Garfield is back – and bigger and better in his 21st Classic Collection, featuring 360 all-time favourite daily strips. On TV, The Garfield Show is shown around the world via the Cartoon Network and the books are supported by gift trade merchandise and commercial tie-ins.

The Odd Squad are on a mission – a mission from Odd: to cheer up the grumpy old gits of the world and turn their saggy frowns into sunshine and smiles! Yes, the Odd Squad have gathered together their funniest funnies and crammed as much mirth and merriment into each page as is allowed by European Law. Be warned … when grumpy old gits read this, they may experience some side effects such as spontaneous cackling, spraying beer through teeth and the occasional follow-through.

Women ... things of great beauty, wisdom, and the occasional strop. When a vat of Pinot Grigio and a year's supply of chocolate fails to cheer her up, give her this … a chocolate-coated, wine-infused selection of the most strop-banishing funnies from The Odd Squad cartoon vineyards. Each page contains a guaranteed knickerwetter (have a towel ready) and before you know it she'll be back to her old shoe-buying, gossip-guzzling, salehungry self again.

An illustrated celebration of human stupidity and poor decisionmaking, with examples from history, sport, politics, celebrity and corporate life. Each example is a tribute to failure and human failings, with hilarious results. Features Tom Cruise, Tiger Woods, Prince Harry, Richard Nixon, Zinidine Zidane, Tonya Harding…..

An hilarious illustrated celebration of international celebrity chav culture, in all its blonde and tanned awfulness. The book has two covers (back and front) and reads in from the back and the front – one way for bimbos, the other way for machos. This is the perfect Christmas humour gift for anyone who strayed into the world of bimbo and macho culture. With examples from TV, film, comics, games, literature, music and real celebrity life, this book attempts to explore the bimbo and macho universe and pay tribute to the greatest bimbos and machos of all time, both fictional and real…. Jordan, Anna-Nicole Smith, Pamela Anderson, Lolo Ferrari, Britney Spears, Sabrina; David Hasselhof, Julio Iglesias, Tubbs & Crockett, Brüno - get ready to meet them as you have never seen them before!

The popular image of gangsters is a glamorous one – night clubs, beautiful women, hard men in tailor-made suits. These are the images we have picked up from films, television and advertising. And, real mobsters have themselves been inspired by the portrayal of their (fictional) buddies on the screen. Remember Ray Liotta’s first words in the film Goodfellas? “As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster…” This book is a celebration of the way life imitates art. In a selection of photographs from films and newspapers, the dazzling traditional image of the gangster comes to life. Notorious mobsters from the USA, the UK and Europe are shown alongside their fictional counterparts from classic crime movies.

A celebration of nature’s spectacular light shows, and a visual feast documenting the kaleidoscopic colours that decorate the sky. For millennia, humans have been fascinated with the ghostly green and red curtains of light that shimmer across the heavens on dark, clear nights. Ancient peoples saw these displays as souls of the dead, the torches of the spirits and as harbingers of war. Barely 100 years ago, scientists finally learned that an aurora is created when the Earth’s magnetic field is bombarded with charged particles from the sun. When the charged particles collide with oxygen in the atmosphere, auroras with yellows, greens and reds appear. Collisions with nitrogen result in bluish colours. However, our understanding of the physics behind auroras has not detracted from their wonder. Auroras is filled with 80 photographs of one of nature’s greatest spectacles, complete with captions that reflect on the folklore, science and beauty of the northern lights. The book poses and answers the many scientific questions about auroras

A self-help guide to help individuals to learn to understand their own unwanted behaviour and the unwanted behaviour of others. This book explores why unwanted behaviour occurs and how to develop and implement strategies aimed at "changing your behaviour for a brighter future".

David Holm is an architect who is passionate about drawing, the built environment and travel. His first book Drawing Italy was published to great acclaim. Drawing Paris is an architectural guide to the most beautiful (and planned) city in the world. Why Paris? The history of Parisian Architecture is the history of Europe – from the medieval origins of the Louvre palace, through to Napoleon’s grand designs, Hausmann’s great visionary boulevards and IM Pei’s controversial pyramid. Paris is an architect’s dream.

For too long, the ancient history of Easter Island has been associated with ecological disaster, social conflict and cultural collapse. Today, thanks to archaeological digs carried out over a period of more than 10 years, the island has rediscovered a fresh part of its history and has an opportunity to better understand its past. To ensure that these new archaeological discoveries receive the publicity which they deserve, Editions Versant Sud will publish this beautiful full colour book which presents a fascinating account of the new evidence which has turned our knowledge of Easter Island onto its head.

David explains the history of Paris as he takes us on a grand tour of the city through her 12 arrondissement. With his trademark exquisite drawings of the major buildings, clear explanatory text and all new supporting photographs, this book distils the history and beauty of Paris into one very special guide book.

In particular, the book sheds new light on the causes of deforestation, supposed periods of famine, social tension and clan wars, the overturning of the giant stone figures and the legends associated with them.

In the early 1900s, cycle racer Bobby Walthour Sr. was one of the world’s most famous and highly-paid athletes. This biography is the compelling story of a time when professional bicycle racing was a hugely popular spectator sport in Europe and the USA before the outbreak of World War One.

POOL TECHNIQUES AND TRICKS Accusations of doping in bicycle racing, whether proven or presumed, are nothing new. Right from the early days of the sport, the use of “performance enhancers” have been a staple of the sport’s rumour mill. The last two decades of the 19th century were the time when bicycle racing was the ultimate professional spectator sport. At bicycle racing tracks vast crowds would come to watch, and bet on, the riders who were at the time literally the fastest men (and women) on earth. In this environment, a manager or trainer often had what seemed like total control over his riders. The most famous, some say notorious, of these trainers was Lancashireborn James Edward “Choppy” Warburton. His “little black bottle” was believed to have magic powers to restore, or sometimes destroy, his riders. Was the bottle really filled with a magic potion, laced with doping substances? This book exposes what is known about Choppy and his riders, several of whom, like Choppy himself, died a tragic death.

The aim of this book is simple yet ambitious: to produce, in a single volume, a detailed and complete history of the Raleigh cycle company of Nottingham, from its founding to the present. It covers not only bicycles, but also motorcycles, cars, vans, munitions, motorcycle engines, and bicycle and motorcycle gears. The story of Raleigh is fascinating in many different respects — the people, the products, the production methods, and more. The personalities involved were many and various, ranging from the founder’s ambition to make the best bicycles money could buy to anonymous “suits” almost running the company into the ground from fancy offices in New York. But Raleigh also deeply touched the lives of tens of thousands of other people who depended on it, directly or indirectly, particularly in and around the city of Nottingham.

Alessandro Sannia

The man who designed them, Charles Franklin, was responsible for many advanced design concepts in early motorcycles. This book chronicles his life and also sheds new light on the often-turbulent history of the Indian Motorcycle Company itself. Franklin was born and raised in Ireland but it was when he moved to Indian in the USA, where he became the Chief Design Engineer, that his genius really flowed. His designs catapulted Indian back into the forefront of motorcycle design in the 1920s and ’30s and his racing engines and motorcycles won much glory for Indian against stiff opposition. The Indian has been the iconic image for American big V-Twins down the years, due in no small measure to the motorcycles designed by Charles B Franklin. A much-needed dream book for all motorcycle fans who love the history of the classic American V-Twins.

MOTOR RACING The Pursuit of Victory 1963 to 1972

The story of the driver rated by many as the best woman ever to race cars, and the most capable ever to have driven in Formula One. Her 50-year career began at the age of five in South Africa, moving to England and then the USA, before gaining renewed life at the famous Goodwood historic race events.

A unique wide-angle view of the world's greatest motor race, featuring groundbreaking panoramic colour photography which captures the spirit and atmosphere of the Le Mans 24 Hours. This book celebrates the sheer scale and drama of this legendary event.

A photographic journey through ten years in top level motorsport in the 1960s (Grand Prix, F1/2/3, sports and saloon car racing), from the perspective of a passionate motorsport enthusiast of the day. Exciting, dramatic, sometimes tragic events are described on the spot, as if seen over the driver or mechanic’s shoulder.

A superb collection of top-secret drawings, including training manuals and colourful wartime posters, from World War II. They were brilliantly created from a few downed aircraft, but mainly from pilots’ views of the enemy in the air, during missions. Almost all of the material was originally listed as “restricted — official use only” and previously unpublished in any form. The cutaway drawings of the aircraft and airborne weaponry were critical to the war efforts of Allied and Axis forces alike. Many of the graphic artists and technical illustrators employed by the Allies, and most employed by the Axis powers, remain anonymous. Their work survives on these pages, however, to provide rare and unique insight into war room strategy and the air- and ground-crew trainee classroom. Aviation enthusiasts, modellers, illustrators, artists and anyone with an interest in World War II history will find Graphic War a compelling inside look at the war fought in the sky. 286 x 235 mm; 272 pages; Over 200 colour illustrations; ISBN 978 155407 892 9; Paperback £19.95; BIC Classification: WGM; Boston Mills Press; 1st August 2011

In the 1930s, the Pan American Airways Clipper “flying boats” symbolized elegance and luxury, adventure and romance. Illustrated with rare period photographs, vintage travel posters, magazine ads and colourful company brochures, this fascinating book covers every aspect of these aircraft.

The Valentine was unusual, as unlike most British tanks to see service during WW2 it began life as a private venture - that is, it was not designed to War Office specification. Yet, the Valentine had the highest production numbers (over 8000) of any wartime British tank, and arguably the most variations.

This lavishly illustrated book tells the story of the 9th German Panzer unit and its operations on the Western and Eastern fronts during WW2. Many previously unpublished photographs are included, plus maps of the operational areas.

WARPAINT VOLUME 4 Dick Taylor

A pictorial history of the two air shows in Czechoslovakia immediately after WW2, which included aircraft from the USA, UK and France, with many wartime aircraft. This is a fascinating and unusual glimpse of the post-war aviation scene in Eastern Europe, with some rare photographs of major aircraft of the period.

Information in English on Japanese WW2 transport aircraft is hard to find, and here the story of the experimental transport designs is told in great detail. Fully illustrated with many rare photographs and excellent artwork, the wartime projects are described and discussed, both original designs and adaptations of bomber aircraft.
