This book is laden with classy baked goods that can also get you baked.
Because everyone loves sugar, and (nearly) everyone loves cannabis.
This beautifully photographed cookbook celebrates a royal High Tea – where all the
delightful snacks are laden with cannabis. Because, now that, around the world, the
legal and regulated consumption of cannabis is steadily increasing, more and more of
us are using weed when we bake. Gobbling down cannabis gives you a different high
than smoking it, plus it’s fun and easy to bake with, and the therapeutic benefits are
much more effective. So, it’s time to get this book and make a classy High Tea worthy
of the Royals (but load it with space cakes, tarts and sweet treats).
Just some of the recipes included in this book are: Blueberry Meringues, Lemon Haze
Cakes, Date Pecan Tarts, Sweet Leaf Shortbread, and weed-spiked Battenburg Cakes.
This book also explains the basics to making herb butters, oils, and other essential
cannabinoid baking bases. Best of all, the mild-melting component of each of these
desserts can be cranked up, dialed down or removed completely – depending on your
personal preference.

Making thirst-quenchingly healthy kombucha, kefir and natural sparkling
sodas at home is easier than you think – and this book breaks it down.
These days, many of us are making better informed choices about what we eat and
drink – and we’re given much more choice than in years gone by. The drinks section in
supermarkets and corner stores are now laden with healthier options compared to the
commercial, sugar-filled sodas of days gone by.
Today, you’ll find a whole range of naturally low-sugar, fermented alternatives such as
kombucha, switchel and kefir – all healthy, gut-friendly drink options. These thirst-
quenchers might seem too complicated to consider making yourself – but, in fact,
fermented drinks are much easier to create at home than you might think.
This book contains 40 easy-to-create drinks that will not only save you money, but will
make you feel great too! Recipes in the book include kefir, kombucha, grapefruit soda,
cider, switchel and mead. You’ll be a (mocktail) mixologist in no time!

Trouble negotiating the modern world – with all these new fangled words
and phrases so beloved of Gen Z and Millennials? This book is here to help.
This handy dictionary hilariously captures the state of the English language in the year
2020. The internet – and more specifically, social media – can make new and
confusing words spread like wildfire. So it’s easy to feel like sometimes you get left
behind in the linguistic dust. For example: do you know your ‘lit fam’ from your ‘fam’s
lit’, your ‘FOMO’ from your ‘JOMO’? How about ‘bae’ or ‘doe’? Look, we totally get it
– communicating in the modern world is hard. So with more than 600 entries, each
replete with sassy definitions, let this book be your definitive guide to the modern
English language.
Featuring fun screenshot- and messenger-style design, this updated and expanded
edition of the original 2017 A Very Modern Dictionary finds itself at the very forefront
of modern parlance. No longer will you need to ask the closest teenager to translate
that meme sailing right over your head – this book is your passport to the new world
of semantics.

White noise machines and chamomile teas begone! Let this photographic
compilation of cute animals napping in nature lull you peacefully to sleep.
As suggested by its title, this ridiculous book is a sleeping aide which harnesses the
relaxing power of cute animals. Well, wait – haven’t you heard? The secret to a happy
and fulfilled life is to just get eight hours sleep per night. Except there’s one big catch:
getting a good sleep is borderline impossible in our current snoozing climate. We’ve
got smartphones forever by our bedside – complete with the blue light temptation of
scrolling through social media till sunrise. There’s only one solution: turn off the phone,
and flick instead through this therapeutic book of snoozy animals. They will coo you
into sleepy submission.
As its title subtly suggests, this book is literally just pictures of snoozing animals. Some
of the lil sleepy sweeties featured include: resting raccoons, cats having a cat nap,
napping numbats, siesta-ing seals, drowsy dingos, slumbering sloths, and zebras
catching some much-need Zs. Toward these furry angels we must turn, in these dire
times of sleeplessness, to get a good night sleep of our own.
This book is the follow-up-of-sorts to the hugely successful, and totally adorable,
This Book Is Literally Just Pictures of Cute Animals That Will Make You Feel Better.

This book was lovingly collated by the editorial staff at Smith Street Books, who

This doting book is a beautifully illustrated celebration of the world’s most
beautiful boy – the one and only Timothée Chalamet.
This book is a chic love letter to the shaggy-haired, angelically cheekboned,
heartthrob: Timothée Chalamet. Author Billie Oliver is justly obsessed with TC, and she
admits this book might be a little creepy, but if it results in Timothée reaching out and
her getting his number, well, that’s certainly worth a little creeping.
The world has fallen in love with Timothée Chalamet, thanks largely to his skillful
performances in films like Lady Bird, Call Me By Your Name and Beautiful Boy. But it isn’t
just Timothée’s acting chops that have won him the world’s – particularly, the Twitter
and Instagram world’s – devotion ... Clearly, the aforementioned cheek bones go a
long way, as does his floppy hair and dreamy green eyes. But, do you know he speaks
French? That he takes red carpet selfies with Glenn Close? Or that he takes
consistently bold risks on every red carpet, fashion-wise? (We all remember the Louis
Vitton sequined harness.) That he’s happy to talk about that time he cried watching
Interstellar for the first time because he thought his role was bigger? And that he
brought his sister as his date to the Golden Globes Awards?
There are so many reasons to be crushing on Timothée Chalamet right now, so let us
indulge the Chalamania and count just 50 of the things we adore about him most. And
Timothée, if you’re reading this – call me.

Leslie Knope, Ron Swanson, and the whole gang at Pawnee’s favourite
municipal department are here to put your life back in order.
This illustrated book is a celebration of everyone’s favorite municipal mockumentary
TV series, Parks and Recreation. Throughout its seven-season run, Parks and Recreation
was nominated for a staggering 14 Emmy Awards, and after its third season in 2012
was named by TIME magazine as the best TV show of the year. Although its final
season aired five years ago, Parks and Recreation still gives us the same warm fuzzies
(and full knee-slapping laughs) as when we saw it first.
In this book, a loving homage to Parks and Recreation, you’ll find plenty of interactive
activities like: The ‘Which Pawnee Municipal Department Do You Belong To?’ Quiz;
Leslie Knope’s Perfect Waffle Recipe; The Burt Macklin FBI (Probably Official) Training
Manual; and Donna Meagle’s Tips for Mercedes Upholstery Maintenance. This book is
also laden with trivia-tastic breakdowns of each season, and Parks and Recreation’s
myriad recurring guest characters (including Tammy 1, 2 and/or 3).

the Vampire Slayer, which is still recognised now – nearly two decades after the end of

        The vast Mediterranean Sea stretches from the Spanish and
          North African shores in the west through to Lebanon in
        the east. The many countries it touches – and those islands
         within its waters – have changed radically over millennia,
        but what remains is a rich, diverse and shared food culture
                     that brings this region together.
