I love every page of this book and recently I went to her only british book signing at Waterstones and I could not decide which page I wanted her to sign! (She is even more beautiful and amazing in person!!!) Buy it and then treasure this book forever, if you love Dita, Burlesque, old movie star glamour, lingerie....anything girly!

One of the best biographies i have ever read. Beautifully written and fascinating even for someone like me who had little previous interest in either architecture or the nineteenth century.

93.If This Is a Man / The Truce by: Primo Levi January 01, 1991
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £9.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £6.59 You Save: £3.40 (34%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £4.59
If you want to understand the holocaust, how and why it happened, then you need to read If This Is A Man. Levi dispenses with his emotional responses and describes what happened with a frightening detachment. Through his eyes, Levi shows us how the Nazi machine sought to rob their victims of all vestiges of their humanity and thereby justify their treatment of the camp victims. This in turn led to the horrible events that we all know so well. Levi, however, does not just aim to show us the horror of the events, but understand them. Thus, amongst the debasement of life in the camps, we see how necessary it becomes to bathe with dirty water - not to clean yourself, but to regain fragments of your own humanity. This book is essential if we are ... Read More:

95.When a Crocodile Eats the Sun by: Peter Godwin November 02, 2007

Peter Godwin was born in Rhodesia, and in 1996 he published 'Makiwa', a gripping account of how he grew up in that country. He was conscripted into the Rhodesian army to fight against the independence movement, by which time he felt that he was fighting in an unjust cause. He eventually got to England, became a journalist, and in 1981, now based in the United States, he returned to what in 1980 had become independent Zimbabwe, partly because his parents were still living there and partly because he loved the country and its people. But he now had to record that the new government of Robert Mugabe was more savage than the white government had been and was carrying out bloody suppression in Matabeleland - a sign of things to come. Godwin's reporting at ... Read More:

96.In Search of Robert Millar: Unravelling the Mystery Surrounding Britain's Most Successful Tour de France Cyclist: Unravelling the Mystery Surrounding Britain's Most Successful Tour De France Cyclist by: Richard Moore June 02, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £8.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £4.94 You Save: £4.05 (45%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £4.55
Have to agree with all the rest of the reviews, simply a great story of Millars' life. A fantastic cyclist, who gave joy to a great many with his epic climbs. He obviously was intelligent and committed during his career, and if he wishes to remain out of the public eye now, then one hopes he gets his wish. Why this was not shortlisted for the William Hill Sports Book Award 2007 (let alone win it) I'll never understand. Have read a couple of the shortlisted books (including the winner) and they just don't compare.

I read about this case in the newspapers , so when I saw this book being advertised, I knew I had to buy it and see if the foster mother, was as evil as they made out. And yes she is, my only dissapointment was that she only got 14 years in prison. She should have been hung !!! pity the death sentance is no longer used ! Good Luck to Chris, Karen and Lulu in whatever you do. x

100.This is Not About Me by: Janice Galloway September 01, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £16.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £11.89 You Save: £5.10 (30%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £9.55
I loved this book. It was both subtle and descriptive. The ability to write about such a poverty stricken life without any hint of pity-searching, shows how great a talent Galloway is. I truly recommend this for a piece of hidden Scottish social history. It is not glamorized misery lit, it is a tale of a child's wonder and wit, whilst waiting to mature.
