The Road to Wigan Pier authored by George Orwell (Eric Arthur Blair) was an autobiographical novel by the author written in those days of his life that we say struggling days. He was moving around from one city to the other and it were those days when he left his job at the Booklovers' Corner. A photograph taken by the esteemed photographer 'Ceridwen' of the Booklover's corner displaying a hoarding of Orwell is included in this edition.

The official account - complete with full-color illustrations - of how four ordinary people managed to expose the British government's hypocrisies through a nationwide guerrilla advertising campaign. Seeking to highlight the hypocrisy of their politicians on Brexit four friends armed with nothing more than ladders, roller brushes and a treasure trove of damning statements from their leaders slapped up the politicians' biggest lies on billboards around the country. This guerrilla operation wasn't easy, but it wasn't long before the British public enabled them to take things into their own hands - and the rest is history. Leave the EU or remain? An apparently simple question divided the nation in historic fashion. Many believed the words of these politicians. By putting up their quotes as billboards, self-styled 'Led By Donkeys' had clear intentions - to compare the promises that have been made across the years with the damning reality.

50th Anniversary Edition of Bruce Tulloh’s Four Million Footsteps - 2,876 miles, LA to NYC, 65 daysIt’s exactly fifty years since Bruce Tulloh broke the record for running across America. He died in April 2018 and as a family we thought republishing Four Million Footsteps, his account of that run, would be a fitting tribute to this slight but indomitable man. Bruce loved going on an adventure — let him share his greatest one with you.The original book, often described as “the greatest running book of all time”, is long out of print. If you are lucky, you may be able to find a small, battered paperback copy online (and it won’t be cheap!). Our new 50th Anniversary Edition will be a handsome thread-sewn hardback, beautifully designed and made, with 184 pages on substantial paper, printed and bound in Italy by specialists in high-quality book production.Additional material in the new edition includes- a foreword from Olympic gold medallist David Hemery CBE- a new overview of Bruce’s development as a runner from childhood onwards- new and previously unseen photographs unearthed from the family archive- extracts from the transcontinental log book that evidenced his daily progress (lost for thirty years, it reappeared at Bruce’s memorial)
