Sue Meikle has always been obsessed with picture books, and after working as an Early Years Specialist for over 25 years, she has read stories to children from Stockport to South Africa. In schools, in early years centres, while on forest school adventures... Sue has even read stories on a travelling play bus! So, perhaps it was always in the stars for Sue to not just read books, but write them, too! When she's not reading or writing stories, Sue can be found walking her dog or chauffeuring her teenagers around the Greater Manchester area (because that’s where they live… in a home that they made from a derelict barn!)

New introduction by Ian Rankin 
_________________________________________ 
 
‘One of the most playful and entertaining writers of our generation’ 
Val McDermid, Guardian 
 
 In an absorbing voyage as interesting to non-drinkers as to true whisky connoisseurs, sci-fi and literary author Iain Banks explores the rich heritage of Scottish whisky, from the most famous distilleries to the most obscure operations. 
 
 Whisky is more than a drink: it's a culture that binds together people, places and products far across Scotland's rugged terrain. Switching from cars to ferries to bicycles, Banks criss-crosses his homeland, weaving an engrossing narrative full of fascinating traditions, peculiar people, and the downright bizarre places he encounters on his journey down Scotland's great golden road.

David Squires

Stunningly illustrated by David Squires (as featured in the Guardian), The Illustrated History of Football is a wry look at the highs and lows of the beautiful game. Laugh-out- loud and occasionally moving, it's the perfect gift for anyone who loves football. 
 
'Squires is the master of the football comic strip and this collection is recommended reading for enlightened football fans everywhere' -- Late Tackle 
'No one captures the absurdities and ugliness of football better than him ... hilarious' -- Coach Magazine

'Simply wonderful' -- ***** Reader review 
'One of the funniest books I've read in a very long time. A must for anyone who loves football' -- ***** Reader review 
********************************************************************************************* 
Football and comics. Once a hearty Saturday combination to match cartoons and cereal, in recent years they've drifted apart. Thankfully for us, illustrator Squires is here to change all that. 
 
 In The Illustrated History of Football, his first book, Squires relives some of football's most glorious moments and meets its greatest figures. In a sport full of handsome paycheques and corporate sponsors, he also casts a critical eye over corrupt backroom workings and helps pierce football's overblown balloon. 
 
Funny, good-looking and preternaturally astute, this book is everything Sepp Blatter wishes he could be. 
More than the archetypal loo book, this is a satirical look at the highs and lows of football and the perfect gift for all fans...

Bruno Vincent

The perfect gift for any Oasis fan 
 
In early 2025, a mysterious cache of papers was discovered in a skip in Manchester. Although not at first recognised, it was soon discovered to be a secret stash of private papers belonging to Oasis musicians Liam and Noel Gallagher, comprising lost diary entries from the course of the brothers’ lives, plus other correspondence and artefacts including one ‘Gospel According to Liam Gallagher’. 
 
Some might say It seems likely that the pages were intended for destruction because the details contained within are personal, often controversial and offensive. And also, frankly, quite ridiculous. Are they a work of forgery intended to defame the Gallagher brothers? Or a true glimpse into what has been going on behind the scenes over the decades?* 
 
*Legally I am obliged to tell you that the latter is not the case… Or is it??** 
 
 
**Again, the lawyer insists I say: no.

Mark Ronson

Lady Gaga, Adele, Amy Winehouse, Dua Lipa, Bruno Mars, Miley Cyrus, the Barbie soundtrack. Behind some of the biggest musical moments in the past two decades is one man: Mark Ronson. Now, his memoir Night People captures the music, characters, escapades and energy of his formative DJ days in '90s New York. 
 
Mark Ronson was born a night person. With hedonistic creatives for parents, parties became his playground. Yet, having moved to New York City from London at a young age, he always felt like a bit of an outsider, until discovering himself in the pulsing, unifying joy of the city’s parties and hip-hop scene. Each night brought a heady mix of music, ambition, danger, delight, and possibilities. Having well and truly caught the DJing bug, he worked to find his place and make his name in the city that never sleeps. 
 
Night People conjures the undeniable magic of '90s New York, when clubs were diverse, glamorous, a little lawless. It evokes the rush of a time and place where fashionistas and rappers on the rise danced alongside club kids and 9-to-5'ers – and invites us into the tribe of creatives and partiers who came alive when the sun went down. 
 
A heartfelt coming-of-age tale, Night People is the definitive account of a cultural moment and the making of a musical mastermind.

— Ever wanted to save the world? — 
 
It’s easy to feel like we can’t make a difference. But small, easy actions, if taken by enough people, can move mountains – and save planets. 
 
Written in collaboration with leading environmental experts from WWF, this short book provides simple changes we can all make to our everyday lives, from morning to night. 
 
These aren’t the only things you can do. Nor are they things you have to do. But these 12 small acts are basic steps anybody can take, and if even one of them sticks, our children will inherit a better world. 
 
Acts like: 
 
– Turning off devices instead of leaving them on standby 
– Buying less cotton clothing (a T-shirt needs 2,400 litres of water to make!) 
– Using reusable straws when possible 
– Turning off the tap while you brush your teeth 
 
will take only moments, but if enough people commit to them, we can make a real difference to our planet.

Have you ever thought about what it takes to become a bestselling writer? 
 
If so, The Truth About Lisa Jewell is the book for you. It is the story of how a novel is written, from before the start to after the finish; it's an in-depth analysis of how that novel fits into a bestselling author like Lisa Jewell's career and her previous work, and what her style shares with authors from James Joyce to Martin Amis. 
 
But this is more than just a study of an author at the top of her game. Like Lisa Jewell's much-loved novels, it's also the story of a relationship - between the bestselling author and the professor of cultural studies who has made her his muse - evolving slowly as the world comes gradually out of Covid. It's the story of two very different writers getting to know each other gradually through words; two complete strangers becoming something more like friends. 
 
A must-have for fans of Lisa Jewell, for aspiring authors who are interested in the path to success - and a testament to the way books can bring us together.

'An indispensable read' Arianna Huffington 
 
From the global impact of the Coronavirus to exploring the vast spread of the Australian bushfires, join authors Ian Goldin and Robert Muggah as they trace the ways in which our world has changed and the ways in which it will continue to change over the next hundred years. 
 
 Map-making is an ancient impulse. From the moment homo sapiens learnt to communicate we have used them to make sense of our surroundings. But as Albert Einstein once said, 'you can't use old maps to explore a new world.' And now, when the world is changing faster than ever before, our old maps are no longer fit for purpose. 
 
Welcome to Terra Incognita. Based on decades of research, and combining mesmerising, state-of-the-art satellite maps with enlightening and passionately argued analysis, Ian and Robert chart humanity's impact on the planet, and the ways in which we can make a real impact to save it, and to thrive as a species. 
 
Learn about: fires in the arctic; the impact of sea level rise on cities around the world; the truth about immigration - and why fears in the West are a myth; the counter-intuitive future of population rise; the miracles of health and education that are waiting around the corner, and the reality about inequality, and how we end it. The book traces the paths of peoples, cities, wars, climates and technologies, all on a global scale. Full of facts that will confound you, inform you, and ultimately empower you, Terra Incognita guides readers to a new place of understanding, rather than to a physical location.

Jonathan Caplan

The most serious and sourced book ever published on the subject of UAPs (Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena), previously known as UFOs (Unidentified Flying Objects). Written by one of the UK’s most high-profile and well-respected barristers who has researched the issue for 50 years 
 
For five decades, Jonathan Caplan KC (King’s Counsel) has been pulling together an extraordinary body of evidence about the existence of UAPs, and what he believes to be the world’s greatest ever cover up. Public perception of the UAP issue changed radically in July 2023 when David Grusch – a former Air Force intelligence officer – went public to US Congress under oath on live television that the United States was in possession of crashed non-human craft. His evidence ignited huge interest around the world. Pressure is mounting for the full story to be told, and Not For Disclosure is a landmark book on a subject that the public can no longer ignore. 
 
In his quest for the full story, Caplan has travelled over the years to meet inside sources, including scientists, politicians, intelligence officers and ex special forces, in Washington, Israel and elsewhere. He has collated a vast amount of material from those in official positions who have trusted him and who have been prepared to talk confidentially about the subject. Over the last fifty years he has met and befriended most of the key individuals. His book is a detailed, up to date and in many ways shocking account of this fundamental and disturbing subject. It pulls together the strands of the phenomenon. It raises the debate. 
 
The book includes significant new material including information about JFK and also about secret meetings held by President Truman and Secretary Forrestal. There will also be important and previously unpublished documents from the ‘Majestic 12’ group as well as striking new photos.

Secrets and Stories from the Real Downton Abbey

Daniel Hume

Fire can fascinate, inspire, capture the imagination and bring families and communities together. 
 
It has the ability to amaze, energise and touch something deep inside all of us. For thousands of years, at every corner of the globe, humans have been huddling around fires: from the basic and primitive essentials of light, heat, energy and cooking, through to modern living, fire plays a central role in all of our lives. 
 
The ability to accurately and quickly light a fire is one of the most important skills anyone setting off on a wilderness adventure could possess, yet very little has been written about it. 
 
Through his narrative Hume also meditates on the wider topics surrounding fire and how it shapes the world around us.

The Art of Fire

Step by step guide to starting, building and handling fires

Adam Hamdy

One secret could destroy a city… 
 
A covert operative is murdered on the streets of Tokyo, hunted down by a masked assassin and silenced before he can expose what he’s stolen. 
 
With his final breath, he delivers a message that crosses continents: Get Jack Morgan. 
 
Private detective Morgan arrives in Tokyo to find a city on edge. 
 
As the investigation unleashes a chain of deadly events, it’s clear he’s stepped into something far bigger – and far more dangerous – than a single killing. 
 
Could he be the next target?

Private Tokyo

The twenty-sixth thrilling novel in the globally bestselling Women's Murder Club series. 
 
______________________________________________________ 
 
 
Beautiful young women are disappearing by the dozen. 
 
A celebration is cut short when a concerned father crashes Detective Inspector Lindsay Boxer’s party. His daughter is missing – and she’s not the only one. 
 
DI Lindsay Boxer has been tracking a chilling pattern: a Jane Doe washed ashore, a body in Golden Gate Park, a string of missing women across San Francisco. Someone is hunting the city’s most vulnerable, and the count keeps rising. 
 
When Lindsay reaches out to Interpol, their warning is stark: these cases are nearly impossible to solve, and the women are almost never found alive. 
 
But 'impossible' has never stopped the Women’s Murder Club before.
