Murder by Matchlight · E. C. R. Lorac (British Library Crime Classics)

London. 1945.  The capital is shrouded in the darkness of the blackout, and mystery abounds in the parks after dusk.  During a stroll through Regent's Park, Bruce Mallaig witnesses two men acting suspiciously around a footbridge. In a matter of moments, one of them has been murdered; Mallaig's view of the assailant but a brief glimpse of a ghastly face in the glow of a struck match. The murderer's noiseless approach and escape seems to defy all logic, and even the victim's identity is quickly thrown into uncertainty. Lorac's shrewd yet personable C.I.D. man MacDonald must set to work once again to unravel this near-impossible mystery.

However, today she is revered as the  forgotten heroine of the study of how DNA works,  and the  “Sylvia Plath of molecular biology”. This moving book features stylish and quirky illustrations and  extra facts at the back , including a  biographical timeline  with historical photos and a detailed profile of the brilliant scientist’s life.

Murder by the Book · Martin Edwards (British Library Crime Classics)

Murder by the Book · Martin Edwards (British Library Crime Classics)

There is no better hiding place for clues—or red herrings—than inside the pages of a book. But in this world of resentful ghost writers, indiscreet playwrights, and unscrupulous book collectors, literary prowess is often a prologue to disaster. Readers should be warned that the most riveting tales often conceal the deadliest of secrets. Featuring much-loved Golden Age detectives Nigel Strangeways, Philip Trent, Detective Chief Inspector Roderick Alleyn, and others, a bookish puzzle threatens an eagerly awaited inheritance; a submission to a publisher recounts a murder that seems increasingly to be a work of nonfiction; an irate novelist puts a grisly end to the source of his writer's block.

A Room of One's Own · Virginia Woolf (Collector's Library)

A Room of One's Own · Virginia Woolf (Collector's Library)

In this extraordinary essay, Virginia Woolf examines the limitations of womanhood in the early twentieth century. With the startling prose and poetic licence of a novelist, she makes a bid for freedom, emphasizing that the lack of an independent income, and the titular ‘room of one’s own’, prevents most women from reaching their full literary potential. As relevant in its insight and indignation today as it was when first delivered in those hallowed lecture theatres,  A Room of One’s Own  remains both a beautiful work of literature and an incisive analysis of women and their place in the world. Part of the Macmillan Collector’s Library; a series of stunning, clothbound, pocket-sized classics with gold foiled edges and ribbon markers. These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover. This edition of  A Room of One's Own  by Virginia Woolf features an afterword by the British art historian Frances Spalding.

Ulysses · James Joyce (Wordsworth Collector's Editions)

Ulysses · James Joyce (Wordsworth Collector's Editions)

Ulysses by James Joyce tells of the diverse events which befall Leopold Bloom and Stephen Dedalus in Dublin on 16 June 1904, during which Bloom's voluptuous wife, Molly, commits adultery. Initially deemed obscene in England and the USA, this richly allusive novel, revolutionary in its Modernistic experimentalism, was hailed as a work of genius by W. B. Yeats, T. S. Eliot and Ernest Hemingway. Scandalously frank, wittily erudite, mercurially eloquent, resourcefully comic and generously humane,  Ulysses  offers the reader a life-changing experience.

Jane Eyre · Charlotte Brontë (Penguin Clothbound Classics)

Jane Eyre · Charlotte Brontë (Penguin Clothbound Classics)

Charlotte Brontë's first published novel,  Jane Eyre  was immediately recognised as a work of genius when it appeared in 1847. Orphaned into the household of her Aunt Reed at Gateshead, subject to the cruel regime at Lowood charity school, Jane Eyre nonetheless emerges unbroken in spirit and integrity. How she takes up the post of governess at Thornfield Hall, meets and loves Mr Rochester and discovers the impediment to their lawful marriage are elements in a story that transcends melodrama to portray a woman's passionate search for a wider and richer life than that traditionally accorded to her sex in Victorian society. Part of Penguin's beautiful hardback Clothbound Classics series, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith, these delectable and collectible editions are bound in high-quality colourful, tactile cloth with foil stamped into the design.

Bowie's Books: The Hundred Literary Heroes Who Changed His Life ·

Three years before he died, David Bowie made a list of the one hundred books that had transformed his life – a list that formed something akin to an autobiography. From  Madame Bovary  to  A Clockwork Orange , the  Iliad  to the  Beano , these were the publications that had fuelled his creativity and shaped who he was. In  Bowie's Books , John O'Connell explores this list in the form of one hundred short essays, each offering a perspective on the man, performer and creator that is Bowie, his work as an artist and the era that he lived in. Brilliantly illustrated throughout and the perfect gift for Bowie fans and book lovers,  Bowie's Books  is much more than a list of books you should read in your lifetime: it is a unique insight into one of the greatest minds of our times, and an indispensable part of the legacy that Bowie left behind.
