Cliff Richard

Foreword by Bob Stanley 
 
On a sunny Saturday morning in May 1956, a fifteen-year-old, then called Harry Webb, was mooching down Waltham Cross High Street. He heard some music blaring out of a parked car. It stopped him in his tracks. 
 
The song was 'Heartbreak Hotel' by Elvis Presley. It sounded like nothing he had ever heard before. In that instant, the schoolboy who was destined to take the hit parade by storm as Cliff Richard fell in love with rock and roll. It gave him the thrill, the purpose and the mission that has shaped his life ever since. 
 
Cliff lives in and for music. And with 65 years as a hitmaker, the music filling his head is a broad category. His soundtrack begins by blasting us all back into that first life-changing explosion of rock and roll, and also includes great soul stars such as Aretha Franklin, longtime colleagues like Elton John, and much-missed close friends Cilla Black and Olivia Newton-John. 
 
This book is meaningful to Cliff on many levels. The 30 or so songs here that make up the soundtrack to his life have each moved him deeply, but it's also about the legendary artists he met, and often got to know. He shares those stories and memories with you, too. 
 
A Head Full of Music is a vibrant personal journey for Cliff, and it's a joy to accompany him on it. Get wired for sound with him and read on.

Liverpool FC

With a foreword from Jurgen Klopp. 
 
&quot;I said when he was appointed, 'fasten your seatbelts and get ready for take-off,' and I wasn&rsquo;t wrong. He took us on some journey&quot; Sir Kenny Dalglish 
 
On 9 October 2015 swathes of Liverpool FC supporters gathered outside the Shankly Gates to listen to Jurgen Klopp&rsquo;s first press conference, where he confidently predicted a change in the team&rsquo;s fortunes after years of underperformance. Across the next nine years Jurgen would go on to revolutionise the club, creating a team of mentality monsters who would consistently deliver on his promises. 
 
In this revealing book, LFC turn to the players, club heroes and competitors who worked most closely with Jurgen to describe some of the most pivotal and memorable moments of his tenure. Mike Gordon explains what made Jurgen the perfect fit for LFC; James Milner describes how he set about transforming the club; Mo Salah and Virgil van Dijk outline how he convinced them to sign for him; Jordan Henderson reveals what he said in his team talk to inspire their legendary UEFA Champions League comeback against Barcelona in 2019; Sir Kenny Dalglish recalls the momentous 2019&ndash;2020 Premiere League season and how Jurgen ended the 30-year wait. Every story places readers at the heart of Jurgen Klopp&rsquo;s incredible LFC journey, and outlines the qualities that have enabled him to become one of the club's most revered and successful managers. 
 
Accompanied with stunning photographs from Liverpool FC&rsquo;s archive, this celebration describes the indelible mark that Jurgen Klopp has left and relates countless memories that LFC fans will cherish for years to come. 
 
&quot;The boss improved everything during his time here, everybody loved him, and he&rsquo;s been a great manager, that&rsquo;s plain to see. It&rsquo;s been incredible to play for him&quot; Mo Salah 
 
&quot;The greatest gift Jurgen gave to Liverpool was belief&quot; Jordan Henderson 
 
&quot;Rather than buy a team of superstars, Klopp built a team of superstars. He re-established Liverpool as one of the biggest and best clubs in Europe&quot; Jamie Carragher 
 
&quot;Jurgen&rsquo;s team helped us to arrive at our limits. This is the truth. They have been our biggest rival, our biggest opponent by far&quot; Pep Guardiola

Luke Evans

Growing up in a small village in the Rhymney Valley, Luke's life was shaped by his Jehovah's Witness upbringing, a path he'd eventually navigate to come out to his parents, knowing he risked losing them. In his raw and honest account, he shares his struggles of always feeling different and being bullied as a child, and his brave decision to leave home at just seventeen, searching for a new life and a place where he truly belonged. 
 
Starring first on the West End stages in iconic productions like Miss Saigon, Avenue Q, and Rent, he quickly captivated the hearts of audiences and caught the eye of Hollywood's elite, going on to secure roles in blockbuster films like The Hobbit, Beauty and the Beast, the Fast and Furious franchise, and Nine Perfect Strangers TV series. 
 
In this intimate memoir, Luke takes us behind the scenes of his career on the stage and screen. He writes beautifully of the relationship he now has with his family and the respect they all have for one another on their different paths. Luke's story is a powerful tale of resilience, courage, and the pursuit of finding a sense of belonging and identity.

A Life in Poems

Kevin Rowland

SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER 
 
A searingly honest memoir from Dexys’ iconic frontman, one of the great mavericks and creative geniuses of British music. 
 
At home, the prayerful eight-year-old altar boy was planning to attend college to train to be a priest. Elsewhere, he was thieving, lying, swearing, fighting and rarely out of trouble. 
 
In this astonishing memoir, Kevin takes us from the juvenile courts of his troubled teenage years to the early days of the New Romantic scene in the late ’70s. An unwavering passion for music and highly tuned sense of fashion and style ignited an unstoppable drive within him, compelling him down a path that led to his huge chart successes with Dexys Midnight Runners in the early 1980s. However, despite being celebrated as a creative genius, inner turmoil was never far away, and a terrifying series of self-sabotaging events were to follow – including a serious cocaine addiction – leaving him in the wilderness in the 1990s, bankrupt, living in a bedsit, on the dole. 
 
Always resilient in the face of adversity, after a massive upheaval Kevin found his way back. He charts his return journey, from shocking audiences with his pioneering embrace of gender fluidity with My Beauty, right through to Dexys’ triumphant appearance at Glastonbury in 2024. 
 
Vividly detailed, and with a truly rare degree of self-insight, this is Kevin's own, deeply personal account of an extraordinary life, raw and unvarnished. A remarkable memoir, as compelling and original as you would expect from one of the pioneering icons of music history.

THE NEW BOOK FROM GRAEME HALL, THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING DOGFATHER 
 
I've been training puppies for years and I am yet to come across one who behaved perfectly at all times. With this book I really wanted to be realistic about the expectations we should have when training a puppy and demystify the process with clear, simple advice, based on science and experience. 
 
In this stress-free guide you will learn how to: 
 
· Choose the right puppy for your lifestyle, including the benefits of a rescue dog 
· Introduce them to the family, other pets and children 
· Tackle separation anxiety 
· Train your puppy, while building understanding and trust 
· Socialise them, so they grow into a happy, well-adjusted dog 
· Prevent behavioural problems later in life 
 
I love working with puppies because there is so much potential to make a lasting difference to a dog's life and to their owner's. If you can get it right (or right-ish), you are paving the way for a lifetime of reliably good behaviour. 
 
Happy training!

Paloma Faith

***THE INSTANT NUMBER ONE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER***'The most raw, funny and liberating look at what it is to be a woman.' – FEARNE COTTON 
 
‘Paloma is a storyteller like no other. Empowering and healing – a whole generation of women are about to feel SEEN!’ – GIOVANNA FLETCHER 
 
'Gritty, funny, poetic and freeing.' – ANNA MATHUR, Psychotherapist and bestselling author 
 
'A tremendous book, both entertaining and important' – The i newspaper 
 
Can women 'have it all'? 
What does it mean to be a woman and a mother in the modern age? 
 
In this passionate, funny and fierce polemic, Paloma Faith delves deep into the 
issues that face women today, from puberty and sexual awakenings, to battling 
through the expectations of patriarchy and the Supermum myth. 
 
Infused with Paloma's characteristic humour, and raw honesty about the 
challenges of IVF and the early years of motherhood, this book is a beautiful 
celebration of women's work and the invisible load women carry. Moving from 
questions around identity and how motherhood impacts on that, to what it even 
means to be a 'good mother', how we need to embrace messiness, 
imperfection and the bittersweet pleasures of being 'selfish', and putting 
ourselves first. 
 
Paloma invites us into her own coming of age and relationship with her mum, to 
explore how our bonds with our children evolve into adulthood. We see a 
glimpse of the complexities and joys of Paloma's experience of juggling 
romantic love, heartbreak and dating with the demands of motherhood.

Chris Harris

'What defines the car-saddo condition is not being able to recall a time when the toy-car-era of your life actually ended. Because for us sufferers, it never does.' 
 
Nobody knows cars like Chris Harris does. He calls it 'unhinged geekery', but the rest of the world call it infectious enthusiasm, adrenaline fuelled escapism and rigorous journalistic integrity. 
 
And then there are his famous skills at the wheel, from city cars to rally cars, not forgetting the Guinness World Record 3.4km sideways in an electric car. 
 
And now for the first time, Harris takes us down the road of his lifelong obsession with the automobile - along surprising diversions, around hazards and obstructions, down the fast lane collecting Gs and back to the lock-up to prep the stock. 
 
From the six-year-old who could recite the stats from What Car? magazine to the YouTube car guru whose honest reviews got him banned by Ferrari. From the Scalextric track of his childhood, to podiums as a racing driver out in the world. From behind his garage doors to the floodlit Top Gear studio. 
 
Variable Valve Timings brings you an incredibly engaging story of adventure and petrolhead joy, told with wit, warmth and disarming honesty. This book is a true one-off, just like Chris.

Achieving the Impossible

Mark Goldbridge

It doesn't really matter who you support. Football is a cruel, cruel game. All of us fans have had moments of shock, disappointment, and feeling like a right knobhead. We want our teams to play like winners who&rsquo;ll fight for the badge to their last breath. More often, there's so many clowns on the pitch we think the circus is in town. We've endured abject surrenders in the pissing down rain, watched multi-millionaire managers lose the plot, and signed players who couldn't pass a parcel, all to the sound of Michael Owen's 'expert' analysis. Season after bloody season. It stings so much your team might as well be sponsored by Dettol. Why do we do it to ourselves? 
 
There&rsquo;s a lot to love I guess. Nothing will ever emulate the high that a major win or seeing your team lift a trophy brings. Take Manchester United winning the treble: footballing perfection. And nothing else will ever come close. Life doesn&rsquo;t get any better than that. 
 
As I talk you through everything from transfers to trophies to touchline tantrums, join me as I give my definitive take on football. There's a lot to get through, so take my hand like an over-eager mascot and walk with me out of the tunnel into the glaring floodlights of what it means to be a fan&hellip; 
 
&hellip;and how to survive it.

Ray Mears

Nobody sees and understands woodland better than Ray Mears. 
 
With deep natural history knowledge and practical woodcraft skills, gained over a lifetime of learning from the world's last remaining indigenous peoples, Ray offers a different way to experience our wooded landscapes. He challenges the old concepts. He looks to our ancestors and shows how man's hand in shaping woodland is critical. We are not separate from nature, we just need to ensure that our interactions have a positive impact. 
 
With the emphasis on interaction, British Woodland is structured by usage. We learn that sycamore and clematis are among the best woods for burning, pine and oak help us navigate, and hawthorn and beech have edible leaves. Rope can be made from willow, utensils and tools from hazel, and historically, weapons were made from yew and wych elm. 
 
With Ray as our guide, encouraging this sense of connection to individual trees, our appreciation of wooded landscapes will change. We can learn how to live inclusively in nature, for our own wellbeing and enjoyment, and also for the future of our planet.

Geoff Hurst

And here comes Hurst. He's got... Some people are on the pitch. They think it's all over. It is now. It's four! 
 
Geoff Hurst's extraordinary hat trick turned him into a global superstar overnight. There is no player in the history of the game so universally identified with a single match. 
 
But the full story of the nation's biggest ever sporting victory is about much more than those final moments. Here Geoff remembers his teammates, the times they spent on and off the pitch, the extraordinary journey they went on together, what football meant to each of them, their work ethic, their culture of team loyalty, their continued bond over the decades. 
 
The enormous salaries paid to today's Premier League stars means that when they finish playing, few will ever have to work again. The 1966 team never had that option. They were payed &pound;60 per match, and received a &pound;1,000 bonus for winning. Most tried, and failed, to become successful managers, with Jack Charlton being a notable exception. Twenty years after they scored the England goals in the final, Geoff and Martin Peters were selling motor insurance. Ray Wilson was an undertaker. 
 
Yet all remained aware they achieved something on 30th July 1966 which may never be repeated, and did so staying close to their roots. The day after the final Alan Ball stopped at a motorway cafe on the M6. One or two people asked to see his winner's medal, then left him to his egg and chips. Geoff mowed the lawn. 'That's what you did on a Sunday'. 
 
In Last Boy of 66 our 1966 hat-trick hero takes us back to those very different days. A definitive and important eye-witness account, to be treasured by fans and historians for generations to come.

Melvyn Downes

A frightened boy pursued by racist bullies who grew up to become a trailblazing soldier in the British Army and then the SAS, Melvyn Downes was one of the first British-born Black men to join the elite regiment. During his 24 years of service, he was involved in secret missions across more than 50 countries and since leaving active duty has travelled to some of the world’s most dangerous places, protecting charity workers and journalists amidst natural disasters and in brutal conflict zones. 
 
In this gripping memoir, Melvyn takes us behind enemy lines and onto the front line of war, never shying away from the darker side of what he endured, such as losing friends, experiencing psychological traumas and facing racial harassment head-on. Yet, he believes that with the right willpower and mindset, anyone can overcome life's challenges. 
 
Melvyn wasn’t born fearless, strong or confident; these traits were forged through hard work, a willingness to learn from his mistakes and a desire to push himself out of his comfort zone. Inspired by the founding principles of the SAS – humility, integrity, humour, classlessness and the unrelenting pursuit of excellence – Melvyn embodies these values in every aspect of his life. And in Unbreakable, he shows that you don’t need to be a soldier to follow these ideas – we can all use them to build resilience when life throws us curveballs, and to live a life without limits.
