Free: Home and crafts/DIY book (Edinburgh EH17) KIRSTIE'S HOMEMADE HOME The art of home and crafts, room by room. by Kirstie Allsopp (2010) ''Home is about a journey the author made into a world which she thought she knew, but didn't. It's a world full of dedicated and talented people in England who make beautiful things, both traditional and modern that support the wonderful crafting heritage they have in the UK. If, like her, you have ever been caught at a yard sale or antiques market and couldn't keep control of your purse, or if you're curious and want to have a rummage for the first time, then this book is for you. It's Kirstie's experience of a world which is as vast and varied as you can possibly imagine. It's about women and men who are ensuring that handmade British things are here to stay. And it's packed with their expert advice on creating your own homemade home. If you enjoyed the TV series, then the book takes it one step further with her advice on interior décor, plus the shops and websites that have transformed her life. If you didn't see the show, then welcome to her world. It's a book for mothers and daughters, and trust me, sons. If you're looking for a new hobby, there is nothing more manly than blacksmithing or glassblowing, and few projects more satisfying than flower arranging or mini cake decoration. Or if you just want a moment to yourself and something lovely to look at'' Hardcover, lots of beautiful colour photos + crafts/DIY directory, 220 pages, mainly comfort print with some large print pages and some smaller size fonts Looking for a good, useful new home :) Flexible collection times (but Thursday afternoons cannot do before 5.30pm).

Free: book: George Mikes-How to Be A Brit (Edinburgh EH17) HOW TO BE A BRIT by George Mikes (1984) ''George Mikes has written many successful books on a variety of interesting subjects, but one so successful as those on the subject most central to his own experience: his adopted country. The first of these came out in 1946: the ever famous 'How to be an Alien'. Later he enlarges the picture with 'How to Be Inimitable' and 'How to be Decadent'. All three books were illustrated by the master of the cartoonists’ art, the late Nicolas Bentley. Here they are, all in one volume, which will make life much easier for today's would-be Brits than it was for those who pervaded them. It is said that a few of the latter actually failed to become indistinguishable from the genuine British article because they found it too tiresome to seek out three separate books: a misfortune that need never again occur to anyone.''

Free: Fife selected poems book(First Tow) (Edinburgh EH17) 'FIRST TOW' A selection of poems from Fife. Compiled and edited by Lillian King and Valerie King (Lochgelly, 1996) ''Poetry allows you to contemplate the beauty of creation or shout down a king or president. What is considered to be the best poetry goes in and out of fashion as the eras of civilisation pass. The genuines - the Wordsworths, Shakespeares and Eliots, exist as the apex of a waste pyramid of people, ordinary folk, writing for whatever reason to express their humanity. This collection of seventy poems was chosen from over seven hundred submissions for the annual Lochgelly Centre Poetry Exhibitions. The poets included all live in Fife or hail from Fife.'' - Willie Hershaw Paperback, 74 pages, comfort print and large print but for some reason fonts are in cursive.

It has been compiled specifically to support chaplains who work in interfaith and intercultural settings.

This collection was compiled by Chaplain Matt Sanders, who currently serves as a staff chaplain at Mercy San Juan Medical Center in Carmichael, California.'' Paperback, 166 pages, regular and small print font sizes. 2) FOREST CHURCH by Bruce Stanley (2016) ''Many people can describe transcendent moments in nature where they feel deeply connected to something bigger than themselves, and Forest Church is a way to explore that connection within community, a fresh expression of church drawing on much older traditions when sacred places and practices were outside—but it also draws on contemporary research that highlights the benefits of spending time with nature in wild places. Throughout the ages people have walked this path within the Christ tradition and have found a meaningful expression of their spirituality, finding inspiration and structure through the rhythms of the seasons, the characteristics of plants and animals, and the sacredness of place—along with the wisdom of the scriptures and the pattern of prayers. The Forest Church movement begun by Bruce Stanley is gaining momentum in the UK, and has now been brought to the United States. This book will be a resource to anyone facilitating Forest Church, whether as a self-contained group, a retreat, a group holiday, or as an occasional event attached to an existing church. It will also inspire individuals wanting to explore their own sacred nature connections.'' 168 pages, paperback, regular to smaller print.
