Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Political Boll**ks takes a sideways look at the things that politicians say. We'd like to say that it ranges from the sublime to the ridiculous, but it's all too rarely sublime and all too often ridiculous. It's full of photographs that highlight the pompous, the absurd, the lies and the frankly stupid things spoken by politicians - that all the while they expect us to believe. Why should we bury bad news? Should there any longer be, known knowns; the known unknowns; and the unknown unknowns? But more to the point this book will expose once and for all how it's possible to tell if a politician is telling a lie.just watch to see if their lips move. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condition: Good. Now available in paperback, here is an illustrated collection of 250 cars that vary wildly from the norm - cars that are instantly memorable for a variety of reasons. These cars, of all ages and types, reflect the personalities of those keen enough to court controversy by designing, making or owning them - people who want to make a statement by being different and individual. Many of the cars featured are undoubtedly objects of desire, or in the case of a few unfortunate examples, of ridicule, but they all stand out from the crowd and each one can lay proud claim to its status as an extreme car. The book has been read but remains in clean condition. All pages are intact and the cover is intact. Some minor wear to the spine.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. The greatest sporting contest on the planet marks its 80th birthday in 2010 - and this wonderfully illustrated book provides a vivid and evocative celebration of the football World Cup's golden years. Drawing on the vast photographic archive of the "Daily Mirror", it focuses on the tournaments of the past, bringing back to life a time of pure sporting theatre, spectacle and glory. Here are the legendary matches and famous players who proudly wore their nation's colours, producing some of football's finest moments in a more innocent age before commercialism took hold of the sport. All the much-cherished World Cup superstars are here: from Pele to Puskas, Maradona to Charlton, Ardiles to Zico. They are pictured alongside the great managers, the atmospheric stadiums and the classic games of each tournament. But "When Football Was Football: World Cup" is not just about the showcase events and icons of yesteryear: it reveals the World Cup behind the scenes, with the players off duty, the fans, the colour and unique excitement, and the lesser-known stories that together have made the World Cup so special. Revelling in the World Cup's best years, this is the must-have photographic tribute for any football fan. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Nottingham Forest are one of the oldest football clubs in the world and undeniably the Brian Clough era stands out like a shimmering jewel with 'Old Big 'Ead' delivering undreamed-of success to the City Ground faithful during his 18 years at the helm. Entering the Football League in its fifth season, Forest quickly became stable members and, lifting their first major silverware, the FA Cup, towards the end of Queen Victoria's reign,there followed a lengthy period of yo-yoing between the old Divisions One and Two. The '60s brought sustained status with Johnny Carey's team finishing as championship runners-up to Manchester United, but the early 1970s brought relegation - and then came Clough. Such was the scope of Forest's transformation that they regained the top flight in 1977, lifted the League title a year later and then followed up with the little matter of winning the European Cup in 1979 and 1980. The heroes of the rarified time - John Robertson, Viv Anderson, Martin O'Neill, Peter Shilton et al - march across these pages in all their glory as the Clough years stretch to 1993, bringing retirement for the turbulent boss and demotion for his team. Since then there have been varying fortunes, but here the whole riveting story is brought to life through the magnificent Daily Mirror pictorial archive, from which countless gems have been unearthed. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
