On The Waterfront
£1.99
'I could've had class. I could've been a contender. I could've been somebody.' Former boxer Terry Malloy & his brother Charley, the crooked lawyer known to all as 'the Gent', are members of the tough, mobster-connected New York Longshoremen's Union, run by Johnny Friendly. Johnny & his goons rule the waterfront with an iron fist. If you want to stay alive, you do things Johnny's way & plead 'D 'n D'
- deaf & dumb. Terry, seen by most as a slow-witted, washed-up fighter, is happy to do any work he can get. But when he is caught up in one of Johnny's rub-outs & meets Katie, sister of the murdered man, a conscience begins to form. Together with the idealistic but tough-talking Catholic priest, Father Peter Barry, Terry & Katie attempt to take on the gangster-ridden waterfront. But Johnny Friendly & his men don't take kindly to ratting, & their attempts to undermine the mob may come at a severe cost.

On This Mountain
£5.99
This is a sumptuous celebration of the mountains of Wales. Scaling verbal & visual heights, it combines pithy writing & striking photography as ten well-known authors explore & explain the appeal of their favourite Welsh hill or peak. Some of these are well established landmarks on the tourist & mountaineering maps of Wales, others are more remote & private. Some are dramatic, brooding presences, dominating their landscape. Others are more unassuming. But, north or south, east or west, each is a place in the heart as much as a geographical feature. Ray Wood is world-renowned as a mountaineering photographer & his images give this collection its stunning visual integrity & impact. Complementing the authors revelations, the photography allows us to climb each mountain without safety harness & crampon, without fear of vertigo leaving us with a breathtaking, not a breathless, experience. Book contents: Mynydd Tynybraich by Angharad Price Mynydd y Gwrhyd by Alun Wyn Bevan Cader Idris by Bethan Gwanas The Blorenge by John Barnie On the Black Ridge by Jim Perrin Dinas Bran by Jane Mac Namee Y Berwyn by Iolo Williams Garn Fawr by Mererid Hopwood Mynydd y Garreg by Ray Gravell Crib Nantlle by Dylan Iorwerth. ...

From the most important British battle that you've never heard of (20 May 685) to the first meeting of Lennon and McCartney (6 July 1957), and from why Julius Caesar should have been wary of the Ides of March (15 March 44BC) to the day Jeanne de Clisson became a pirate and single-handedly declared war on the King of
