Carnegie Publishing Ltd Great Liverpudlians: A Fascinating Journey Through the City's History and the People Who Made it
This is a Liverpool history with a difference. Packed with information, this lively book is not only about events but about people - our Great Liverpudlians - and the part they each played in shaping the city. There are many familiar faces, of course, but they stand shoulder to shoulder with the ordinary men and women who have made Liverpool what it is. And as well as bringing the unsung heroes and their interesting lives to our attention, Daily Post columnist David Charters has also dug deep to unearth less well known details about those famous names we all thought we knew everything about. Great Liverpudlians takes the reader on a wonderfully enjoyable journey through the city's past, introducing us to an array of colourful characters, from kings and politicians, to philanthropists, poets, musicians, comedians, sportsmen and women, barrow girls and clergy. All human life is here, as they say, and what is any great city if not the sum of its people?

Elliott & Thompson Limited Trust Me, Im a Banker
His wife has left him. He's tried to kill his boss. He's probably going to lose his job. His annual bonus was embarrassingly small. Could life get any worse for Dave Hart, anti-hero of the investment banking world? Following an unlikely turn of events on a Jamaican beach, Dave finds himself catapulted from zero to hero through the magic of the tabloid press. He's soon strutting into ailing German bank Grossbank, determined to shake up its fusty 'old school' banking and start taking some proper risks. And some drugs. And of course plenty of entertainment at the Pussy Cat Club. After all, we all need to wind down and investment bankers are more wound up than most. Trust Me, I'm a Banker is a brutal, sometimes cynical, but always hilarious take on the world of high finance which will delight fans and new readers alike.
