When we spend so much of our time immersed in books, who`s to say where reading ends & living begins? The two are impossibly & gloriously wedded, as Hill shows in Jacob`s Room Is Full of Books. Considering everything from Edith Wharton`s novels through to Alan Bennett`s diaries, Virginia Woolf & the writings of twelfth century monk Aelred of Rievaulx, Susan Hill charts a year of her life through the books she has read, reread or returned to the shelf. From beneath a shady tree in a hot French summer, or the warmth of a kitchen during an English winter, Hill reflects on what her reading throws up, from writing & writers to politics & religion, as well as the joy of dandies or the pleasure of watching a line of geese cross a meadow. Full of wry observations & warm humour, as well as strong opinions freely aired, this is a rare & wonderful insight into the rich world of reading from one of the nation`s most accomplished authors. ...

The full story of one of France`s greatest cinema legends, a clown whose film-making innovation was to turn everyday life into an art form. Jacques Tati`s Monsieur Hulot, unmistakable with his pipe, brolly & striped socks, was a creation of slapstick genius that made audiences around the world laugh at the sheer absurdity of life. This biography charts Tati`s rise & fall, from his earliest beginnings as a music hall mime during the Depression, to the success of Jour de Fete & Mon Oncle, to Playtime, the grandiose masterpiece that left the once celebrated director bankrupt & begging for equipment to complete his final films. Analysing Tati`s singular vision, Bellos reveals the intricate staging of his most famous gags & draws upon hitherto inaccessible archives to produce a unique assessment of his work & its context for film lovers & film students alike. ...

- MAP TITLES: the grids shown on our website serve both the civilian & the military 1:50, 000 topographic series. Although the areas covered by maps in both series are identical (apart from some border or coastal sheets), occasionally map titles differ – only one title is shown on the grid, usually the military one. In Galicia, the Basque country & in the Catalan speaking areas the tendency now is to use local place names rather than the often better known Castilian ones. Where possible, both versions are included in our titles. Map titles listed on our website are based on information received by us at the time of publication, but sometimes maps arrive showing a completely different title! As long as the map number is as ordered, the correct map has been supplied.

Sir William Lyons enjoyed a seemingly unstoppable rise to fame & fortune in the motor industry, & the Jaguar brand that he introduced became world-famous. Yet it did not happen overnight.
