BL Publishing brings out some absolutely scorching books. This I think will be one of them. Perfume history and lore, bring it on.
Perfume is more than a scent, it’s luxury, art, identity and memory. In The Philosophy of Perfume, fragrance writer Alice du Parcq explores perfume’s history, muses, psychology, rare ingredients, iconic bottles and the art of finding your perfect scent. Out now.
A haunted taxi full of deadly secrets. When Dr Hugh Westlake meets Norma Hale, she claims a yellow NYC cab is stalking her, the same cab that drove two friends to their deaths. Then bodies start piling up. Can Westlake stop a killer before it's too late? Call a Hearse is out now
FRANKFURT BOOKFAIR BABY!!!
