R279
About
Drawn from 3,000 years of the history of power, this is the definitive guide to help readers achieve for themselves what Queen Elizabeth I, Henry Kissinger, Louis XIV and Machiavelli learnt the hard way.
- Law 1: Never outshine the master
- Law 2: Never put too much trust in friends; learn how to use enemies
- Law 3: Conceal your intentions
- Law 4: Always say less than necessary
The text is bold and elegant, laid out in black and red throughout and replete with fables and unique word sculptures. The 48 laws are illustrated through the tactics, triumphs and failures of great figures from the past who have wielded - or been victimised by - power.

Suit up!
Whether or not you're a big fan of superhero movies, you kind of have to admit that, while they look cool and seem to make sense in the cartoons, those suits they wear certainly seem a little over the top. Bruce Wayne must surely get hot under that mask with its little ears? And despite all of his powers, Clark Kent must get just as annoyed as the rest of us when that massive cape gets caught on the door handle?
We can't really answer those questions, since these characters don't actually exist, weird fashion or not. You know what does exist, though? The kind of suit that does make a lot of sense: these ladies sleeveless swimsuits from Sun Scribe!
