The short life of A.J.A. Symons (1900-41) was described by his biographer as an intricate and largely harmless confidence trick. His many interests included the collection of musical boxes and rare books as well as the study and practice of forgery; they left him time to edit an anthology of Edwardian verse and compose studies of H.M. Stanley and other notable figures. He is remembered for The Quest for Corvo, one of the most remarkable biographies ever written, and for co-founding the Wine and Food Society.

‘By turns bloody, sweet, bleak and joyful… It is also very, very funny’ NEW STATESMAN 
 
This is a graphic memoir (like a graphic novel, but true – and also a bit graphic). 
 
It’s about the delirium, chaos and strangeness of becoming a parent for the first time. 
 
It’s for every one who has ever wondered if it’s ok to cry when the baby cries – and also laugh, snort, lie on the floor naked and drool when the baby drools. 
 
This is definitely not a parenting manual, but it might be the only book about parenting you’ll ever need. 
 
‘You will cry, yes, but mainly snort with laughter’ SUNDAY TIMES 
 
'The most accurate account of becoming a parent I have ever read' PHILIPPA PERRY 
 
'Bracingly truthful... very funny' OBSERVER 
 
'It made me laugh, weep, cheer and howl... essential reading for parents and their peers.' NELL FRIZZELL 
 
‘So clever, so funny, so astute, so healing. Becky Barnicoat is a stone cold genius' LUCY JONES

In these two series, he takes a look at a few of life’s fundamental topics, including Love, Death, Science, Truth and Oceanography.From seeking romance when his wife elopes with the electric kettle to searching for the hidden meaning of life, said to be written on a sausage, he takes us on a personal journey through his memories, experiences, dreams and fantasies to reveal his own idiosyncratic version of normality.Along the way, he discovers that his kids are actually alien tourists visiting Earth on a rowdy package holiday; signs a pact with the Devil to to reverse the ageing process (and look more like Richard Burton), undergoes surgery to explore his brain’s inner workings; and proves once and for all that dinosaurs could read, write and ride bicycles. But will his attempts to tell the absolute truth prove to be a less-than-wise career move?Also included is a festive special episode, Steven Appleby’s Normal Christmas, in which Steven meets Santa and learns that Christmas isn’t just about receiving...Paul McCrink and Mark Perry star as Steven, with Steven Appleby as himself and Rachel Atkins, Ewan Bailey, Nigel Betts and Rosalind Paul as the figments of his imagination.CreditsWritten by Steven ApplebyCover drawing by Steven ApplebyProduced by Toby SwiftStarring Paul McCrink and Mark Perry as Steven and featuring Rachel Atkins, Ewan Bailey, Nigel Betts, Rosalind Paul and Steven ApplebyFirst broadcast on BBC Radio 4, 8 August-12 September 2001 (Series 1), 19 February-26 March 2003 (Series 2), 23 December 2004 (Steven Appleby’s Normal Christmas)© 2024 BBC Studios Distribution Ltd.

Zach Weinersmith

What will the world of tomorrow be like? How does progress happen? And why don't we have a lunar colony already? In this witty and entertaining book, Kelly and Zach Weinersmith give us a snapshot of the transformative technologies that are coming next - from robot swarms to nuclear fusion powered-toasters - and explain how they will change our world in astonishing ways. By weaving together their own research, interviews with pioneering scientists and Zach's trademark comics, the Weinersmiths investigate why these innovations are needed, how they would work, and what is standing in their way.

Ten Emerging Technologies That Will Improve and/or Ruin Everything

Bob A. N. Grypants

Feel exhausted by 2016? Wondering how it could have unfolded in such a bonkers way? Both a cathartic momento of an annus shitabulus and an optimistic look to the future, F*ck You, 2016 is the hilarious guide we all need as this ridiculous year draws to a close. 
 
Chapters include... 
- Politics (Brexit! Trump! Clinton! Farage! Corbyn!) 
- Oh bloody hell, they haven't died too, have they? (Bowie! Muhammad Ali! Prince! FUCKING PRINCE!) 
- miscellaneous nonsense (man buns, the Bake Off fiasco, 'Hiddleswift', Pokemon Go, Hygge, the Euros!) 
- Shit years through history (Okay, it's been bad, but things have been worse...) 
- Surely something good happened? (It did! Just remember that Andy Murray exists.) 
 
 Featuring some really badly drawn illustrations, this comic compendium will soothe your soul - before you throw it away on 31st December (or set fire to it?) and move into 2017. Which will be better, right?

Fuck You, 2016
