The London Tube Map is probably the most iconic schematic* map ever drawn. Despite being topographically inaccurate this lifeline to understanding how to go where in London has become a classic work of art. Nowhere has it been better represented than in this achingly cool wall mirror from those award wining London designers at Suck U.K. The London Underground map was the brain child of Harry Beck (a London Transport employee in 1931) who realised that drawing an accurate map of the tube system would just confuse the heck out of us all. His graphic schematic (which rhymes so beautifully) has become famous the world over and been copied again and again for other underground systems all over the planet. This sizeable 75cm long mirror comes with steel wall brackets and screws for mounting and is quite possibly the most chic hall or wall mirror in circulation. *Schematic means it’s a representational diagram as opposed to a topographical map (i.e. it’s shape bears no relation to reality). Solid glass mirror with gold-coloured depiction of the London Underground Map. The designer’s clever screen printing process creates the illusion that the mirror itself is etched with the map. All zones featured on the Tube Map. Steel brackets and screws for wall mounting are included. Makes a trendy but functional room feature for ‘Londonites’ and Train spotters alike. Size: 75 x 52 x 0.6cm This product is glass so you know the drill… don’t go throwing stuff at it it’s fragile.
Price : £ 74.99

Mark Blake’s history of Pink Floyd – the first for fifteen years – has already been acknowledged as the final word on this remarkable band’s life. Lucidly written, incorporating over a hundred new and exclusive interviews, it covers Pink Floyd from their Cambridge beginnings in the early sixties to their triumphant re-formation at Live 8 in 2005 24 years after their last live performance together and the death of their troubled founder-member Syd Barrett a year later. Pink Floyd’s albums like Dark Side of the Moon remain some of rock’s biggest sellers of all every year on CD; Both David Gilmour and Roger Waters continue to do arena and stadium gigs, and the market for this book will exist for many years. In hardback it has reprinted four times already. Aurum’s earlier book about the Clash by Blake’s Mojo stablemate Pat Gilbert, Passion is a Fashion, has so far sold over 22,000 in paperback – and the Floyd cult is far larger. Everyone has commented on the superb “flying pig” cover art and the spine treatment visible right across the bookshop: both are retained for this paperback edition.Mark Blake is a contributing editor at Mojo and Q magazines, and the editor of books on Punk and Bob Dylan. He is currently editing The Wit & Wisdom of Keith Richards for Aurum. He lives in Croydon.
