A reissue of a cult design book about Nova, the groundbreaking British magazine of the 60s and 70s, with a new introduction.

Nova 1965–1975 celebrates one of the most influential magazines in history. Known as ‘the thinking woman’s magazine’ Nova was a British publication that set itself apart from its contemporaries by creating a magazine that was not just about fashion but was also politically, socially and sexually aware. The magazine covered issues that were controversial at the time, such as abortion, racism, gay rights and The Pill, and featured writers such as Susan Sontag, Harold Pinter, Elizabeth David, Prue Leith, William Trevor, Christopher Booker and Graham Greene. 

The book is compiled by David Hillman and Harri Peccinotti, who worked as Art Directors on the magazine. The design and layout of the magazine were as groundbreaking as the content, and borrowed ideas from the psychedelic subculture and underground press of the day. Nova was one of the first magazines to include black models in their photoshoots, and regular photographers for the magazine included Helmut Newton, Guy Bourdin, Terence Donovan, Don McCullin, Bob Richards and Diane Arbus.

The book selects the best covers and articles from the magazine’s decade-long output and looks at them in detail, featuring many of the iconic magazine covers.

ABOUT THE Author

David Hillman is one of Britain’s leading graphic designers, responsible for the iconic redesign of The Guardian in the 1980s and of Phaidon’s identity, among many others. He has been awarded two prestigious gold and 16 silver awards from D&AD. He is a Royal Designer for Industry and Senior Fellow of the Royal College of Art. Hillman joined Nova as Art Director in 1968 and became Deputy Editor in 1970, leading the way in the magazine’s bold art direction.

Introducing a fresh, updated edition of a Pitkin best-selling guidebook.

Built around Britain’s only natural hot mineral springs, Bath has been a spa town for 2,000 years. The gushing thermal waters, thought to have great healing powers, are said to have originated as rainwater which fell on the Mendip Hills. The water rises from a depth of 3,000 metres (10,000ft) at over one million litres (220,000 gallons) a day and remains at a constant temperature of 46°C, reaching the surface in three places in the city centre. Designated a World Heritage Site, Bath, steeped in Roman and Georgian history, is a favoured destination for visitors worldwide.

ABOUT THE Author

Max Riddington is a journalist and author. She has written three books on the royal family and race horsing with Gavan Naden, as well as In and Around Bath, a guide to the city.

The Archbishops of Canterbury

A Tale of Church and State

John Butler

Pitkin

Format:

Paperback ISBN: 9781841657905

Paperback publication date: 1 March 2018

Category:

Paperback price:

£ 12.99

The office of Archbishop of Canterbury is the oldest continuous institution in Britain – older than the English crown and much older than Parliament. For over fourteen hundred years, from Augustine in the 6th century to Justin Welby in the 21st, successive Archbishops have been caught up in the transformation of the country from a collection of feudal Saxon kingdoms ruled by warrior kings to a modern industrial state with a democratic parliament and an established Church – as well as the longest reigning sovereign.

Some Archbishops have managed the tension between their responsibility to lead the Church and proclaim the gospel and their obligation to serve the interests of the state and its rulers. Others have lost their lives – three executed by the state, while two have met violent deaths at the hands of lawless mobs.

This new Pitkin captures the story of their faith and power, wisdom and folly and explores how high principle is matched at times by craven self-interest.
