Nora Ephron

From the writer of When Harry Met Sally and Sleepless in Seattle, a collection of classic quotes for every occasion and season – the perfect gift for all women. 
 
We all want a best friend like Nora Ephron: frank but forgiving, wry but caring, someone who knows not only what to say but how to say it. 
 
Don’t know what to wear? 
‘Black matches with everything, especially black.’ 
 
Trouble in love? 
‘You can never know the truth of anyone’s marriage, including your own.’ 
 
Searching for a new belief system? 
‘My religion is Get Over It.’ 
 
Here is the best of Nora for every season of life, across her storied career, from her early days in the news media to her cult classic novel, to her unexpected turn as a legendary Hollywood writer. Nora saw it all, and with a wicked sense of humour and shrewd intellect, she made it all deliciously funny. 
 
Filled with unforgettable lines, this is a celebration of Nora’s singular wit and generosity – start at the beginning or flip to any page for instant delight. 
 
Praise for Nora Ephron: 
 
‘Triggered me to write my own book, and ask myself questions about who I was, and what kind of woman I am and how the world has shaped me.’ LILY ALLEN 
 
‘I am only one of millions of women who will miss Nora’s voice.’ LENA DUNHAM 
 
‘Funny, knowing and smart.’ INDIA KNIGHT 
 
‘Nobody does it funnier.’ MAUREEN LIPMAN

Howard Sounes

'Engagingly written and scrupulously researched' Observer 
 
An UPDATED EDITION of Howard Sounes' classic, definitive biography to mark the legendary Bob Dylan's 80th birthday 
__________ 
 
Bob Dylan was the first figure in the history of popular music to challenge the domination of the three-minute pop song and to bring serious ideas and poetry into the song lyric. A true revolutionary, he was also the first pop performer to adopt the attitudes and lead the life of a bohemian artist. In doing so he not only defined the direction which popular music would take in the second half of the twentieth century, he also defined the lifestyle which would come to be associated with the rock artist. 
 
This new edition of Howard Sounes' critically-acclaimed classic biography of Dylan includes a new chapter that brings the legend's life story right up to date. It gives the complete picture of the man, the artist and performer. Meticulously researched and including hundreds of interviews with Dylan's closest associates, the brand new chapter also covers the last ten years of Dylan's life, and the last (and previously unpublished) interview with Dylan's first serious girlfriend. 
 
Written by the acclaimed biographer of Paul McCartney and Lou Reed, this is a compelling, fast-paced and revelatory read, which takes the reader on a journey from Dylan's childhood in a Minnesota mining town to the status he enjoys today as one of the most iconic figures of contemporary culture.
