Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Youve got to have that madness in your mind to win, win, win. Youve got to have that somewhere, but it cant consume you. The singular story of football's hardest man and sharpest mind. This story begins in infamy. Everyones first glimpse of the man is of ferocious blows struck in grand final…s, his name splashed in headlines across the back pages of the tabloids. Its the 1970s, its Richmond: kill or be killed. There was a time when almost every football watcher who heard Neil Balmes name would react with disapproval. My God, what a bruiser . . . A dangerous fellow . . . And those who knew him would quickly deny these accusations. Hes not a brute, you know, hes a thinker . . . A mild-mannered bloke, easygoing. The great paradox of Balme is the violence and the pacifism, the mayhem and the calm, the rough justice and the gentleness. Hes a cold-blooded thug; hes a soft-hearted healer; hes a villain and a hero. Balme is unique in having spent longer than anyone else in clubland. Richmond, Norwood, Melbourne, Collingwood, Geelong and Richmond again over fifty years. Hes seen and created limitless change in those decades. So how did Neil Balme go from being the infamous on-field enforcer of the 1970s to the avuncular guru the football world knows and loves today? After eleven premierships, an aura surrounds the man. Get Balme to your club and success will follow. What has he to tell us of football, of the high times and the low, of the champs and the egos? Of Royce and GR, of Diamond Joe, of Eddie and Mick, of Bomber, of Dimma? And of life and the human heart? Balmes tale is, unsurprisingly, a mix of hard truth and unerring compassion. The long-awaited memoir of one of AFLs hardest players and most respected behind-the-scenes coaches. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Anson Cameron, Random House Australia. From Australia's foremost comic novelist comes a hilarious satire of the art world, based on a true story. From Australia's foremost comic novelist comes a hilarious satire of the art world, based on a true story. Harry Broome dreams of being a famous painter. And when a sophisti…cated French beauty buys all the paintings at his first exhibition, he knows he's on his way. But in the art world nothing is as it seems. Before long, to pay his debts and save his reputation, he is trapped in a plot to steal Picasso's Weeping Woman from the National Gallery of Victoria. She is the gallery's greatest acquisition, and when she goes missing the city's many treasure hunters come out to find her- a corrupt tycoon who knew Picasso, a gay escort obsessed with Michael Jackson, a bent barrister, a gang of bikies, a hit man, the gallery director, the Minister for Police. The Weeping Woman is priceless and life is cheap. Stretching from pre-war France to contemporary Australia, with a captivating cast of eccentric characters and a superbly engaging plot based on a true story, Stealing Picasso tells of an art theft and a forgery and their extraordinary repercussions. 'Anson Cameron is one of the most interesting writers of his generation' -- Weekend Australian. Paperback.

Author: Anson Camer…on Format: Paperback Number of Pages: 288 A blackly funny novel about an unlikely hero, and his misadventures on the flood he has created. A blackly funny novel about an unlikely hero, and his misadventures on the flood he has created. In the drought-stricken Riverland town of Bartel in South Australia, after the suicide of his wife, Merv Rossiter steals a boat. He trucks north with his eight-year-old-daughter Em into Queensland. There he blows up the dam at Waroo Station, releasing a flood through outback New South Wales into South Australia. As the authorities search for them, Merv and Em ride the flood south in their stolen boat, rescuing a Queensland Minister from the water, and then a young blackfella who fancies he sang the river to life all by himself. Meanwhile, in Canberra, the political flotsam carried by Merv's renegade ocean brings the Federal Government to its knees. The Last Pulse is the story of the last flood that will ever flow down the inland artery that was the Darling River. The stream is broken now and the agriculture and lives of South Australians have been appropriated with the water by a people a thousand kilometres to the north. Throughout their misadventures on his flood, Merv promises his daughter they will be heroes in South Australia, and that they are sailing towards victory parades and happiness. The other crewmembers, however, know he is heading towards a violent reckoning with Australia itself. Blackly humorous, poignant, timely, The Last Pulse is Anson Cameron's finest work to date. Secondhand, Paperback.

Soft cover. Condition: Good. Ink mark bottom book block. Cover slightly soiled and faint scratches due to shelf wear. Slight bumping of spine bottom edge. Small pen scribble fly leaf. Small water mark bottom left corner. An iron town is dying. Inside a fibro bungalow in a horizon-wide mirage Belle Furphy is watching from her kit…chen window while her town is dismantled around her and trucked south. Ignoring the Dreamtime and spurning the Multinational and vowing to die here where she long ago dug the ashes of her family into the rock of the land, she's becoming the island they say no man is. Flying in from the east coast is her estranged son Jack with his Sunset Village brochures: snapshots of happy deaths on ergonomic beds with palliative carers hovering angelically overhead. Out the front of her house in airconditioned site-vans housewreckers play poker and read letters from her happily relocated neighbours at her through a megaphone. And they wait -for her resolve to give; or for her heart to give. Or for word finally to come through that, at last, nobody is watching . . .
