The fame files: Risk Takers and Record Breakers
Whitcoulls 2004 Paperback, 96pp. Peter Hawes is back with another fascinating and funny collection of stories about real people who did some extraordinary (and often very stupid) things to break records or achieve personal goals. While at least one highly eccentric person has featured in each of the last five Fame Files titles, in this book everyone is outrageous in their pursuit of danger to prove a point. While Harry Houdini and Charles Lindberg are well-known characters, equally as thrilling are the stories of more recent risk takers. These include Evel Knievel and his motorbike stunts, and David Kunst who walked around the world. (ISBN: 9781877327315). Fair.

Tasman's lay
Christchurch, Hazard Press. 1995, First Edition. (ISBN: 090879052x) Soft cover, 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Book, 248 pages, foxing on edges. So tormented was Abel Tasman by events surrounding his 'discovery' of Aotearoa New Zealand that he covered up the true events, effectively concealing the 'new' land from European knowledge through seven generations. Now, in 'Tasman's Lay', an historical novel tracing the explorer's journey, Peter Hawes shrugs aside the trivial detail of history and lifts the lid on history's ultimate cover up. Very Good.
