A beloved icon who put the 'haute' in 'couture' and found success as an actress, a mother and a humanitarian, Audrey Hepburn was an expert in the art of being a woman. The waifish star and muse of Givenchy was quite the sage as well, turning out insightful quotes on topics of concern to women the world over: careers, love lives, motherhood, relationships and ageing gracefully, among others. Writer Melissa Hellstern has spent five years collecting some of the late icon's most remarkable words in this beautifully designed and produced book filled with rare photos, behind-the-scenes stories and insights from the friends who knew Hepburn well. Enduring the challenges of womanhood – miscarriages, divorce and the balancing act of career and family – Audrey Hepburn exuded dignity and humility through her successes and failures, and women of all ages will find inspiration among these pages. More philosophy than biography, 'How to be Lovely' revisits the many interviews Audrey gave over the years, allowing us to hear her voice directly. 'How to be Lovely' uncovers the real Audrey, in her own words. Audrey Hepburn perfected the art of gracious living and is an enduring, relevant and inspiring role model for women today. She found her way into the hearts of millions who grew up wanting to be just like her.

Voted the Number One movie on the American Film Institute's List of 100 Funniest Movies, «Some Like It Hot» remains an undisguised movie classic, 50 years after its debut. Billy Wilder's hilarious film skilfully blends several American preoccupations — jazz, gangsters, drag, and Marilyn Monroe — into one scintillating bootleg cocktail. «The Some Like It Hot Companion» details the complete history of the comedy, from its roots as a 1951 German comedy to its Hollywood conception, where the superb Jack Lemmon, Tony Curtis, and Marilyn Monroe transposed the material to the Roaring Twenties. Included are drafts from the screenplay, casting trivia (the boys were almost Frank Sinatra and Danny Kaye), the background history of the St. Valentine's Day Massacre and Prohibition-era Chicago, on-set production gossip, location shots from the fabled Hotel Coronado in San Diego (doubling for Miami), lyrics from the jazz-era songs in the film, the Broadway and West End musical versions (one of which starred Tony Curtis), and the on-going legacy of the most hilarious cross-gender film in history. As the movie concludes, 'Nobody's perfect!' but this companion to the beloved film will be the perfect addition to the library of anyone who loves comedy, jazz, American film — or Marilyn Monroe.

Sophia Loren is seen as one of the first cinematic sex symbols, her charisma and voluptuous figure attracted many admirers. Yet her life away from the cameras may surprise some — she was married to Carlo Ponti, film producer, throughout her career and until his recent death. She also struggled to become a mother and considered her two children her greatest accomplishment. Loren came from impoverished roots, yet she was possibly the greatest Italian actress of her time. Her many films included Houseboat, Two Women (for which she won the Academy award), The Fall of the Roman Empire and The Millionairess. She also loved to sing, adding to her sex appeal with her seductive voice. Sophia Loren: A Life in Pictures illustrates the variety and contrasts in Loren's private and public persona, with wonderful pictures and an incisive biography. It features a sumptuous collection of images of Hollywood's great sex symbol. It includes many rare pictures from Loren's personal and public life. It is a lavish addition to the Life in Pictures series.

The clothes worn by our ancestors afford an unparalleled insight into lifestyles that have disappeared forever. Choice of dress has always been governed by a series of influences — social and economic, artistic and technical — and, of course, the vagaries of individual taste. Jane Ashelford has used the National Trust's stunning costume and textile collections as well as its historic house portraits, family correspondence, diaries and household papers to produce a fascinating account of the history of dress over the past four centuries.

It perhaps seems impossible that any images of the Beatles remain unseen, but this fascinating book accompanied by a DVD of rare 8mm footage provides a whole new insight into the Beatles, in pictures. The over 200 images include several early photos of The Quarrymen — when John first met Paul; the filming of A Hard Day's Night at Paddington; the Beatles in the Bahamas in 1965 filming Help; John and Yoko at home; and Paul on holiday in Frank Sinatra's Learjet — plus many more! Encapsulating the culture, music and spirit of the 60s, this unique book brings us closer to one of the world's all-time favourite bands and is sure to delight any fan. While it could be said the pictures 'speak for themselves', interviews with many of the photographers give us an extraordinary insight into the background of each shot, while extended captions give further behind-the-scenes information to complete this fascinating package.

This unique book is a fully illustrated biography of a very modern, some would say unprecedented, British royal romance between the man who will, one day, be king and a beautiful, middle-class English girl. It is also the story of a love that will, arguably, help shape the future of the monarchy as a 21st century institution.In a series of over 200 outstanding pictures — many of which are entirely exclusive — brought together here for the first time, Robin Nunn the UK's leading royal photographer examines the intertwined lives of Prince William, second in line to the throne and grandson of Her Majesty the Queen, and Catherine 'Kate' Elizabeth Middleton, daughter of self-made millionaires.From their first meeting at St Andrews University to the extraordinary moment at William's passing out parade at Sandhurst, when Kate became a global figure of fascination and speculation in her own right, the book offers a comprehensive, insightful look at what might be a defining relationship that helps secure the British Monarchy for the next generation.Public interest in Kate has never been greater, and with the prospect of the most important Royal marriage in a generation increasingly likely, this book provides the perfect opportunity to find out more about the young, beautiful woman who seems to have captured the heart of the country's most eligible man. It features many entirely exclusive images from a top royal photographer. It is highly likely that the marriage will be announced early in 2009. The text is from an authoritative royal correspondent.

Holly Golightly was undoubtedly the role that made Audrey Hepburn a movie icon. Dressed by Hubert de Givenchy and holding the infamous cigarette holder, she played her most memorable part in Breakfast at Adapted from the Truman Capote novella of the same name, the inspired cast took the screenplay and fashioned it into the touching comedy of a young woman finding her way in the world. 2011 is the 50th anniversary of the release of Breakfast at Tiffany's and this lavish book pays tribute to its ongoing popularity. The only official companion to be published in association with Paramount Pictures and the Audrey Hepburn estate, it includes favourite images from the film as well as unpublished behind the scenes footage from the Paramount archives, stories from the set, and a history of the screenplay since the hugely popular film. A celebration of a timeless classic, this is the perfect book for any fan of Hepburn or 1960s filmmaking.

Still going strong after 40 years, The Rolling Stones have proved themselves to be the ultimate rock band.

From the very first studio photos of the band taken for Mirabelle magazine to pictures of Mick jumping on a piano at the Isle of Man anniversary in 1965, these images provide a compelling new look at some of our most familiar rock faces. Interviews with many of the photographers responsible for the images and additional background from the author complete this must-have record of The Stones in action.
