Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. The 1971 British Lions tour of New Zealand was a historic and yet-to-be repeated event: they beat the mighty All Blacks, who were captained by the fearsome Colin Meads and had great players like Sid Going and Ian Kirkpatrick in their team, on their own turf by two Tests to one. After the victorious squad had returned home, the Lions' captain John Dawes had the idea of convening a conference at which key members of his team would discuss the latest trends in rugby and share the fruits of their experience on how they beat the greatest side on earth. The result was one of the most fascinating and original books ever published about the game, which, 34 years on and with a current Lions squad departing for New Zealand under Sir Clive Woodward, Aurum are now re-issuing in a treasurable miniature hardback edition. In some respects this is a touching period piece, about a bygone era of the game when everyone was amateur, sides were away on tour for months - and without the benefit of a vast backroom staff of nutritionists and motivators - and players had one pair of boots (their own) to last a whole tour, and the full-back kicked goals by lovingly building a large mud tee and then punting the ball with his toe.

Paperback. Zustand: Fine. The incredible biography of the most famous steam locomotive in the world. Think of the Golden Age of Steam and one train leaps to mind above all others: the Flying Scotsman, Nigel Gresleys elegant masterpiece of a locomotive. She broke the world speed record in 1934 and has enthralled millions with her beauty and power. Uniquely, her post-war career has been even more varied and exciting than her early triumphs. Now Andrew Roden tells the Scotsmans remarkable story, from her construction and the glory days between the wars through the decline of steam and her rollercoaster fortunes in the subsequent years: nearly abandoned on a tour of the United States after the money ran out, crossing the Australian interior, then put up for sale yet again when the company that owned her went bankrupt in 2003. A massive public campaign saved her for the nation and the Flying Scotsmans restoration began in 2005 at the National Railway Museum. With the aid of numerous interviews with those involved with the Scotsman over the years, Roden brings her story memorably to life. Above all, he asks: why do grown men risk their life savings to own her? Why do thousands of people still line the trackside when shes due to race past? And just what is the eternal appeal of the Flying Scotsman?.

Paperback. Zustand: Fair. For 15 years Michael Winner has been reviewing restaurants in The Sunday Times. His column remains the most read and most controversial and is a shining star of original comments.

Some 400 restaurants and hotels are listed in the United Kingdom and abroad. Written in his own inimitable style and presenting facts on food, service and ambience, always in the outrageously subjective manner that we've come to know and love, Winner's Dinners is not only witty, controversial and bitingly truthful, it will also give any reader the confidence to visit a previously untried restaurant and know that they will enjoy a good meal. 'Michael Winner is the scourge of sloppy waiters, the man who could explode at the drop of a frozen eclair. The Winner guides are one of the finest pieces of comic writing.' Victoria Mather Film Director, author, critic and gourmet, Michael Winner is famous for the many films he has directed featuring major Hollywood stars, but also for his acerbic and outspoken Winner's Dinners column in The Sunday Times, and for his witty esure TV commercials.
