Frank Sinatra: A Life In Pictures

9781862059252 | £25 | November | HB

Colour photographs throughout | 192 pages | 290 x 225 mm

• Frank Sinatra's career spanned more than 60 yearsand his popularity is still firmly intact

• Features rare and intimate photographs of Sinatra,'the Voice'

• A captivating biography of the superstar of moviesand music

A dandy, a crooner and an actor, talented and scandalous,as close to the Kennedys as to the underworld barons,Frank Sinatra fascinates. Coming from a small town inNew Jersey, the bad boy married Ava Gardner andconquered Hollywood, starring in over 60 films andwinning an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor in 1953 forhis role in From Here to Eternity.

It’s thanks to music, however, that his talent gainedworldwide recognition. Nicknamed ‘The Voice’ by theinternational press, Sinatra imposed his unique style andsold over 150 million albums in his 62-year career.

Sinatra can be seen as a monumental artist. His life issummed up in one of his first hits: ‘Nothing but the Best’;he was always associated with the best composers, bestmusicians and best arrangers. In his personal life it wasalso the best vintage wine, the most beautiful women andall the extravagant luxury that accompanies a superstar(and some would say a bad boy’s) life.

Frank Sinatra: A Life in Pictures recalls this exceptionaljourney through a captivating biography and rare andintimate photographs.

• A celebration of the debonair, gentleman actor ofover 70 films

• Beautifully arranged, his 'life in pictures' capturesthe essence of who Cary Grant was

Cary Grant enjoys a special status in Hollywood; heembodies masculine chic. He was the inspiration for IanFleming’s famous British spy, James Bond: a mixture ofchic, virility and sex appeal. Interestingly, in 1962, CaryGrant actually turned down the role of Agent 007, JamesBond, in the film Dr No. However, far from being just adandy with a sense of humour, Cary Grant was anaccomplished actor, nominated twice for an Oscar andfive times for a Golden Globe, as well as AlfredHitchcock’s favourite actor.

This book provides a pictorial account of his fascinatinglife story. It's the story of Archie Leach, born in Englandinto poverty, and who transformed himself into CaryGrant and became rich and famous in America. With hissuave, debonair personality, he conquered Hollywood andbecame an intimate friend of Audrey Hepburn, GraceKelly and Sofia Loren. He was a leading man for over 30years and ended his days as an influential actor andbusinessman, with all the trappings of success – amagnificent manor house, a private jet and thesumptuous leather of a Rolls-Royce with a ‘CG1’ licenceplate.

Life Below Stairs Siân Evans

9781907892110 | £20 | September | HB


• From the cook, butler and housekeeper to the footman, lady's maid andnanny, this is a fascinating glimpse behind the scenes of some ofBritain's grandest houses

• An entertaining social history, steering the reader through theminefield of etiquette and hierarchy that kept Britain's great housesrunning like clockwork

• A bygone era is brought vividly to live through letters, journals,interviews, lively descriptions and stunning photography of the placesand possessions left behind

The largely untold stories of innumerable, rather humble, lives spent ‘inservice’ are lying just below the surface of many great houses; the physicalevidence can be seen in surviving servants’ quarters, the material of theireveryday life, even their uniforms and possessions. Giving a fascinatinginsight into the hierarchy within the servant's quarters – from the power-wielding cook to the ever-discreet butler – this guide describes howrelationships were forged and changed as the gap between upstairs anddownstairs was bridged. Describing their typical working day as well as theholidays, entertainments and pastimes enjoyed on a rare day off, not tomention the whirl of the social season, this previously ‘unwritten history’recalls vividly the nature of their lives below stairs.

Siân Evans is a cultural historian andhas written several books on designand art, including Pattern Design, alsopublished by National Trust Books.She worked for the National Trust forseveral years and is now a full-timewriter.

In Search of the South PoleHuw Lewis-Jones and Kari Herbert

9781844861378 | £20 | October | HB

150 photographs and illustrations | 192 pages | 267 x 197 mm

• Published to coincide with the anniversary of Scott’s 1911 expedition tothe South Pole

• Brings together an outstanding collection of rare materials,photographs and ephemera

• Foreword by Sir Ranulph Fiennes

In 1912 the western world was watching, waiting, hoping, attention focusedon a desolate spot at the very end of the earth, as two expeditions raced toconquer the South Pole. A hundred years after Roald Amundsen’s triumph,while Robert Falcon Scott and the remaining members of his team perishedon the Barrier Ice, our fascination with Antarctica is as acute as ever. Thedrama of Scott’s demise soon ascended into myth, and his reputation hasgone on many journeys in the century after his death. This book is a visualhistory of a cultural phenomenon, looking not just at the legacy of this ‘race’but at the South Pole itself. Examining a number of expeditions to Antarcticathrough discussions with some of the leading explorers, historians, scientistsand polar experts of today, it questions the value of Scott and Amundsen’sachievements and considers why people are still drawn to this bleak andinhospitable blank on a map – it remains an international stage for ambitionand adventure, dreams and desire. Among those who have contributed areBorge Ousland, Pen Hadow, Lynne Cox, Rosie Stancer, Liz Morris, JonBowermaster and Ranulph Fiennes. The authors have also obtained exclusiveaccess to private archives to showcase a superlative range of previouslyunseen imagery and ephemera.

Twilight Of The Gods David Stone

9781844861361 | £20 | August | HB


• From the author of Conway’s successful Fighting for the Fatherland andHitler’s Army 1939-1945

• A new study of the structure, effectiveness and conduct of the Germanhigh command prior to and during the Second World War

• Examines in depth the General Staff’s problematic relationship with theFührer, the internal 1944 ‘Operation Valkyrie’ and numerous other plotsto assassinate Hitler, and the subsequent domination of Himmler’s SS atthe highest level of German strategic planning

When Hitler enabled the transformation of the Truppenamt into the GeneralStaff in 1935, General Beck saw an opportunity to re-establish a command ofgreat power and influence that would act as a stabilising influence onGermany as a whole. Such a vision ran directly contrary to Hitler’s ideology,however, setting up a tension that continued to ferment throughout the war,culminating in the assassination attempt on the Fuhrer by an internalresistance movement in 1944. In this new and comprehensive study,acclaimed author David Stone analyses the successes of the General Staff inspite of the many trials and tribulations they faced as part of the Nazi warmachine – increasingly so as many officers found themselves forced toimplement strategic and political agendas with which they disagreed. At anoperational level he shows that it performed well and did much to ensurecontinued and efficient mobilisation, training and deployment of soldiersthroughout the war, despite being drawn into a conflict of attrition, ratherthan the short Blitzkrieg for which it had always planned. Presenting anoriginal interpretation of Germany at war, the author clearly expresses thekey aspects of an organisation at the heart of Axis military planning, anorganisation, moreover, that was intentionally complicated by Hitler.

David Stone is a former infantryofficer whose military service over 35years included a diverse range ofcommand, staff and active postingsall over the world. Much of his servicewas in Germany, affording him aunique opportunity to research andwrite on the German experience ofwar.

Quick Training For WarLieutenant-General Sir Robert Baden-Powell

15 line drawings | 120 pages | 140 x 110 mm

• Authentic army training manual written by a nationalhero and the founding father of the Scout movement

• A unique insight into the methods of warfareadvocated in 1914

• Bought privately by tens of thousands of British menand officers, this became the Tommy’s standard‘survival guide’ in the early stages of the war

Quick Training For War was one of many training manualsused by British Army officers prior to the First World War.Using his hard-earned military experience, Baden-Powell– a national hero thanks to his successes against theZulus – distills soldiering down to the ‘four C’s’: Courage,Common sense, Cunning and Cheerfulness. With adviceon everything from tracking the enemy to ‘inculcatingcheerfulness in your men’, the book gives a uniqueinsight into the training and mindset of an officer in 1914.It also has important lessons on the value of leadership,clear thinking and good morale, all based on solidEdwardian values, conventional military thinking andcenturies of Army tradition. A fascinating perioddocument, it shows exactly what type of war the Britishexpected to wage against Germany – as a result, themuddy battlefields of the Somme came as a real shock.Nevertheless, Baden-Powell’s no-nonsense approach didmuch to help shape raw recruits into capable soldiers,and the observations and anecdotes of this seasonedcampaigner make for engaging and inspiring reading.

Robert Baden-Powell OM, GCMG, GCVO, KCB was alieutenant-general in the British Army and, famously, thefounder of the Boy Scouts. His book Scouting for Boys, anenduring success since initial publication in 1908, hasbecome the fourth bestselling book of all time.

Idiotspeak!Richard Wilson

9781907554209 | £9.99 | September | HB


• From the mega-bestselling author of the hilarious Can't Be Arsed• A bruising punch to the modern vernacular – proof that some words

should be seen and not heard• A hilarious, topical and despairing look at the English language – and

the mess that it has become

Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the bookshop, comesbestselling author Richard Wilson's triumphant follow up to Can't Be Arsedand Don't Even Think About It!. Idiotspeak! is Mr Wilson's hilarious, and topical,self righteous stab at the modern day vernacular, taking aim at the inventionof ridiculous, nonsensical words that not only are just plain crap but alsomake those who dare speak them sound like complete twits. Richard waxeslyrical on awful words such as 'Ciao', 'Hurting', 'Fashionista' and 'Staycation'.He also lets loose on how those words were created and how they escapedand survived in the wild instead of being killed at a young age. Written inRichard's utterly fantastic ranting style, this sharp-shooting of theridiculousness of the modern English language – and the morons who use it– is a must-have for everyone.

Richard Wilson is head of comedy forHat Trick Productions and executiveproducer of Have I Got News For You.He has also previously worked onNever Mind the Buzzcocks and Room101. He is the author of thebestselling Can't Be Arsed: 101 ThingsNot To Do Before You Die and Don'tEven Think About It!

iGrumpIvor Grump

9781907554407 | £9.99 | August | HB


• iGrump is the technophobe's handbook, a gloriousrant about every bit of new technology supposedlydesigned to make our lives easier. Hah!

• And don't get him started on mobile phones or we’llbe here all night. No, we will

• Filled with the typical wit and observation, and justplain grumpiness, that have made each of the Grumpbooks bestsellers

Ivor Grump is an analog bloke struggling to keep afloatin a digital world. He isn’t an early adopter, he’s animmediate shunner. Everywhere he turns he findstechnology and gizmos encroaching into his world. Whenat last he’s forced to embrace consumer electronics –with all the enthusiasm of a bank vole nestling up to aperegrine falcon – he finds they go and change the devicehe’s studiously learned. Whether it’s the SatNav, hiserratic computer, the Internet, TV remote controls, hismobile or the washing machine, Ivor is a man easilybewildered. But still he battles on, trying to work outwhich of his 17 remote controls will have any influenceon the television. Along the way he takes large swipes attexting, downloads, MP3 players, voice (lack of)recognition, and suggests a new social networking website for those of a similar technology-hating disposition –Grumpbook.

Ivor Grump is possibly the grumpiest man alive. He hasfilled three books with his cantankerous observations andgripes and may just keep going on forever.

The follow-up title to the soar-away success of When I Were A Lad... – sales ofover 100,000) and When I Were A School Lad... – When I Were A Nipper... comesfrom a time long before anyone dreamed up Cbeebies. When I Were A Nipper...takes the pain of miserable childhoods and concentrates on the under-sixes.Tots are dangled off buildings, put in the custody of dogs, given baths in thestreet and used for unsuitable photo opportunities by unthinking parents. Inturn they torment the family pet by dressing it up in a sailor suit or getting itto act as a golf tee. When I Were A Nipper... is full of the same delightfully pre-health & safety shots from the 1930s, 40s and 50s that made the first twobooks a riproaring success.

Andrew Davies has written a varietyof comedy books including 101 PlacesNot To Visit. When I Were A Lad'sapproach to child safety was sooriginal that he was invited on BBCBreakfast Time to explain it.
