German company Resopal have been pioneers in the manufacture and design of plastic laminates since their invention in the early twentieth century. Like Formica in the U.S., the brand name Resopal is practically synonymous with the entire field of laminates in Germany.

This study of the material investigates the history of Resopal from its invention (it was trademarked in 1930) up through more recent innovations in plastic surface finishing. Almost a century after its conception, Resopal continues to offer almost unlimited possibilities for savvy designers - an endless diversity of tactile-aesthetic surfaces usable in almost any context.

Really interesting books at sensible prices.

Really interesting books. I have been collecting art books for many years and I now have quite a few from Books About Art. Sensible prices and the opportunity to support a local (to me) independent book shop instead of Amazon

Revealing read about Adge – a true legend!

I thought I already knew a great deal about Adge Cutler, but Adge – King of the Wurzels proved me wrong in the best possible way. Packed with fresh stories, fascinating insights, and meticulous detail, it sheds new light on the man behind the music. The writing is engaging and highly readable—I repeatedly found myself reading far longer than I had intended.
Entertaining, informative, and genuinely difficult to put down, this is a must-read for any Wurzels fan. Although I'm Welsh rather than West Country, Adge's appeal reaches far beyond Somerset. His talent, character, and legacy transcend regional boundaries, and this book captures them brilliantly.

A favourite artist so it was a pleasure to see such good reproductions and the working drawings

A favourite artist so it was a pleasure to see such good reproductions and the working drawings leading up to the final painting. The individual essays were interesting and free of jargon
