Our living spaces are getting smaller but, as we spend more time at home, they must now work harder than ever to provide us with room to relax, work and entertain. Interior designers need to understand how to build accessibility, circulation, storage and lighting into the most restricted areas, without compromising on style.In this jargon-free guide, Mary Leslie demonstrates how to design for compact living, proposing creative solutions that can be applied to a variety of settings. A versatile designer may be addressing a cramped studio flat one day and a dressing room for an international business traveller the next; this book provides inspiration and advice for every kind of small space, and every budget.Organised around the different areas of the home, Squeezing It In examines familiar problems and offers clever, immediately applicable ideas for making the best of pocket-sized spaces. The entire design process is considered alongside complete examples, from the UK and internationally, which are generously illustrated with full-colour photographs, plans and sketches.

THE CROMABOO MAIL CARRIER is the story of a young working class man and a middle-aged gentlewoman making their separate ways in the world of small town Ontario in the mid-1800s. One of the earliest novels by a Canadian female author, the book explores a unique culture where rough settler habits are rubbing up against the expectations of a growing "proper society." Leslie writes with humour and wit, creating characters who are engaging and accessible even after a century and more.
