A Sherlock Holmes Escape Book: The Adventure of the Two Flying Scotsmen is a unique form of puzzle book, in which the reader must solve the riddles to escape the pages.

The fifth title in this ingenious series of Sherlock Holmes Escape Books, The Adventure of the Two Flying Scotsmen is an exhilarating combination of escape room, puzzle book and adventure story. In this latest tale, Sherlock Holmes and Watson find themselves trapped on a Flying Scotsman bound for Edinburgh after being mistakenly led to believe that Sherlock is needed in Scotland to thwart a plot against the Queen. Readers will quickly discover that the actual plot in motion is to rig a rail race between the two Flying Scotsmen happening that day. A race where the Queen’s son Bertie has ill-advisedly lent money to a small gang of ne’er-do-wells within the household of the socialite Daisy Greville. A woman with whom Bertie is having a secret affair.

With Sherlock trapped on one train and the gang rigging the other, readers will face many challenges in order to thwart the gang and prevent the news of Bertie’s affair reaching the public. Something readers must do before the race between the two locomotives concludes in Edinburgh.

The readers as Sherlock must solve the puzzles aboard the train and alert the authorities before reaching the stop at York. However, this isn’t the only challenge the readers will face as anti-monarchists – aware of the gang’s plot, also seek to destroy the reputation of the monarchy by attempting to derail one of the trains so the money can be lost and Bertie’s secrets can be exposed.

With the reputation of royalty at stake, readers will follow Sherlock as he strives to solve the puzzles and prevent the royal scandal from breaking. If Holmes fails to solve the mystery, not only a train but also the reputation of the monarchy could be catastrophically derailed.

Fully updated to include the latest technologies and software, Mastering Composition is the definitive guide for taking great photos, considering visual weight, balance, negative space, and depth.

Author and professional photographer Richard Garvey-Williams argues that success lies in a combination of four elements: an impactful subject; dynamic composition; effective use of lighting; and, perhaps the most crucial, an ability to invoke an emotional response in the viewer. Citing examples gleaned from a study of history (the Ancient Greeks' Golden Rule, Fibonacci's mathematical ratio, and the principles known as Gestalt theory) the author analyses the concepts, rules and guidelines that define successful composition in photography and offers practical guidance to achieving great results.

In clear, concise and jargon-free text he also considers the role of tone and color in good composition and offers invaluable tips and the tools to help the photographer take control of the creative process. The book is illustrated with examples of the author's own beautiful nature photography, along with diagrams and notation to explain techniques most clearly. A final chapter in this definitive guide for all serious photographers discusses photography and its relationship to art before offering a considered conclusion to the exploration of this fascinating topic.
