Jeff Buckley: His Own Voice Mary Guibert (Jeff Buckley’s mother), David Browne
The fully authorised biography of late singer Jeff Buckley, which includes his never before seen lyrics, diaries and letters. In 1994, an artist named Jeff Buckley released 'Grace', his debut album. Hailed immediately by the likes of Bono, Jimmy Page, and Robert Plant, as a singer, guitarist, and writer of a generation. Throughout his life, Buckley obsessively kept journals chronicling his goals, inspirations, aspirations, and creative struggles. His diaries amount to one of the most insightful life chronicles any musical artist has ever left behind. Jeff Buckley: His Own Voice will mark the first-ever publication of Buckley's account of his journey through his handwritten diaries and lyrics. Combined with reproductions of other memorabilia, including letters, notes, and unpublished lyrics — the book will take readers deep inside Buckley's creative mind and personal life. For those who grew up listening to Jeff's music and for those who are just discovering it, Jeff Buckley: His Own Voice will be an intimate portrait of one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century in his own extremely vibrant words and never seen before lyrics.

Jo Wood A completely unique, never-before-seen look inside the mad world of the Rolling Stones, with unseen photographs, drawings, letters and memorabilia. This is a unique window into the making of music history. Married to the Stones’ legendary guitarist Ronnie, Jo Wood was at the heart of all-night parties, hours in the recording studio, months on tour, time spent in prison, meeting famous friends and, above all, having a good time. But her unique personal collection shows more than just the world’s biggest rock band at work. Photographs, notes and diary entries reveal a previously unseen, intimate side to a group of people who weren’t rock stars to Jo – they were her closest friends. Packed with photographs, mementoes and memorabilia, Jo’s book takes us from the chaotic days of the late 1970s – when the Stones could walk the streets of London after a night partying without being bothered by anyone – to the present day, when the band’s tours have become corporate-sponsored events with a cast of thousands. This is an unseen glimpse of the Rolling Stones as you’ve never seen them before.

Hooked
Tales from the Riverbank Mark Hix Narrative fishing adventures from one of the UK’s most influential chefs. Hooked delves into the exciting fishing adventures of celebrated chef, restaurateur and food writer Mark Hix, opening with the story of his first catch, age 8, being cooked for supper by his grandmother – the catalyst for what has become his passion. You will be regaled with tales of extraordinary fishing expeditions at home and afar, from the banks of the Dumfriesshire coast to Tuscany’s Porto Ercole, with each trip ending with a feast – be it the catch of the day (if all went to plan), or something found and foraged if the need arises (always have a back-up plan). Hooked features both exotic and humble dishes such as Hot stone salmon, Barracuda & pineapple ceviche, Trout kedgeree and Mahi mahi sashimi. Weaved into the narrative are the infectious, and unexpected, joys of fishing and what it does for you. Hint: it’s not necessarily about the fish.

Infactuation looks to answer the questions that philosophers, poets and scientists have tried to demystify over the course of humankind's history.

addiction, sex, love and heartache. Through examining the core scientific discoveries of why we act and feel the way we do, this book is a guide to decoding the one emotion that makes us entirely and uniquely human - love.

Full of illuminating illustrations and diagrams, this book lifts the lid on how drugs affect the brain; the science behind addiction; how
the brain deals with trauma and pain; and the effects on the brain of love, age, and sex.
