DOWNLOAD EBOOKSTRONGThe first ever narrative biography of a towering figure in British comedy Les Dawson, more than any other comedian, spoke for the phlegmatic, pessimistic British way of life. A Northern lad who climbed out of the slums thanks to an uncommonly brilliant mind, he was always the underdog, but his bark was funnier and more incisive than many comics who claimed to bite. Married twice in real life, he had a third wife in his comic world—a fictional ogre built from spare parts left by fleeing Nazis at the end of World War II—and an equally frightening mother-in-law. He was down to earth, yet given to eloquent, absurd flights of fancy. He was endlessly generous with his time, but slow to buy a round of drinks. He was a mass of contradictions. In short, he was human, he was genuine, and that's why audiences loved him. This is his story.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Beatles landing in New York in February 1964 was the opening shot in a cultural revolution nobody predicted. Suddenly the youth of the richest, most powerful nation on earth was trying to emulate the music, manners and the modes of a rainy island that had recently fallen on hard times. The resulting fusion of American can-do and British fuck-you didn’t just lead to rock and roll’s most resonant music. It ushered in a golden era when a generation of kids born in ration card Britain, who had grown up with their nose pressed against the window of America’s plenty, were invited to wallow in their big neighbour’s largesse. It deals with a time when everything that was being done - from the Beatles playing Shea Stadium to the Rolling Stones at Altamont, from the Who performing their rock opera at the Metropolitan Opera House to David Bowie touching down in the USA for the first time with a couple of gowns in his luggage - was being done for the very first time. Rock and roll would never be quite so exciting again.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKTerry Ravenscroft is back, putting pen to paper once more, and this time he's taking on the major food and drink corporations. No one is safe as Terry targets companies from Kellogg's and Ryvita to Mars, Heinz and Cadbury with his irritating epistles. Terry tackles everything from quality and pricing to taste and advertising campaigns, quizzing companies like Ferrero about why it's impossible to 'feel the nuts' in Nutella spread 'despite going through it with a fine tooth comb'. Combining the author's trademark humour with a sly nod at the megalomania of global corporations, Dear Customer Services is a letters book with a difference, giving everyone who's ever had a reason to dislike the big companies a big laugh at their expense!
