Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Gable was perceived as the archetypal Hollywood superman, the kind of man that women lusted after and their husbands envied. However, as David Bret reveals in this powerful biography, in the early days of his career, with his squinty teeth and fondness for men as well as woman, he was anything but the wholesome figure he appeared. Gable was adopted by the 'Sewing Circle' - the group that included Jean Harlow and, ironically, Carole Lombard, the great love of his life. Bret also reveals how Gable's wartime 'heroics', which saw him promoted through the ranks from Private to Major in less than a year, were no more than an elaborate publicity stunt. Like an earlier paternity suit, it was an exercise dreamed up by studio chief, Louis B. Mayer to promote and protect Gable's image. After ending an affair with Ben Maddox in 1942, Gable seems to have 'gone straight', from which point Bret moves into more familiar territory, focusing on Gable's great movies including Gone With the Wind and on his affairs with Joan Crawford, Ava Gardner and other famous stars. Drawing on a wealth of unpublished material, Bret pulls no punches in this star-studded story of Gable's life, told with candour and panache. David Bret is one of Britain's leading showbusiness biographers, and an authority on the chanson. His many highly successful books incllde: Edth Piaf, Joan Crawford, Jean Harlow, Errol Flynn and the soon to be published Mario Lanza (all from JR Books). The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Grey horses have a special charisma - indeed, there are now even whole races dedicated to them. But Desert Orchid was also an astounding record breaker - winner of the Cheltenham Gold Cup, the Whitbread Gold Cup, the Irish Grand National, and an extraordinary four-times victor in the prestigious Queen Mother Chase at Kempton Park on Boxing Day. His triumphs, and his rare failures, became front-page news: he is unquestionably the only horse in Britain to have attained a kind of rock-star celebrity. Though he ran his last race in 1990, his fame is such that at the age of 24 he still puts in regular personal appearances at Cheltenham on Gold Cup Day and Kempton on Boxing Day, unquestionably as one of the biggest stars of the show. Richard Burridge has been Desert Orchid's owner from the beginning; this is his inside story of one of the bravest horses British racing has ever seen.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. TENTH ANNIVERSARY EDITION Now in its tenth year, this anniversary edition of thebest-selling seriesis a review of the year made up of the wry and astute observations of the unpublished Telegraph letter writers. In a year in which even the most seasoned commentators have struggled to keep pace with the news cycle, letter writers to The Daily Telegraph have once again provided their refreshing take on events. Readers of the Telegraph Letters Page will be fondly aware of the eclectic combination of learned wisdom, wistful nostalgia and robust good sense that characterise its correspondence. But what of the 95% of the papers huge postbag that never sees the light of day? Some of the best letters inevitably arrive too late for the 24/7 news cycle, or dont quite fit with the rest of the days selection. Others are just a little too whimsical, or indeed too risque, to publish in a serious newspaper. And more than a few are completely and utterly (and wonderfully) mad. Thankfully Iain Hollingshead is on-hand to give the authors of the best unpublished letters the stage they so richly deserve. Baffled, furious, defiant, mischievous, they inveigh and speculate on every subject under the sun, from the rubbish on television these days to the venality of our MPs. With an agenda as enticing as ever the tenth book in the bestselling Unpublished Letters series will prove, once again, that the Telegraphs readers have an astute sense of what really matters. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Who would not want to sit down with Jane Austen and join her in a cup of tea? Here for the first time is a book that shares the secrets of one of her favorite rituals. Tea figures prominently in Jane Austen's life and work. At the centre of almost every social situation in her novels one finds tea. In Emma, does Miss Bates drink coffee? Of course not: 'No coffee, I thank you, for me-never take coffee.-A little tea if you please.' In Pride and Prejudice, what is one of the supreme honours Mr. Collins can envision Lady Catherine bestowing on Elizabeth Bennet and her friends? Why, drinking tea with her, naturally. Tea with Jane Austen begins with tea drinking in the morning and ends with tea in the evening, at balls and other gatherings. Each chapter includes a description of how tea was taken at a particular place or time of day, along with history, recipes, excerpts from Austen's novels and letters and illustrations from the time. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. The direction history takes has often hinged on tiny turns of chance or accident. Things that happen just at the wrong time. Small incidents that end up having big consequences. For example, Communist jets were two minutes away from opening fire on American planes during the peak of the Cuban Missile crisis when they had to turn back as they were running out of fuel. Napoleon's Haemorrhoids is all about the small events that make you stop and think how it all might have turned out - luck, coincidence, fate: the tiny ripples that have caused big waves in history's waters. Did you know: the Panama Canal would have been built in Nicaragua had it not been for a picture on one of its postage stamps.? Covering not just the great sweeps of political history and war, but chance discoveries that led to great inventions and scientific progress, the accidents that led to feats of literature and film, little slips that gave away big crimes, slip-ups that altered sporting history, and a medley of chance beginnings, this little book is a treasure trove of fascinating facts. If you've ever wondered why history turned out the way it has, and thought there must be some big design behind it - think again.Specialising for over 30 years in collecting stories of the bizarre from around the world, Phil Mason has amassed one of the country's largest private collections of cuttings and books chronicling the weird and the strange. His books includeWould You Believe It?, and Mission Accomplished with Mathew Parris, a compilation of misplaced predictions by parliamentarians. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. It is what millions of people in Britain wake up to every morning: the radio programme that starts their day, and sends them off to the office or to take the children to school infuriated, amused, exasperated, eniightened - but above ail informed. Though you might frown at the blood sport of John Humphreys interrogating a hapless cabinet minister, or wince at the homespun philosophising of 'Thought for the Day', Today could no more be dispensed with than the first cup of coffee. It is listened to in Downing Street, in far-flung British embassies, and by foreign ambassadors to the UK seeking to gauge the national mood. So how have these three hours of radio, from six till nine, come to assume such a central part of British political, cultural - and indeed everyday - life? Now, Tim Lucknurst, himself once a producer of the programme, has written the most authoritative anatomy of the phenomenon that is Today. He reveals how what we nowadays value for its hard news exposes and political interrogations began life as an undistinguished miscellany of light news under the avuncular Jack DeManio. He traces Today's move to the political centre-stage back to the Thatcherite eighties, when radical and ruthless social upheaval found its match in the unabashed truculence of Brian Redhead. He evaluates less-universally-venerated Today traditions like 'Thought for the Day' (accused of cosiness and even homophobia) and 'Person of the Year' (frequently fixed). And he unearths obscure Today landmarks like Sue MacGregor's leather trousers and the self-operated studio behind the Scottish newsagents where Alan Beith can be interviewed at 5.30 in the morning. But above all he considers the power that the Today programme has come to wield in the national agenda, and the consequent huge pressures on the BBC from a political establishment seeking to limit or control its influence. This is Today.therefore shows the alarming extent of New Labour's obsession with the programme, and Alastair Campbell's attempts to spin its output favourably; it discovers, fascinatingly, how Mrs Thatcher came to be so abreast of Today's daily coverage that one morning she rang in to insist on being interviewed; and it paints the unedifying battleground created when the Today programme has to cover a modern General Election. Controversial and trenchant, in the genre of books like Servants of the People, This is Today.is a superb work of contemporary history. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. 'A hint of buttercups on the nose'.'A lively little wine with a winsome sense of humour'.'Oh, you can't drink this with that'.There is a certain, all-too-widespread way of talking and writing about wine that is both enormously infuriating and utterly incomprehensible. Why can't someone cut through all the pretension and the flowery language for once, and tell us the things we really want to know? Do you actually get a much better bottle of wine if you pay much more for it? Do the supermarket chains, with their vast bulk-buying power, really offer the best bargains? Why are classic wines like Chianti. Muscadet and Rioja so often disappointing? Is champagne worth the money? Can you truly taste the difference between some of the world's most popular wines? And does it honestly matter which wines you drink with which foods? In You Heard It Through the Grapevine, one of Britain's most iconoclastic and witty wine writers takes the wine industry to task, and provides answers for everyone who stands in Sainsbury's wondering what to buy. But Stuart Walton's acerbic study goes further, for such issues are merely symptoms of an industry both adapting to, and sometimes taking advantage of, our huge and still-growing interest in drinking wine. He looks at how the industrial quantities we now drink necessitate industrial production methods, with sometimes a consequently industrial taste. He argues that the rise of the globe-trotting wine-maker, offering his or her consultancy to wineries from California to Australia, risks a homogenisation of world wine. He questions the lucrative profession of the wine critic, posing as an impartial authority while unable to resist the high fees offered to plug the big retailers' own selections. And he takes a decidedly dim view of the pitiful choice on offer and outrageous prices charged for the privilege of having wine in a restaurant. Waspish, satirical and frequently very funny, separating the premier vintage from the frightful slosh, You Heard It Through the Grapevine applies the acid test to today's wine business, and finds all too often a very nasty taste in the mouth.

Book
Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Recently returned from the dead - see book for details - Alan Coren finds that the world has changed little in his absence. Threatened by Josef Mengele's poisoned chickens, children still turn to Winston Churchill to save them from school dinners, Clark Gable snuggles, as ever, against the bristly chest of his lover Errol Flynn (despite having been captured on video by the entire British delegation of a Hong Kong sales conference), and, though the NHS budget has soared to record heights, hysterectomies throughout the queendom continue to be performed by enthusiastic poulterers.As for Coren himself, despite bearing the distinguished rank of full colonel in the Confederate Air Force, he remains plagued by recurrent nightmares that his membership of the P.G. Wodehouse Society has been poached by a Polish imposter in spats. Nightmares can get that way if your every waking moment is infested with worries about the American takeover of HP Sauce.Nevertheless, England's best-loved living humourist - and, until quite recently, best-loved dead one, too - has still found time between these covers to explain why Cannon and Ball have relaunched themselves as Pride and Prejudice, to work out that if J. K. Rowling had put all her Harry Potter income on Archer's Folly in the 3.15 at Haydock Park she would be richer than Bill Gates, and to reveal exactly why he took Princess Michael of Kent to see the smuttiest statue in London.For that is the world in which Alan Coren, by a stroke of luck, lives. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
