The Badger is back! Set three weeks after the finale of Grandville, Grandville Mon Amour pits Detective Inspector Archie LeBrock of Scotland Yard against an old adversary and ruthless urban guerrilla, Edward ‘Mad Dog’ Mastock, – a psychotic serial killer whose shocking escape from his execution by guillotine at the Tower of London begins this fast-paced, Hitchcockian steampunk thriller. LeBrock, still racked by remorse for his failure to prevent the death of ‘the Divine Sarah’ and working outside the law after resigning his post following a blazing row with his superior officer, embarks on a quest to redeem himself by tracking down Mastock and bringing to an end his horrific murder spree. Aided by his adjunct and old friend, Detective Roderick Ratzi, he follows the trail of carnage to Paris. Otherwise known as Grandville, it’s the largest city in a world dominated by France, a city used to violence following the years of terrorist bombings by the extreme fanatic wing of the British resistance during the occupation, the notorious Angry Brigade, of which Mastock was the sadistic leading light.With his customary tenacity, LeBrock stalks his prey through a world populated by anthropomorphic animals, an underclass of humans and automaton robots where advanced steam technology powers everything from hansom cabs to iron flying machines. It’s a trail that leads to the demimonde of Parisian prostitution and an atrocity perpetrated twenty-three years ago. With a range of new and fascinating characters and a mix of Holmesian deduction, knowing humour and edge of the seat action, Grandville Mon Amour continues the vein of high-octane adventure begun in the first volume. Can even LeBrock escape the past or do heroes have feet of clay? Follow the badger!

Fed up of carting wooden cricket wickets around with you all summer long? Well leave them at home and get yourself a Cricket Wicket Stick-it. Simply slap it onto any wall or appropriate surface (best avoid the ceiling unless Extreme Cricket is your game of choice) and you’re ready to go! It’s supposed to be primarily for use on your wheelie bin (in an attempt to make something good out of a potentially rather smelly and cumbersome object) but we reckon it’s just as good for garage doors or the wall of your house. The outdoor wall obviously. If you’re canny about it and stick it up with blu-tack you won’t have to commit tot having it one place either. Wherever you stick this wicket you’ll be ready to play cricket.

In a world obsessed with ‘reality’ programming, the collaborative public art project known as “Learning To Love You More” offers a refreshing take on how people think, act and love. Created by Miranda July and Harrell Fletcher, the web-based project, begun in 2002, offers more than sixty ‘assignments’ that can be completed by anyone: ‘Write the phone conversation you wish you could have’ ‘Draw a constellation from someone’s freckles’ ‘Take a flash photo under your bed.’ Completed assignments are posted on the web site; to date, more than 5,000 people have participated – artists and non-artists of all ages, from Tokyo to Tel Aviv. July and Fletcher have curated a selection of the most memorable submissions – some moving, others hilarious and oddly brilliant, to create a pop culture collage that tells a larger story about life today. The result is an engaging, heartwarming, idea sparking book sure to inspire, teach, and entertain. Her film “Me And You And Everyone We Know” (Film Four) was a cult hit in 2005 – it won 15 Awards including the Golden Camera at Cannes and the Special Jury Prize for Originality of Vision at the Sundance film festival.
