- MAP TITLES: the grids shown on our website serve both the civilian & the military 1:50, 000 topographic series. Although the areas covered by maps in both series are identical (apart from some border or coastal sheets), occasionally map titles differ – only one title is shown on the grid, usually the military one. In Galicia, the Basque country & in the Catalan speaking areas the tendency now is to use local place names rather than the often better known Castilian ones. Where possible, both versions are included in our titles. Map titles listed on our website are based on information received by us at the time of publication, but sometimes maps arrive showing a completely different title! As long as the map number is as ordered, the correct map has been supplied.

Macao, an archipelago attached to China, is a place whose name is redolent with myth, legend & history. Established by the Portuguese in 1557, Macao`s role as the Portuguese trading base for East Asia, & also as the outpost for the Christian Church in the area, meant that since its very beginning it has been a region where disparate peoples & beliefs have met, mingled & learned to co-exist. Its position, conveniently located on China`s doorstep, ensured that trade flourished; it became a rich warehouse, where more goods were exchanged than anywhere else in the world. It was also a place of debauchery & turpitude, with gambling dives, opium dens, secret pleasure houses & an astonishingly successful smuggling industry. Administered by China since 1999, after two decades of intensive development Macao today has been transformed. From the end of World War ii until the 1980s, however, time seemed to stand still, & the city, preserved for a while from modernity, possessed a unique charm. In this Macao, East & West lived together in harmony: curved Chinese roofs, Corinthian columns & cast-iron balconies could be found side by side; statues of the Virgin were matched by little red shrines dedicated to local divinities; & beautiful Portuguese palaces were allowed to slip into elegant decay. It is this lost Macao, a dormant city of illusion, that Philippe Pons`s evocative text recovers. ...

Macarons are the aristocrats of pastry; these brightly coloured, mini meringues, daintily sandwiched together with gooey fillings, have become a holy grail for cookery fanatics & there are even food blogs dedicated to them. Like Pierre Herme`s famous macarons, it would be difficult for any macaron book to surpass this one & indeed the hardback edition has been a universal bestseller (still in print 978-1-908117-23-6). There are 208 pages of recipes & beautiful food photography, & because making macarons is mostly about technique, rather than just a standard recipe, readers will appreciate the 32-step-by-step photo-illustrated instructions for making shells & fillings. All the classics are here like dark chocolate, praline, coffee, & pistachio, but others feature the more unusual macarons that Herme is justly famous for: Isfahan is one, with lychee, rose & raspberry, Arabesque with apricot & pistachio, Satine with passion fruit, orange & cream cheese, Mandarin & pink pepper, black truffles, balsamic vinegar as well as a bright-green macaron filled with fresh mint. ...
