B I G P I C T U R E P R E S S is a new list of

highly illustrated books launching in September

2013, publishing as an imprint of the Templar

Company Limited. We believe that books should

be visually intelligent, surprising and accessible

to readers of all ages, abilities and nationalities.

Our books are objects to be pored over and then

returned to, again and again… created by and

made for the incurably curious. We also

recognise that visual excellence enhances the

way we read and the stories we are told –

whatever corner of the globe

you’re reading in. And thus our

motto, taken from an old Navajo

proverb:

many tongues – one eye.

IF YOU’RE AN ARCHITECT DESIGNING A HOSPITAL, DO NOT USE THIS

THE RIDDLE: A man is found dead in a room with 53 bicycles

around him. What happened?

THE OLD ANSWER: The man was cheating at cards. He was using a Bicycle-

brand deck of cards—there should have been only 52 cards, but he had an extra ace. Someone got angry and killed him.

THE NEW ANSWER:This story is pretty famous and I’m surprised you haven’t heard it before. The dead man was Pierre LeFete, a Parisian who held many world records for eating strange objects. (Here are some things Monsieur LeFete ate: a set of steak knives, a jumbo jet, and a Peugeot 505 [a type of small but delicious car]). LeFete had an archrival, Jacques Dupont, a slightly less impressive extreme eater whose records had all been smashed by LeFete (Dupont’s feats of eating: a spoon collection, a biplane, and a Peugeot 107 [an even smaller but also quite delicious car]). On the day this story occurs, LeFete was prepared to once again outshine Dupont, this time by eating �fty-three bicycles (breaking the lesser man’s record of 52 bicycles and one unicycle). But the scoundrel Dupont, driven mad by a string of public defeats, snuck into the exhibition hall early that morning and coated the bikes with a deadly, untraceable poison. LeFete had not even made it past the handlebar of his �rst Schwinn before he perished. It was a great tragedy in the extreme eating scene. Luckily, Pierre LeFete’s brother was Michel LeFete, the famous investigator, and through several impressive deeds of detection, Inspector LeFete was able to solve the crime and put the villainous Dupont in jail, where he remained for forty-�ve years, until one day he ate the iron bars to his cell and escaped, requiring Inspector LeFete to come out of retirement and apprehend the prisoner, which the great detective did with an amazing exploit involving a giant magnet.

As a public service, we provide new answers

to old riddles — because there’s nothing worse than telling a riddle to

someone who already knows the answer.
