A Quirky Guide To The Monocle Book Series

Description

The Monocle Guide to Drinking & Dining is for anybody who enjoys food but can do without the foam, fuss and trickery it’s often served with. It’s more than just food that makes a great meal though: we also offer tips on how to host, where to source the best produce and how to handle the sharpest kitchen kit. Alongside reports on the freshest markets, shops and producers, we’ve been everywhere from Adelaide to Zürich to put together our rundown of the world’s must-visit restaurants. Eating and drinking well should be a daily ritual and our guide offers tips to get the most out of it, whether you’re just nipping out for a bite or entertaining guests. Hungry for more? Do tuck in.

Our 340-page guide features original photography and illustrations printed on a selection of great papers and bound with a linen cover. Published by Gestalten. Gestalten is a Berlin-based publisher and produces high-quality editions in an environmentally friendly and resource-efficient manner.

The Monocle Guide to Good Business is a book for would-be business leaders, start-ups and established companies that feel it’s time for some new ideas. It’s a book to be used – write in the margins and turn over the corners of the pages.

But don’t expect management speak, nor miracles for untold riches. It’s not a book about staging a revolution. It’s a book about doing things well (from how you run the show to the pens you buy). And even taking your dog to work.

The 300-page book features original photography and illustrations printed on a selection of the highest-quality papers; it’s a handbook for those who want to make a company that will last.

The Monocle Guide to Good Business is the ultimate reference for doing a job you love. Also available in a limited deluxe edition. Published by Gestalten. Gestalten is a Berlin-based publisher and produces high-quality editions in an environmentally friendly and resource-efficient manner.

How do we make better cities – places that work for people of all ages and backgrounds? How do we make cities that provide the obvious essentials – great transport, good places to work – as well as the softer elements that truly deliver quality of life, from urban swimming pools to rooftop clubs? In this joyful new book the magazine’s editors unpack what makes a great city, whether you’re looking for a new place to call home or need help fixing your own.

Discover how you too can have a High Line, create the most covetable housing or turn a dirty river into a summer asset. Packed with great images and intriguing reports, this is a book that takes the urbanism debate away from city hall and explains what’s needed in ways that will inspire us all.

This is a handbook for anyone from holidaymakers to hoteliers. We jump up and down on a few choice beds, check out the start-ups breaking new ground and talk to the CEOs of the best and biggest groups. Don’t expect stuffy five-star finery – our selection errs on the side of the honest, charming, quirky and independent. Through interviews, in-depth reports, essays, insight and opinion, we explore the state of the hospitality industry and make a case for why hotels are resolutely here to stay.

Hi, my name is Jovan, designer from Macedonia and Sweden. I create this site because of my love of all things Monocle related. It started as a design and code excercise which turned out pretty sweet. I wanted to showcase the Monocle books in a different context and try to give the books a more personal design and attention than a regular digital book store would.

I love print, how it feels, smells and transforms throughout the years. I felt inspired by that type of craftsmanship and wanted to create something with my own craft.
