Take: one supermodel, Pandora; a Bedouin Sheikh, Faisal; a flash but fashionable editorial team slowly freaking behind their dark Gucci sun glasses; stir them together in a bowl of oily Russian mafia intrigue; cook slowly under the Syrian desert sun for a fortnight; scatter with emeralds, and serve. Result: an explosive combination. But is is the sand in her slingbacks that casues Pandora to panic? Or will the fireworks between the Sheikh and the showgirl force them to face up to their demons and fight their way to freedom and a new way of life?
You know that feeling when something is so great that you can hardly believe it's happening to you? And you know when something so CRAZY is happening, you can't quite believe how you got yourself in to that situation? Sofia simply has to record her life - to prove that it was all actually happening!

This collection profiles understudied figures in the book and print trades of the seventeenth century. With an equal balance between women and men, it intervenes in the history of the trades, emphasising the broad range of material, cultural, and ideological work these people undertook. It offers a biographical introduction to each figure, placing them in their social, professional, and institutional settings. The collection considers varied print trade roles including that of the printer, publisher, paper-maker, and bookseller, as well as several specific trade networks and numerous textual forms. The biographies draw on extensive new archival research, with details of key sources for further study on each figure. Chronologically organised, this Element offers a primer both on numerous individual figures, and on the tribulations and innovations of the print trade in the century of revolution.
