| Granta 2008 312 pages | ||||
| Hardback 1847080383 | ||||
| Published Price £14.99 | Our Price £4.99 | |||
| Wry, humorous and self-deprecating, the playwright Simon Gray was one of the most gifted and engaging memoirists of modern times. In the third volume of his Smoking Diaries, he reflects on a life lived to the full, his long career in the theatre, turning 70, Tony Blair, the 2005 London bombings, his friendship with Harold Pinter, and the absurdities of modern life. Ruefully, he attempts to give up smoking, and finds himself wondering, 'Do I belong on the Sex Offenders' Register?' | ||||

Our Dumb World | |||

| Hardback Illustrated 0752891200 275x218mm | ||||
| Published Price £16.99 | Our Price £8.99 | |||
| In The Onion's inimitable style this guide to our planet offers a wealth of information and misinformation which will amuse, delight and just possibly educate. From Oceania ('A Bunch Of God-Damned Islands') to The Netherlands ('Where Everything Is Legal') and the British Empire (on which the sun now sets 'at precisely 5:47 p.m. GMT'), this is the world citizen's ideal reference tool for visits to the back side of Mount Rushmore or to Ljubljana (only visible to those who can pronounce its name). | ||||

| teNeues 2009 144 pages | ||||
| Hardback Illustrated 3832793143 | ||||
| Published Price £12.50 | Our Price £5.99 | |||
| From the quirky mind of Marc Johns comes this volume of whimsical sketches and the very driest of wit. People with branches growing out of their heads, a pipe that's trying to quit smoking, a skateboarding sandpiper... Johns's relentlessly blank-faced characters are simple, sparsely drawn expressions of a kind of skewed thinking reminiscent of Edward Monkton or Spike Milligan. | ||||

| Quercus 2008 336 pages | ||||
| Hardback 1847246087 | ||||
| Published Price £9.99 | Our Price £3.99 | |||
| How old is the F word and has it always been forbidden in polite society? And under what circumstances would it be advisable to get off at Gateshead rather than continuing all the way to Newcastle? Jonathon Green, Britain's most distinguished slang lexicographer, provides intriguing answers to these and hundreds of other questions about words and phrases that are generally best avoided at job interviews, dinner with the in-laws etc. 'Sexually explicit' doesn't begin to describe it. | ||||
