Secret Days:
Codebreaking
In Bletchley Park
£12.79
The Bletchley Park memoir of Lord ASA Briggs will be one of the most important documents to be published in 2010. Lord Briggs has long been regarded as one of Britains most important historians. He has never however written about his time at Bletchley Park. The publication which will coincide with Lord Briggs 90th birthday is a meticulously researched account of life in Hut Six written by a codebreaker who worked there for five years alongside Alan Turing & Gordon Welchman. In addition to discussing the progress of the Alliescode-breaking efforts & their impact on the war Lord Briggs considers what the Germans knew about Bletchley & how they reacted to revelatory memoirs about the Enigma machine which were not published until the 1970s. Briggs himself did not tell his wife about his wartime career until the 1970s & his parents died without ever knowing their sons contribution to the wartime effort. The book will be launched at Bletchley in May 2011 in the presence of other Hut 6 veterans & part of the proceeds will be donated to the fund to restore Hut 6 to its former glory. ...

Secret Diaries Of Miss
Miranda Cheever
£5.99
1 March 1811. Today I fell in love. At the age of ten Miss Miranda Cheever showed no signs of ever becoming a Great Beauty. Her hair was lamentably brown her eyes the same muddy colour & her legs which were uncommonly long refused to learn anything which might remotely be called grace. Only in 1811 the nineteen-year-old Viscount Turner
- eldest brother of Miranda's closest friend
- had kissed the hand of an awkward ten-year-old girl & promised her that one day she'd be as beautiful as she was smart. Now eight years later Miranda is a woman grown & Turner an embittered widower. But she has never forgotten his kindness. Indeed it is only in her diary that she confides the truth: she has never stopped loving Turner & she has never stopped hoping that one day he will see her as more than a nave girl.

Secret Diary Of A
Grumpy Old Woman
£4.49
It feels like only yesterday I was the youngest person in the room I had my whole life in front of me. I had time to burn I spent my whole day snogging boys & backcombing my hair. I was a young thing with a lovely body life was fun & I hadnt a care in the world. Now
- it feels like two minutes later
- Im a little bit old. OK Im not in elasticated stockings or on Meals on Wheels whizzing down the stairs on my stairlift but my life is more than half over. Ive been there done that got the packamac. Im so old that I remember dances with drum solos the arrival of unisex hairdressers & had a crush on Ilya Kuryakin. I am up at the top of the hill & over the other side again. What all this means is that I am grumpy. But Ive earnt it...I lived through Boney M & leg warmers & the Crossroads Motel. Obviously in a book this size I wouldnt be able to share with you ALL of my grumps. But Ive decided to write down some of the secret thoughts that beset a woman of a certain age some of the wicked things that occur to a woman who takes a lot of things to the dry cleaners has to have her roots done every four weeks & finds it hard to wear high heels. & guess what: they still fancy people still have silly little crushes on people at work still
- shock horror
- have sex. You will discover that women of a certain age are just as provocative & turned on as women in their twenties. Probably more so. So get over it. Middle-aged women are sexy funny & infinitely lovable. They are also taking over the world.
