Welcome to this book featuring 50 brand-new hanjie puzzles. Puzzle grids vary in size from 20 x 25 up to 35 x 35. All puzzles reveal a black-and-white picture, and there is a clue at the top of each grid as to what you will reveal once you have completed the puzzle. The solutions to all fifty of the hanjie puzzles are included at the back of the book so you can check whether you are correct, or if you get stuck have a quick peek for a helpful hint. All hanjie puzzles in this book can be solved with logic alone - you will never need to guess your way to a solution. You will simply need to consider each of the rows and columns in turn, working out which squares must be shaded, or which squares cannot be shaded. Gradually you will then start to reduce the options for other rows and columns, and in this way be able to work your way logically to the single solution for each of the hanjie puzzles in this book. Difficulty-wise, the hanjie puzzles in this book are easy-medium level, depending on how much experience you have of solving hanjies: experts may find them fairly easy, for those with a little solving experience but who do not consider themselves experts we would expect to find most of these puzzles of medium diffficulty level. However it is always hard to anticipate how easy or hard any given solver will find hanjie puzzles. Whatever your hanjie-solving expertise, we hope you enjoy solving the puzzles in this brand-new collection!

Celebrating Dior's floral inspirations in fashion and perfume, this unique volume features a portfolio of rose portraits by acclaimed fashion photographer Nick Knight. For Christian Dior, perfume was "a door opening into a hidden world." His first, Miss Dior, inspired by the lush gardens of his childhood home in Normandy, forged an inextricable link between his fashion and fragrance creations. Other scents were inspired by evenings in southern France, lit with fireflies and scented with jasmine. The rose bowers of his family home in Granville; his old mill country house; and the Château de la Colle Noire near Grasse--where jasmine, tuberose, and May roses reign supreme and are still cultivated--inspired Dior's most memorable creations. Flowers were also at the heart of Dior's fashion, from the women-flowers that inspired the late 1940s New Look to the swishing, blossom-like ball gowns embroidered with lavish floral motifs. They have inspired all of the designers who followed him at the House of Dior, from Yves Saint Laurent to John Galliano, and Raf Simons to Maria Grazia Chiuri. This extraordinary volume blooms with color and inspiration, and includes rose portraits by Nick Knight, previously unpublished archival documents, exquisite details of embroidery and fabrics, perfumes, fashion sketches, and sublime fashion photographs.
