	BATT, JOHN Stolen Innocence : A Mother's Fight for Justice: The Authorised Story of Sally Clark 2004. (ISBN: 0091900700) Hard Cover, 12mo - over 6" - 7" tall. Synopsis To lose one child is terrible; to lose two is unimaginable. For no one to believe that you are innocent of their deaths and to be imprisoned because of it must be unbearable. Yet, this is the reality Sally Clark had to face. The daughter of a policeman, wife of a solicitor and a solicitor herself, she suddenly found the system that she had upheld all her life turning against her. Justice suddenly seemed a far-off principle as she was convicted and her initial appeal quashed. Her family, lawyers and various volunteers were relentless in their fight to clear her name. Following three long years in prison, Sally Clark was finally acquitted by the Court of Appeal in 2003. As Lord Justice Judge said, 'Unless we are sure of guilt, the dreadful possibility always remains that a mother, already brutally scarred by the unexplained deaths of her babies, may find herself in prison for life for killing them when she should not be there at all.' Written with the power of a thriller, the book reveals the Kafka-esque nightmare of being on the wrong side of the law. But ultimately, it's an uplifting story of one family's gutsy fight for what they knew to be right. Good - Some Yellowing to Pages/Good - Crease to Cover.

	FATSIS, STEFAN Word Freak : Heartbreak, Triumph, Genius, and Obsession in the World of Competitive Scrabble 2001. (ISBN: 0224060600) Hard Cover, 8vo - over 7Â¾" - 9Â¾" tall. For many, Scrabble is merely a board game. For others it is an intellectual pilgrimage, a balancing act between language and mathematics, simultaneously joyful and frustrating. In Word Freak Stefan Fatsis charts the history and theory of the game alongside his own rise from living-room player to competitive shark, and affords us a glimpse into the extraordinary world of the brilliant geeks and misfit savants who populate the highest ranks of the game. The top Scrabble players marshal the weird, hidden forces of the mind in their quest for greatness; they form cliques and petty jealousies; schadenfraude is a popular sensation; their favourite noise is that of a shaking bag of small tiles. In an effort to understand the depth of obsession plumbed by the players, Fatsis meets experts in neurochemistry, memory, linguistics and probability, as well as those players who form Scrabbleâ€™s darker underworld. Witty and profound, Word Freak is about sports and competition, the human mind and its interior workings, drive, desire and loneliness. And huge lists of words with no meaning at all. Good/Good.

	GORDIMER, NADINE Living in Hope and History: Notes from Our Century Gordonsville, Virginia, U.S.A. Farrar Straus & Giroux. 1999. (ISBN: 0374189919) Hard Cover, 8vo - over 7Â¾" - 9Â¾" tall. "Nothing I write in such factual pieces will be as true as my fiction," Nadine Gordimer asserts in the opening essay of Living in Hope and History. It's hard to think of any line that would inspire less confidence in a book of nonfiction. But the author, after all, is a Nobel laureate, an antiapartheid activist, an African National Congress member and a public figure of unimpeachable moral seriousness--and her warning is no piece of postmodern playfulness. Instead she means to draw an important distinction between genres. Nonfiction, in Gordimer's view, issues from her own political agenda, while her transcendent aim in fiction is to represent the way things are. The two impulses may overlap, of course, but they are seldom congruent. She's quick to acknowledge that writers can't truly escape politics, nor would it be desirable if they could. Still, writes Gordimer, "the transformation of the imagination must never 'belong' to any establishment, however just, fought-for, and longed-for.". Good/Good.

	GUPTA, RAHILA Circle of Light Harper Collins. 1997. (ISBN: 0006383297) Soft Cover, 12mo - over 6" - 7" tall. Born into a privileged family in India, Kiranjit Ahluwalia came to England in 1979 to be married to a man she had met only once. The next ten years were to be a nightmare of almost daily, physical, mental and sexual violence at the hands of her husband. Isolated by a society in which wife-beating was regarded as a normal part of life, Kiranjit, in desperation, killed the man who had tortured her for so long. Bewildered, poorly advised and speaking little English, she was sentenced to life imprisonment for murder. In prison, she unexpectedly found a degree of freedom she had never known in the outside world. For the first time she was safe from beatings and abuse, and was able to make friends with other women - including Sara Thornton, still imprisoned for an offence similar to her own. Meanwhile, a campaign to secure a retrial was gathering momentum. Media coverage of her plight had made Kiranjit something of a "cause celebre", and she was attracting many prominent supporters. The case against her was finally dismissed in September 1992, and she was released amid scenes of rejoicing. Good - Small Mark to End Pages/Good - A Little Wear.

	FATSIS, STEFAN Word Freak : Heartbreak, Triumph, Genius, and Obsession in the World of Competitive Scrabble 2001. (ISBN: 0224060600) Hard Cover, 8vo - over 7Â¾" - 9Â¾" tall. For many, Scrabble is merely a board game. For others it is an intellectual pilgrimage, a balancing act between language and mathematics, simultaneously joyful and frustrating. In Word Freak Stefan Fatsis charts the history and theory of the game alongside his own rise from living-room player to competitive shark, and affords us a glimpse into the extraordinary world of the brilliant geeks and misfit savants who populate the highest ranks of the game. The top Scrabble players marshal the weird, hidden forces of the mind in their quest for greatness; they form cliques and petty jealousies; schadenfraude is a popular sensation; their favourite noise is that of a shaking bag of small tiles. In an effort to understand the depth of obsession plumbed by the players, Fatsis meets experts in neurochemistry, memory, linguistics and probability, as well as those players who form Scrabbleâ€™s darker underworld. Witty and profound, Word Freak is about sports and competition, the human mind and its interior workings, drive, desire and loneliness. And huge lists of words with no meaning at all. Good/Good.

	GORDIMER, NADINE Living in Hope and History: Notes from Our Century Gordonsville, Virginia, U.S.A. Farrar Straus & Giroux. 1999. (ISBN: 0374189919) Hard Cover, 8vo - over 7Â¾" - 9Â¾" tall. "Nothing I write in such factual pieces will be as true as my fiction," Nadine Gordimer asserts in the opening essay of Living in Hope and History. It's hard to think of any line that would inspire less confidence in a book of nonfiction. But the author, after all, is a Nobel laureate, an antiapartheid activist, an African National Congress member and a public figure of unimpeachable moral seriousness--and her warning is no piece of postmodern playfulness. Instead she means to draw an important distinction between genres. Nonfiction, in Gordimer's view, issues from her own political agenda, while her transcendent aim in fiction is to represent the way things are. The two impulses may overlap, of course, but they are seldom congruent. She's quick to acknowledge that writers can't truly escape politics, nor would it be desirable if they could. Still, writes Gordimer, "the transformation of the imagination must never 'belong' to any establishment, however just, fought-for, and longed-for.". Good/Good.

	GUPTA, RAHILA Circle of Light Harper Collins. 1997. (ISBN: 0006383297) Soft Cover, 12mo - over 6" - 7" tall. Born into a privileged family in India, Kiranjit Ahluwalia came to England in 1979 to be married to a man she had met only once. The next ten years were to be a nightmare of almost daily, physical, mental and sexual violence at the hands of her husband. Isolated by a society in which wife-beating was regarded as a normal part of life, Kiranjit, in desperation, killed the man who had tortured her for so long. Bewildered, poorly advised and speaking little English, she was sentenced to life imprisonment for murder. In prison, she unexpectedly found a degree of freedom she had never known in the outside world. For the first time she was safe from beatings and abuse, and was able to make friends with other women - including Sara Thornton, still imprisoned for an offence similar to her own. Meanwhile, a campaign to secure a retrial was gathering momentum. Media coverage of her plight had made Kiranjit something of a "cause celebre", and she was attracting many prominent supporters. The case against her was finally dismissed in September 1992, and she was released amid scenes of rejoicing. Good - Small Mark to End Pages/Good - A Little Wear.
