General Culture
In this book you’ll find themes as important as: Astronautics, Politics, History, Art, Literature, etc.

They’re 4 volumes profusely illustrated in colour and presented in luxury covers, 21 x 27 cm.

General Culture is a book of extraordinary interest for all. There you’ll find basic knowledge of culture and all human knowledge reasonably developed and at the same time easy to read.

Women’s Encyclopedia
Everything the modern woman needs to know to be happier. How to take care of your baby; how to prepare delicious meals; original solutions for home decor and, naturally… beauty secrets!

They’re 12 volumes in wonderful covers in large formats: 33 x 24 cm.

We were careful to illustrate the book with many coloured photos and in particular the decor books were valorized with suggestive schemes for practical arts and crafts.

A book is the best gift”
