Austin Osman Spare: The Life and Legend of London's Lost ArtistA revised edition of Phil Bakers critically lauded biography of artist and occultist, Austin Osman Spare. London has harbored many curious characters, but few more curious than the artist and visionary Austin Osman Spare (18861956). A controversial enfant terrible of the Edwardian art world, the young Spare was hailed as a genius and a new Aubrey Beardsley, while George Bernard Shaw reportedly said Spares medicine is too strong for the average man.
A revised edition of Phil Baker’s critically lauded biography of artist and occultist, Austin Osman Spare.
London has harbored many curious characters, but few more curious than the artist and visionary Austin Osman Spare (1886–1956).
A controversial enfant terrible of the Edwardian art world, the young Spare was hailed as a genius and a new Aubrey Beardsley, while George Bernard Shaw reportedly said “Spare’s medicine is too strong for the average man.”
But Spare was never made for worldly success and he went underground, falling out of the gallery system to live in poverty and obscurity south of the river. Absorbed in occultism and sorcery, voyaging into inner dimensions, and surrounding himself with cats and familiar spirits, he continued to produce extraordinary art while developing a magical philosophy of pleasure, obsession, and the subjective nature of reality.
Today Spare is both forgotten and famous, a cult figure whose modest life has been much mythologized since his death. This groundbreaking biographical study offers wide-ranging insights into Spare’s art, mind and world, reconnecting him with the art history that ignored him and exploring his parallel London; a bygone place of pub pianists, wealthy alchemists, and monstrous owls.
This richly readable and illuminating biography takes us deep into the strange inner world that this most enigmatic of artists inhabited, shedding new light while allowing just a few shadowy corners to flourish unspoiled.
Revised, updated, and with a new afterword by the author, this is the definitive edition of Phil Baker’s critically lauded Austin Osman Spare: The Life and Legend of London’s Lost Artist.

Individually wrapped blades for hygiene
Size: #14R, Style: Pack of 20
Very hygienic that it comes in individual packaging! Every blade comes with a cover and a small sandpaper to keep the blades sharp! Perfect to keep reusing on their own.

Great for Peach Fuzz, But Not as Sharp as I Expected
Size: #14R, Style: Pack of 20
I really liked that each dermaplaning blade is individually packaged, which helps keep them clean and sanitary until you’re ready to use them. As a hairstylist/barber who works with sharp tools every day, I did not feel like these blades were particularly sharp. That may actually be a positive for someone who is new to dermaplaning and wants something a little less aggressive.
I used them on dry skin, but you can also use a facial oil for more glide. They did a nice job removing peach fuzz and left my skin feeling smooth afterward. Just be sure not to use them over active acne or irritated areas.
While they worked well on facial hair, I didn’t notice much additional exfoliation from my first use. I’ll continue using them every couple of weeks and see how they perform over time. Overall, a decent option, especially for removing peach fuzz.

Insightful Guide to Healthier Communication!
Format: Paperback
Debra has done it again! This was a rich book that blended biblical truth and practical tools for real, everyday relationships. She writes with warmth and clarity and addresses hard situations without shaming or oversimplifying them. Each chapter ends with questions and exercises that helped me reflect on my own patterns as a spouse, parent, friend, and counselor-in-training. I can see this as being valuable both personally and professionally. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to grow in emotional awareness, communication, and ultimately love their people well!

Insightful, Honest, and So Needed
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
Debra has a beautiful way of speaking truth with both clarity and compassion. Every book I’ve read or listened to by her has been incredibly practical, insightful, and genuinely life-impacting for me, and People Skills is already proving to be the same.
Reading (or listening) to Debra's books feels like sitting down with both a skilled counselor and a trusted friend. She doesn’t just offer theory, she offers tools. Honest, helpful, and immediately applicable.
One of the ideas that really stood out to me is that relationships don’t run on intentions. They run on skills. We can mean well and still miss the mark. That reminder is both humbling and hopeful.
This book challenges you to stop defending your intentions and start owning your impact. Then equips you with the skills to love better, communicate clearly, and strengthen the relationships that matter most.
If you care about growing healthier, stronger relationships, this book is a gift. I’m already recommending it to friends, and it's one I know I’ll revisit.
