no guitar solos. So whether you just want to be able to sit in on the occasional jam session, or be the next virtuoso guitar player, you need to know your scales. And this book will show you how.

• This book brings together 100 of the sermons and stories of Jesus and shows how they can guide us throughout our own lives. For the words that Jesus spoke still impact the world in which we live 2,000 years after they were spoken. Illustrated with art by some of the world’s greatest painters, this is a book to treasure for many years to come.

• Learn all the essential scale types in every key by reading the clear, easy-to-understand fingering diagrams and by listening to them on the accompanying CD, which also contains backing tracks that will allow you to practice, improvise, and write melodies using scales.
