Price clipped. 294pp. Product Description: The story of two sisters who landed on Planet Pop and how they survived thanks to each other. Since they first hit the charts in 1997 with the All Saints, the Appletons have lived, loved and squabbled in the full glare of the tabloids. In this biography they tell of their struggles and successes - the amazing highs of stardom and its dangerous lows. How, despite making records that topped the charts and had the critics cheering, there were tensions in the group from the start, and how the music industry - obsessed with image and control - would put extraordinary pressure on the girls and their loved ones. They talk about the people in their lives, including Robbie Williams, Jamie Theakston and Liam Gallagher. And they explain the unique bonds of love and sisterhood that have kept them together.

Desert Fire

Mint condition. Hodder & Stoughton, 2006. First UK edition-first printing. Black hardback(silver lettering to the spine) with Dj(small nick on the Dj cover), both in mint condition. Illustrated. 362pp including Glossary, index. Price un-clipped. Synopsis: A covert unit of British SAS, US Delta Force, CIA and British intelligence operatives was formed during the build up to the Second Gulf War to carry out top-secret operations in Northern Iraq. Officially they didn't exist. To ensure the stability of Northern Iraq, these men were sent to recruit the Kurdish Peshmerga guerrillas to join the invasion. This ultra-clandestine mission was headed up by Niall Arden, an SAS veteran and black operations specialist. Desert Fire is the extraordinary story of one mission and how his unit was compromised three times - and how each time they managed to escape from an enemy hell-bent on hunting them down. Cornered and desperate, the men of the unit resorted to superhuman efforts to survive as they were thrown into a bloody, mind-numbing close-quarter combat. But even as they fought for their lives, they began to realise they had been sent on a mission that was not all it seemed!. As New/As New. ISBN: 9780340897652

A few months after that historic victory, he became a father for the first time. His first book It's Not About the Bike charted this journey back to life and went on to become an international best-seller, and won the William Hill Sports Book of the Year 2000. Now, in this much anticipated follow-up, Armstrong shares more details of his remarkable life story, including three more Tour de France wins, an Olympic medal, and the birth of his twin daughters Grace and Isabel. Never shy of controversy, Lance Armstrong is a genuine global sports superstar and one of cycling's greatest ever champions. Here he offers us his life philosophy - his thoughts on training, competing, winning and failure. He also recounts the work done for the Foundation he set up following his dramatic recovery and introduces further inspirational tales of cancer survival. Every Second Counts is another extraordinary and awe-inspiring book from a man strives every day to meet life momentous challenges. Near Fine/Near Fine. ISBN: 9780224064668

Book Description: In June 1986 Diego Maradona, considered by many to be the greatest footballer of all time, proudly hoisted the '86 Mexico World Championship Cup in his hands. Now thirty years on from that magical game, and after a life in sports marked by controversy, Maradona tells, for the first time, the untold stories behind that one-of-a-kind World Cup. Mexico '86 was the pinnacle of Maradona's career, and in this book he will reveal all about every game, what happened afterwards in the locker room, the months leading up to the World Cup, when the team had to go to Mexico City a month early to avoid the overthrowing of the technical director by the Argentine president, Alfonsin, the mystery behind 'El Gran Capitán' Passarella ('78 World Cup Champion), the strategies and tactics that revolutionised the game, training in a country that was recovering from an earthquake, the public's hostility, the jerseys they went out to buy in Mexico City, the meeting in Colombia where the team really came together, his relationship to drugs: the clean World Cup, and the best goal in football history. Mexico '86 is Maradona's World Cup and Maradona is who he is because of that World Cup. Explosive, gritty and unapologetic, Touched by God will tell the inside story of one of the greatest football victories of all time. New/New. ISBN: 9781472125026
