Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. 75th Anniversary edition of a top-selling humour classic The first date in English History is 55 B.C., in which year Julius Caesar (the memorable Roman Emperor) landed, like all other successful invaders of these islands, at Thanet. This was in the Olden Days, when the Romans were top nation on account of their classical education, etc. Since its publication in October 1935 1066 and All That has itself becomes part of our humour history. The authors made the claim that 'All the history you can remember is in the book' - and, for most of us, they were probably right. But it is their own unique interpretation of events that has made the book a classic; an uproarious satire upon textbook history and our confused recollections of it. 4 million copies sold worldwide since original publication, and continues to sell strongly 75th Anniversary gift-book edition.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. "Island" is an evocative word - for one person it conjures up the magic of paradise, but for another isolation, even desolation. But islands have a romantic fascination whether they be sunlit, windswept, deserted or inhabited, mountainous or low against the sea. In writing this book, Leslie Thomas has fulfilled a lifetime ambition by journeying to and describing some of the world's most famous and romantic islands. His odyssey has taken him to islands in America, Europe, the Mediterranean, the Pacific, the Atlantic, Australia, the Orient and the Indian Ocean. He visited islands as distant and diverse as Tahiti, St Pierre et Miquelon and Oshima, as well as Capri and Corfu, often setting foot in odd places far away from the tourist trails. His personal account enables the reader to feel the special mystery and character of each unique island. Other travel books by Thomas include "Some Lovely Islands" and "The Hidden Places of Britain".

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. In 1957 John Braine was a Yorkshire librarian with an impressive collection of publishers' rejection slips. But then his first published novel was an instant best seller and ROOM AT THE TOP launched him on a career as one of Britain's most successful novelists. Experiences like his are what keep Britain's 500,000 spare-time writers plugging away, hoping for publication and perhaps even a moment of fame. Few people understand as well as John Braine the torments of the hopeful unknown. For everyone who, as he did, faces spare-time writing and the indifference of publishers, he wrote this book. It is not a treatise on the art of fiction. Braine calls it 'a tour of his workshop' - a practical manual which tells the aspiring writer everything about writing a publishable first novel. With a wealth of quotations and advice, know-how and technique, this is a book which really works - and which can be applied successfully by anyone with the basic urge to write.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Alexei Sayle's Great Bus Journeys of the World - a howlingly funny miscellany with surprisingly little to do with buses - first appeared as a regular column in Time Out. Now this reissue brings to light once again the comic gifts and cartooning talents of the professional fat bloke. In a startling combination of anarchic humour, trenchant philosophy and deep political analysis, he explores the depths of his minefield psyche through such eccentric devices as an ode to Doris Lessing, tutorials on writing jokes, and a safety notice which no-one who has ever made a purchase from the Nagasaki Futon Company can afford to miss. This is a startling tour of an endlessly inventive imagination - and a boon to eel-fanciers everywhere. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…
