<b>Marking the fortieth anniversary of <i>Please</i>, the duo's first album release, <i>Pet Shop Boys Volume</i> presents their entire visual output to date in a contemporary literary format.</b><br/> <br/> Pet Shop Boys - Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe - are the most successful duo in the history of pop music. Three-time Brit Award winners and six-time Grammy nominees, they have sold more than 50 million records worldwide, including No. 1 hits such as 'West End girls', 'It's a sin', and 'Always on my mind', and platinum-selling albums <i>Please</i>, <i>Actually</i>, and <i>Very</i>.<br/> <br/> Uniquely spanning the worlds of music, art, film, theatre, design, and fashion, Pet Shop Boys have forged an identity as unforgettable as their sound. From the seminal graphic design of their record sleeves to their groundbreaking videos and innovative stage shows, they have set the bar for the visual presentation of pop.<br/> <br/> Celebrating the fortieth anniversary of the release of their first album in 1986, <i>Pet Shop Boys Volume</i> is the definitive retrospective of the duo's career. Expanding upon <i>Pet Shop Boys Catalogue</i>, published two decades ago, it presents their entire visual output to date, year by year. Sleeve artworks and packaging, stills from every video, film, and performance, stage sets and costume designs, photoshoots, publications, and even Christmas cards all feature, as does every collaboration with luminaries including Mark Farrow, Wolfgang Tillmans, Martin Parr, Bruce Weber, Sam Taylor-Johnson, Derek Jarman, Scott King, Zaha Hadid, Tom Scutt, and Es Devlin.<br/> <br/> Concise commentaries by Chris Heath and Philip Hoare provide illuminating insights into the genesis of each project. Hoare's original introduction is accompanied by a new introduction from Libby Sellers who considers the importance of Pet Shop Boys within the history of design, while a new foreword by Jeremy Deller reflects on the enduring impact of their music and image.<br/> <br/> With a jacket designed by Farrow and a new conversation between Heath, Tennant, and Lowe, <i>Pet Shop Boys Volume</i> is a visual feast and a sumptuous tribute to four decades of creative innovation.

Praise for Sean Pritchard's first book, <i>Outside In</i>:<br/><br/>'I devoured this sumptuously British step-by-gorgeous-step guide to when to seed, plant and pluck in a single sitting.' - Richard E. Grant<br/><br/>'<i>Outside In: A Year of Growing & Displaying</i> is that rare thing - the most ridiculously beautiful coffee-table book that is also a mine of useful information when it comes to what to grow when for year-round cut flowers. His interiors aren't too shabby, either.' - India Knight<br/><br/>'<i>Outside In</i> is not only stuffed full of practical advice and tips on nurturing a garden and displaying plants and flowers in the home, it is also a thing of romantic beauty. Sean's overflowing, colourful arrangements have put a smile on my face countless times: he has a natural ability to put together flowers, books, fabrics and assorted treasures in a way that feels effortless, charming and deeply personal.' - Luke Edward Hall<br/><br/>'Armed with flower-whisperer Sean A. Prichard's new book, mom can bedeck her home with backyard-blooms year-round-or just luxuriate in the pretty pictures while sipping a nice cuppa.' - <i>Wall Street Journal</i><br/><br/>'Inventive, considered, and thoughtful design.' - <i>House & Garden</i><br/><br/>***<br/><br/><b>Sean Pritchard's hotly anticipated new book, <i>Atmosfloric: Flower colour in home and garden</i> explores how to grow flowers for colour and bring them indoors for visual impact and atmosphere. </b><br/><br/>The garden allows us to play with colour. Unlike the colours in our interiors, colour in the garden is fleeting and fickle, and with that comes an exciting opportunity to experiment with a changing performance of colour month after month and to bring those colours indoors for constantly changing displays.<br/><br/>Colours are considered in three mood-based chapters: Romantic, Energetic and Reflective. For each chapter Sean reveals his favourite flowers to grow (with plant lists and inspirational planting plans) and shows them in a range of inspirational interiors.<br/><br/>As with <i>Outside In</i> the photography is by the author, who has photographed some highly sought-after gardens and interiors in England and France including the iconic Charleston Farmhouse and Kettle's Yard, plus the homes of Richard E Grant, Sam McKnight, Marin Motagut, Butter Wakefield, Isabel and Julian Bannerman and Anthony Watson of Atelier Vime.<br/><br/>Sean also takes a personal look at colour theory and explores the relationship that gardeners and gardener-artists have had with colour through history.
