The stature of Brian Cloughs achievements combined with his sheer force of personality established him as the most charismatic character in the history of English football. Alternately infuriating delightful & illuminating he was impossible to ignore as he tilted at windmills both real & imagined in a long & chequered career. His outspoken nature fascinated the public & he was idolised by fans of Derby County & Nottingham Forest teams he led to huge success. Cloughie defied the odds
- his early life could have been deemed tragic were it not for the fact that he went on to achieve such greatness. With a promising football career cruelly cut short by a horrific injury he immediately went into management becoming one of the youngest managers in the football league when he took charge at Hartlepool. This was the start of his rise to the top which culminated in Nottingham Forests double European Cup triumphs in 1978-9 & 1979-80. His Way tells Brian Cloughs story in detail drawing on personal memories from the author & others who knew ol Big Ead intimately to present a complete & incisive portrait of one of the greatest managers in football.

Historic Views of London represents a selection of photographs from the collection of one man; it confines itself to the city of London & scarcely strays beyond the limits of Victorias reign. The author feels that these restrictions give to the book an inward strength & her hope is that it may prove a small tribute to a remarkable collector. Bernard Howarth-Loomes was an important collector of early photographs & particularly of stereo photography. Throughout his life he was deeply interested in photography & was especially enthralled by the stereoscopic three-dimensional process; he collected photographs of all sorts stereo-cards & photographic equipment. Through his collecting years he showed his consideration for others permitting the National Monument Record (NMR) to make copies of those which were relevant to that collection & generously granting reproduction rights. The topographical range of photographs was spread across the British Isles; those chosen for this volume have been confined to the Greater London area & in particular to the City of London & to Westminster. The NMR copied about 365 shots of the London area; we have selected almost 200 for this book. Ann Saunders has added an authoritative introductory text & captions for each image. ...
