Etat : Very Good. A copy that has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. The Guardian publishes over forty thousand reader comments a day below the line. This is a miscellany of the best and most baffling thoughts from their witty, well-meaning readers. In the book, Guardian readers ponder the big questions ('Am I the only one who thinks that ham and cheese is a ghastly mix?') reflect with nostalgia on better days ('Airline employees were so much more agreeable back when they were all drunk') and share hard-won wisdom ('Dishwashers make lousy salmon poachers'). This book is best enjoyed with a soy latte in hand and yoga mat under the arm. Please store in an eco-friendly tote bag.

Etat : Good. 'A drawing of the world when I was young.' So Gwen Raverat, the grand-daughter of Charles Darwin, described Period Piece, her classic memoir of a Cambridge childhood, which since its initial publication in 1952 has never been out of print. Vividly evoking a bygone era, it is a shrewd, touching and comic portrait of her eccentric relations, and of Cambridge society in a time when it was restricted enough to be treated as an extension of the family. As a child she thought it impossible that she would ever succeed as an artist, and yet the observations of the small incidents in her life, recorded here both in word and drawing, reveal an artist's careful eye.

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. This updated edition of the bestselling and wildly popular I Am the Secret Footballer features a new introduction and an additional chapter. The anony mous writer of The Guardian's "Secret Footballer" column gives Premiere Lea gue fans an insider's look into the unseen world of professional football. It is often said that 95% of what happens in football takes place behind cl osed doors. Many of these stories I shouldn't be telling you. But I will. Who is The Secret Footballer? Only a few people know the true identity of t he man inside the game. Whoever he is-and whatever team he plays for-TSF is always honest, fearless and opinionated. Here he takes readers past the lo cker-room door and reveals the inner-workings of a professional club, the e xhilarating highs and crushing lows and what it's really like to do the job most of us can only dream of doing. TSF chronicles the exploits of his Premiership colleagues with a gimlet eye and frank humour. Managers, agents and players are not spared from his observations-their mindsets, their relationships with those outside the sport, their behaviour good and bad. In his inimitable style, TSF recounts entertaining and eyebrow-raising vignettes, naming names and dropping colourful details along the way.

Paperback. Etat : Good. The stories in "Midnight All Day" show a contemporary master at the top of his form, acclaimed by one reviewer for his depiction of 'a lost generation of men: those shaped by the sixties, disoriented by the eighties and beref t of a personal and political map in the nineties'. We are unerring in our choice of lovers, particularly when we require the wrong person. There is a n instinct, magnet or aerial which seeks the unsuitable. The wrong person i s, of course, right for something - to punish, bully, or humiliate us, let us down, leave us for dead, or, worst of all, give us the impression that t hey are not inappropriate, but almost right, thus hanging us in love's limb o. Not just anyone can do this. In this astonishing collection of stories, Hanif Kureishi confirms his reputation as Britain's foremost chronicler of the loveless, the lost and the dispossessed. The characters in "Midnight Al l Day" are familiar to all of us: frustrated and intoxicated, melancholic a nd sensitive, yet capable of great cruelty, and, if necessary, willing to b reak the constraints of an old life to make way for the new.

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. A copy that has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. In a hard-boiled city of crooks, grifts and rackets lurk a pair of toughs: Box and _____. They're the kind of men capable of extracting apologies and reparations, of teaching you a chilling lesson. They seldom think twice, and ask very few questions. Until one night over the poker table, they encounter a pulp writer with wild ideas and an unscrupulous private detective, leading them into what is either a classic mystery, a senseless maze of corpses, or an inextricable fever dream . . . Drunk on cinematic and literary influence, Muscle is a slice of noir fiction in collapse, a ceaselessly imaginative story of violence, boredom and madness.

With global attention on both the London Marathon in April 2012 and the London Olympics in the summer, there has never been a more exciting time to experience what it is really like to train and race with the stars of dist ance running.

'It's now becoming easier and easier to predict government policy. Just lis ten to what the prime minister said in the morning and the opposite is like ly to be true come the middle of the afternoon.' Throughout another year of bluster and bedlam in Westminster, John Crace's brilliantly acerbic political sketches have once more provided the nation w ith a much-needed injection of humour. In A Farewell to Calm, Crace introduces an infectiously funny selection of his finest pieces from 2020-21, taking in everything from a summer of unfat homable U-turns to Christmas Covid confusion, and from lockdown-lifting to Brexit blithering. Led by Boris's poundshop Churchill tribute act, and featuring a cast of everyone's least favourite pantomime villains, from Classic Dom Cummings to Door Matt Hancock, the end result is a brilliantly entertaining chronicle of another tumultuous year on these benighted islands.

A chance encounter leads young Jim Stringer, a railway porter, to move from Yorkshire to London, enticed by the prospect of working his way up to driving expresses, and becoming a railway man 'of the right sort'. But when he arrives in the Waterloo of 1903, it is to discover a world of garish pubs and tawdry brothels boxed in by towering, blank-faced factories - a world which judders perpetually to the din of the trains on the giant viaducts overhead. Jim, set to work cleaning locomotives, finds that his duties are mysteriously confined to the strangest corner of the South Western's business: a railway line that runs to an enormous cemetery. Still more perplexingly, the men he works alongside in the cold, clattering engine shed have formed an instant loathing for him. And his predecessor has disappeared under suspicious circumstances. Can Jim work out what is going on before he too is travelling on a one way coffin ticket aboard the Necropolis Railway? A murder mystery fabulously rich in atmosphere and period detail, The Necropolis Railway is a gripping detective story which steams toward an unexpected climax.

Faber Stories, a landmark series of individual volumes, presents masters of the short story form at work in a range of genres and styles. In his masterful story 'A River in Egypt', David Means paints a portrait of a moment. Cavanaugh and his young son are suspended; trapped in what a nur se calls 'the sweat chamber', where the boy will be tested for cystic fibro sis. Cavanaugh has brought distractions - spasmodic action figures, malformed to y trucks - but they do little to alter the frustration of the sick child sc reaming, or to alleviate the anxiety of the time spent waiting for 'some ex actitude in the form of a diagnosis'. Bringing together past, present and future in our ninetieth year, Faber Stories is a celebratory compendium of collectable work.
