Drawing on an enormous archive of previously unseen records held by international law agencies, the FBI, the CIA & big-city police departments, Rothmiller & Thompson reveal Sinatra’s pact with the Mob in shocking detail. With additional evidence from decades of investigations & testimony, they expose Sinatra’s lifelong association with the Mafia, which he always denied, & its deadly collateral damage.

Frank Skinner is undoubtedly one of the funniest & most successful comedians appearing on British screens. Born Chris Collins in 1957 he grew up in the West Midlands where he inherited his father's passion for football, a West Bromich Albion supporter, along with a liking for alcohol. Expelled from school at 16 Frank held various jobs later going on to gain an MA in English Literature.

Nurturing a serious drink problem from the age of fourteen, Frank eventually turned to Catholicism in 1987 & hasn't had a drink since. He performed his first stand up gig in December 1987. His first television appearance in 1988 met with fits of laughter from the audience & 131 complaints, including one from cabinet minister Edwina Currie.

He met fellow comedian David Baddiel in 1990 & the two went on to share a flat throughout the early 90's & to create the hit TV series Fantasy Football League. Winner of the prestigious Perrier Award at the Edinburgh Festival, Skinner's is a unique mixture of laddish & philosophical humour which has won him the prime time ITV show
- The Frank Skinner Show. Here, for the first time, Frank candidly tells us of the highs & lows of his fascinating life & career.

With its riveting blend of horror & science fiction, Frankenstein has gripped the publics imagination since its publication in 1818. Now Sam Ita, the genius of paper engineering & art, transforms Mary Shelleys tragic masterpiece into an unforgettable, stunning & accessible pop-up book. Ita successfully captures the rich, dark drama of his source through amazing images; the entire story unfolds almost cinematically, in a potent mix of graphic novel panels & spectacular three-dimensional designs. The gothic building where Dr. Frankenstein carries out his sinister experiment rises high on the page; a scaffold, complete with a rope noose, emerges threateningly & the misunderstood, rageful monster looms large & menacing, ready to destroy all in his path. This is pure visual magic & a wonderful way to experience a classic. ...

Frank Skinner Dispatches From The Sofa

Over the course of the last ten years, Frank Skinner has toured sell-out stand-up shows, hosted countless TV shows and an award-winning radio programme, written two well-received volumes of memoir, as well as recording a couple of pop songs and learning to play the ukulele. He has been a busy man. Yet, for the last two years, he has also managed to squeeze in a weekly column for The Times. Without fail, he sat down every week and wracked his brain to think of something to write 900 words about. Dispatches From the Sofa is the brilliant result. Alighting on such random topics as the potential demise of Margaret Thatcher, the love-hate relationship with your football club, Mike Read's musical of Oscar Wilde, fat pop stars, Serbian breakfast banter, the pleasures of air-guitar,
the banking crisis and the evil phenomenon of Jedward, this is a thought-provoking, wide-reaching, hilarious and self-deprecating collection - which also includes the first two chapters from his unpublished novel - from one of our funniest, quickest and most beloved comedians.
