Q: Why despite all the shortages was the toilet paper in East Germany always 2-ply? A: Because they had to send a copy of everything they did to Moscow. Communist jokes are the strangest funniest most enchanting & meaningful legacy of the 80 years of political experimentation in Russia & Eastern Europe known as Communism. The valiant & sardonic citizens of the former Communist countries
- surrounded by an invisible network of secret police threatened with arrest imprisonment & forced labour confronted by an economic system that left shops empty & bombarded with ludicrous state propaganda
- turned joke-telling into an art form. They used jokes as a coded way of speaking the truth. HAMMER & TICKLE takes us on a unique journey through the Communist era (1917-1989) & tells its real history through subversive jokes & joke-tellers many of whom ended up in the gulags. It is also illustrated with a combination of rare & previously unpublished archive material political cartoons caricatures photographs & state-sponsored propaganda. Humorous culturally poignant & historically revealing this is the story of a political system that was (almost) laughed out of existence.

Last year a box of never-seen-before photos of Hammer Films productions was archived by Hammer expert Wayne Kinsey for the British Film Institute. Kinsey & the BFI were so impressed by the collection that it was agreed the best should be published. Through these rare & mostly previously unseen images this book tells the visual story of Hammers output. You will be guided through this wonderful collection of photos by Kinsy himself the celebrated author of Hammer Films: The Elstree Studios Years" & " Hammer Films: The Bray Studios Years". The book explores the wider & fascinating side of one of the British film industrys greatest success stories showing once & for all that Hammer was not just a purveyor of cheap horror pictures. In fact they made films in a number of different genres such as war thrillers gritty dramas comedies & colourful swashbuckling adventures. Some of these were among their best films; 1959 is a case in point which included such classics as " Never Take Sweets from a Stranger" " Hell is a City" & " Yesterdays Enemy" the latter of which earned Hammer BAFTA nominations for best picture best actor & best supporting actor. Hammers films also benefited from an expert team of actors & technicians including big names that on first glance would never have thought to be associated with Hammer including Robert Aldrich Ken Adam Joe Losey Bette Davis Tallulah Bankhead Donald Sutherland Joan Fontaine Richard Widmark Ursula Andress & Raquel Welch. This is a limited edition hardcover book that is destined to become a highly sought-after collectors item." ...

If ever there were Satanic Majesties of rock their name was Led Zeppelin. The band that out-sold the Rolling Stones & made Robert Johnsons deals with the devil look like a playground game of conkers were as high inflated & glorified as their namesake. In Stephen Davis scorching account of their phenomenally successful career no aspect
- however disquieting
- is ignored. The infamous encounters with willing groupies in hotel bedrooms the narcotic alcoholic & psychotic wreckage they wreaked the disturbing influence of the notorious mage Aleister Crowley on lead guitarist Jimmy Page & the death of John Bonham are all recorded. Above all the exultant blazing charge of their music & its effects on Led Zeppelin & their fans is scrutinized. Hammer of the Gods" is a fierce & fearless story about a band that remain a legend of musical sexual & mystical power. It is the last word in rock n roll savagery. The biggest surprise success of the year.. .the Led Zep tale drenched in sex drugs & psychic abuse demonstrated the validity of all the old adages about talent power & corruption. Stephen Davis grimy homage to imperial excesss & demonic influence had fans slavering for more.
