On the south coast of England sits the little town of Horse-sur-mer. Settled by Huguenots fleeing France before expulsionor worseit seems to attract the strangest people. People like Roddy Lewis, who talks to dead Huguenots; Laura Tregarthan, a vicar who cant quite stick to Anglicanism; and Police Sergeant Eileen Sturgeon, whos not quite sure whats going onbut shes going to fight to protect everyones right to be as weird as they want. But not everyone loves Horse-sur-mer and its unusual ways, and the mysterious stranger with the Jesuit Hat who comes to stay causes problems for the town. Two unexpected deaths bring Gwyneth Gladwell and Gladys Grinski from Llanprytherch to help the Horsefolk and their Celtic cats sort out exactly whats going on and how to fight it. And then there is the dog who can predict the weather, but youll have to read to find out about himor is it her?

Growing up in California, Dennis Severs fell in love with the England he saw in old black and white movies. At seventeen he came to London, looking for a home with a heart. In 1979 he found one, a run-down silk-weaver's house in Spitalfields, and over the next twenty years he transformed it into an enchanted time-capsule, transporting us back to the eighteenth century. From cellar to roof, he filled 18 Folgate Street with original objects and furniture, found in the local markets, lit by candles and chandeliers. More than that, he invented a family to live here, the Jervis family, Huguenot weavers who fled persecution in France in 1688, and bought the house in 1724. Sounds and scents bring their world to life, always just out of sight - floorboards creak, fires crackle, a kettle hisses on the hob. Visitors step through the frame of time, like entering an old master painting. As we move from room to room on a tour you will never forget, we follow the Jervis story from the days of the Georges and the Regency to harsher Victorian times - and even to the attic room of Scrooge himself.

Computers have changed typography and prepress as well as printing. Typefaces are manufactured by "digital punch cutters" with a PC, not any more by punch cutters. Typefaces are constructed an output by a new technolgy, the so-called fonttechnology. The book by Peter Karow covers the whole area of it. It offers various chapters about (among others) issues like intelligent font scaling, kerning, quality of type, legibility, and problems of different output devices. It is interesting to read about Gutenberg setting, the font market, optical scaling, and last but not least a "hand on" Kanjhi, the Chinese/Japanese Glyphs. Furthermore, Fonttechnology contains a number of valuable and instructive appendices. Almost everything one has to know about type and computers!
