Now updated from the hardcover edition, this meticulously researched and powerful biography acts as a potent lens on fame, privacy, the media, sex, power, and relationships between classes. Margaret, Duchess of Argyll (1912-1993) was an international celebrity in her youth, adored by millions. But in 1963, the year of the Profumo Affair, the 11th Duke of Argyll shocked the country when he alleged that his adulterous wife had slept with more than 80 men behind his back. He produced a set of sexually explicit Polaroids and explosive love letters. The duke won a divorce, but this had a dramatic effect on Margaret's life. On the verge of financial destitution, she was abandoned by most of her friends prior to her death in a nursing home in 1993. Lyndsy Spence tells a tragic story of the life of this fascinatingly complex woman, and shows how she fell victim to a cruel husband, harsh social mores, and an unforgiving class.Binding Type: Paperback

No more lost fidgets
Color: Brown
My son has a million fidgets to help him focus and this is a great tray to store them in and keep them in one place. Looks very pish posh for what it is and adds a nice bit of decor to his desk without looking juvenile.

Simple and Effective Remote Organization
Color: Black, Size: Small
The Pros:
Spacious Design: With five deep pockets, there is plenty of room to store everything from TV and soundbar remotes to reading glasses.
Functional and Steady: It sits perfectly on a side table without tipping over. It does exactly what I hoped it would do by keeping all our remotes in one spot.
Great Portability: It is lightweight enough to move around easily, which is helpful for keeping things organized while we are on the move.
Clean Finish: The material looks professional and blends in well with the furniture without looking like a cheap plastic holder.
The Cons:
Pocket Depth: One thing to keep in mind is that the pockets are fairly deep. If you have very small remotes, they can slide down a bit far, making them slightly trickier to grab quickly.
Bottom Line:
This is a straightforward, no-fuss solution if you are tired of losing remotes in the couch cushions. It is well-made, looks good, and simply works. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to declutter their living space.
