Coldplay's singer Chris Martin has spent weeks working with an important stylist. They have come up with an exciting look for the band's new tour. From the people who gave you classics such as The Ladybird Book of The Hangover and The Ladybird Book of The Mid-Life Crisis, they bring you this collection of what could have been. Imagine a world where there aren't just the thirty-two Ladybird Books for Grown-Ups you've seen in your local bookshop or downstairs toilet but hundreds and hundreds more . . . T]he original satire on the Ladybird children’s education series was an art project written and illustrated by Miriam and Ezra Elia – We Go to the Gallery – and published under their own imprint, Dung Beetle Books. When the book first appeared in 2014, Penguin erupted in fury and demanded that the entire print run be withdrawn and destroyed. When this didn’t work, they decided it was a case of “if you can’t beat ’em, join ’em”, and published their own comic series under a different creative team. Unlike these subsequent titles, such as The Dad, We Go to the Gallery was genuinely funny – a brilliant spoof on both the Ladybird style of education and the contemporary art world. Anyone disappointed by the official Ladybird parodies and with a glancing interest in contemporary art is advised to get hold of the Elia version, which will have them laughing out loud. I believe the authors are currently preparing a sequel."At a minimum, this book should be on the desk of every chief executive or senior manager of every business in the world. It’s possibly one of the greatest books ever written about business, delving into the complex dynamics of meetings in the workplace, including individual and group psychology, the influence on productivity and how meetings effect the bottom line. Penguin Michael Joseph’s editorial director Rowland White said: "The overwhelming reaction to last year’s brilliant Ladybird Books for Grown-Ups was extraordinary and heart-warming – a real testament to the love and care that Jason and Joel put into writing them. It’s clear, with this new range of titles, that their affection and enthusiasm for Ladybird remains undimmed. We’ll be laughing like drains all over again." It’s quite remarkable how much information is contained in one small book. As well as the above, this book delves into the impact of different meeting spaces, appropriate catering, workplace diversity and the importance of structure to achieve the best results from a meeting.
