Paperback. Condition: Very Good. This title contains 'Guaranteed fully organic' Yorkshire humour compiled by Austin Mitchell, media personality and politician, as consolation for the demise of Old Labour, flat 'ats and vowels to match. Austin comments: 'No other county, country or even continent has so much wit and wisdom as is contained in traditional Yorkshire humour. The county's jokes come out of Yorkshire's native heath and hill, mine and mill, evolved not made. They revolve round the absolute basics of death, disease, defeats at cricket, diarrhoea, debt, depression and the dole'. Here is a rib-tickling selection of the very best of Yorkshire humour.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Leeds United's biggest crowd of the 2004-05 season was for a testimonial match. But this was no ordinary testimonial. The 37,889 who packed into Elland Road were paying tribute to Lucas Radebe one of the few players whose name is mentioned in the same breath as the club legends like Don Revie, Billy Bremner, John Charles, Eddie Gray, Peter Lorimer, Jack Charlton and Norman Hunter. The South African international so captured the hearts of Leeds fans that they still chant his name years after he retired and the Kaiser Chiefs band took their name from his first club. In his native land he is an iconic figure, who led his country to two World Cups as they emerged from the sporting wilderness and whose reputation as a player and a man helped convince the rest of the world that the World Cup finals should go to South Africa. The kid who was rescued from the violence of the anti-apartheid struggle in Soweto when his parents sent him away from home for fear he would end up in gaol or even dead, received the ultimate accolade when Nelson Mandela declared: 'He is my hero.' This is the story of how Lucas overcame a tough childhood, survived a shooting, and refused to be diverted from his destiny by injury, homesickness, freezing English winters and terrible English food to become not only a football superstar but acknowledged as one of the nicest people in the game. He was awarded the FIFA Fair Play Award as much for his unstinting work for charities and anti-racism organisations as his immaculate defending. Lucas Radebe's story is much more than just another biography of a footballer. It is inspiring and heart-warming, tinged with tragedy yet marked throughout by his trademark smile that has lit up two continents and touched thousands of lives.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Best-selling author Robin McGibbon was welcomed into the inner sanctum of the Kray twins. For more than ten years, he saw Britain's most notorious killers at close quarters - Reggie in top-security prisons, his bisexual brother, Ron, in Broadmoor's hospital for the criminally insane. As a well-connected, valued friend, who had ghost-written older brother Charlie's autobiography, McGibbon spoke to the twins on visits, on the phone, and corresponded regularly by post. He became such a trusted confidant, he advised on media and personal matters, negotiated TV rights to Ronnie's funeral, and his wife was so admired by the Kray family she was asked to speak on Reggie's behalf in church. Drawing on that first-hand experience, and revealing, for the first time, confidential details of letters to and from the twins, McGibbon describes their contrasting personalities: the infuriating mood swings and egomania of the hyper, more aggressive, Reggie, and the gentle courtesy and generosity of his paranoid-schizophrenic twin, who revealed, in an exclusive interview, the real reason behind one of the Kray's legendary murders - and personal memories he had never shared with anyone but family. McGibbon, a former national newspaper journalist, who ghost-wrote Barbara Windsor's best-selling autobiography, "All of Me", has written a pacy narrative, coloured with a cast of supporting characters - from the Yorkshire Ripper, TV stars and Page Three Girls to gangland hierarchy and convicted criminals the twins befriended in prison. With sensational revelations that should guarantee newspaper serialisation, it is an enthralling and compelling read that describes for the first time the bizarre lives the twins led after an Old Bailey judge jailed them in 1969, saying that society had 'earned a rest' from their activities. It is a genuine 'inside' story of the country's most infamous killers, whose terrifying violence shocked the nation and made them underworld legends.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Built in an intriguing mix of Romanesque and Victorian Gothic styles, the completion of the Leeds Grand theatre in Briggate, Leeds was a major milestone in Victorian theatre design. Shortly after its opening in 1878, it was described as 'probably the finest of its size in Britain'. It impressed in terms of its scale - its stage being on a par with the leading London theatres - and also in the sumptuous interior plasterwork and other decorative features. It also led the way in technical innovation behind the scenes. This book charts the history of the theatre through the glory years of the Victorian era and the first half of the 20th century. It records its struggles, like so many theatres, to overcome falling audiences with the advent of television and its near brush with demolition plans in the sixties. It celebrates its successful re-birth in 1978 as the home of Opera North and Northern Ballet, co-existing happily alongside variety, repertory theatre and popular musicals up to the present day. The story of this magnificent building is brought to life through the reminiscences of theatre goers, staff and performers.It is beautifully illustrated throughout with archive images and contemporary photographs of the theatre's extravagant interiors. The Grand Theatre and Opera House in Leeds is considered to be one of the best, if not the best, surviving example of British Victorian theatre design and architecture. This lavishly illustrated book celebrates the history of this great building and the memories of the people who have visited it and performed there over the years.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Keith Senior is Mr Super League. The veteran Leeds Rhinos and former Great Britain centre has been one of the competition's most exciting and controversial talents since it began in 1996. Senior scored a try for Sheffield Eagles against Paris in Super League's opening game and has played more matches - and touched down more times - than anyone else in the competition's history. He was a member of the Sheffield side which stunned Wigan Warriors in the 1998 Challenge Cup final - one of rugby league's greatest-ever shocks - and starred for Leeds in their 2004, 2007, 2008 and 2009 Grand Final wins. He achieved overnight notoriety for a punchy which flattened Castleford's Barrie-Jon Mather in a televised Challenge Cup tie and was at the centre of more controversy when blamed for Leeds' defeat in the 2005 final. He is now ready to lift the lid on those incidents - as well as a drugs bust which almost cost him his career. Instantly-recognisable due to his shaven head, Senior has earned plaudits from coaches, fellow players and fans. But there's more to Senior's life story than his achievements and controversies on the field.Off it, his forthcoming autobiography "The Bald Truth" is an account of how he went from council estate to country estate. Brought up in humble circumstances in Huddersfield, he now lives in a country house in West Yorkshire, along with partner Victoria and a menagerie of animals - including one of the world's oldest rottweiler dogs! Getting there wasn't easy. Senior has a daughter from an ill-fated relationship a broken marriage behind him - antics which led to sensational coverage in the national press. He is now well known for his Ebay habit, of selling off his rugby mementos on the internet auction site - and is also building a reputation as one of the country's most unlikely equestrians and country gents. Searingly honest and packed with insights into his views on rugby, his fellow professionals and the world in general, "The Bald Truth" is a must-read sporting autobiography.

He was the inspirational heart of a team who dominated the competition and transformed the sport off the pitch, with Robbie as the face and voice of the Bulls for over a decade. In 1996, in what he describes as a "career-defining moment" he became the first player to score a hat-trick in a Rugby League Challenge Cup final at Wembley, a feat which earned him "Man of the Match".

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. In Its Not a Proper Job, TV legend Chris Tarrant regales the reader with hilarious and heart-warming stories from his stellar 50-year career in television and radio. With trademark wit and self-mockery, Chris not only recalls his behind-the-scenes capers with fellow celebrities, but also shows us how, as a man of the people, he has relished rubbing shoulders with ordinary folk on his way to becoming one of the nations favourite TV faces. A former teacher and ATV newsreader, Chris soon established himself at the forefront of trailblazing telly as the host of Tiswas, and here recounts this 1970s, anarchic, flan-flinging childrens show that spearheaded a fresh format and a new era for Saturday morning TV packed with pranks, full of fun, and which remains a benchmark to this day. For later audiences, Chris will be more familiar as the face of yet another groundbreaking show, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? which he presented for sixteen gripping years, and which grew into a global phenomenon exported to over one hundred countries. Here Chris remembers the joyous highs of contestants life-changing winnings, the frustrating lows of loss, the cringing embarrassment of ignorance, and the infamous cheating of the Coughing Major. Spanning five decades, Chriss television credits are the envy of aspirational TV stars, but reading his laugh-out-loud anecdotes akin to having a chat with the man himself over a pint, or listening to one of his entertaining, after-dinner speeches reveals a man still amused by life, by the people he meets, and by his own humble assertion that none of his glittering career can, in any way, be called a proper job.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. When Charlotte Bronte died at the age of 38 in the Haworth parsonage where she had spent most of her life, her reputation as one of English literature's great novelists was already assured. In "Jane Eyre" she had allowed passion and romance to triumph over staid Victorian convention. She had written of fiery emotion, of heartbreak and of madness, but the greatest and at times the most tragic love story she never told was her own. It is this story that is now related in this compelling read. Here is the saga of a hopeless romantic, who naively believed true love could always conquer all. As a teenager she penned endless torrid romances and her hero was not a gentlemanly pillar of the community, but the Duke of Zamorna who had two wives, numerous mistresses and an illegitimate child. Brought vividly to life in these pages are the parallels with Charlotte's own life. By the time she was twenty-three she had rejected two proposals of marriage, one from a man she had known for only a couple of hours. Not for another fifteen turbulent years - marked by another proposal and two passionate affairs - were her childhood dreams finally extinguished. One June morning she walked into her father's church in Haworth and married a man she didn't love. It seemed she had at last found the one thing she wanted most of all, but within nine months both she and her unborn child were dead. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. There is renewed interest in Hannah Hauxwell, the remarkable lady who thirty-five years ago captured the hearts of the nation when she was the subject of an extraordinary television documentary.

By now she was a national celebrity, ultimately featured in fifteen television programmes and a whole series of best-selling books. She went on memorable tours of Europe and America, shook hands with the Pope and played the piano on the famous Orient Express.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. In "Frozen In Time", TV weathermen Ian McCaskill and Paul Hudson take you back to the days when snowdrifts were as high as houses, 'below zero' meant below 0 degrees Fahrenheit and when the onset of Spring was heralded not by the dawn chorus but the sound of bursting pipes. "Frozen In Time" explains why such winters happen and why they might return. It journeys back into history to 'The Year of No Summer', 'The Famine Winter' and the years when 'Frost Fairs' were held on the frozen Thames, and it tells the stories of the three worst winters of the twentieth century - arguably the worst winters ever: 1947 - the snowiest winter ever recorded, when blizzards raged for days and weeks on end, snowdrifts cut off large parts of the country and when the thaw finally came, it brought with it the worst floods ever recorded; 1963 - the coldest winter ever, when icefloes choked our rivers, the sea froze for 100 yards off shore, and millions of farm animals and wild creatures froze or starved to death; and, 1979 - 'The Winter of Discontent', when the savage snows and frosts were made worse by the strikes that paralysed Britain, causing power cuts, fuel shortages, transport snarl-ups, and left dustbins unemptied, hospitals unstaffed and bodies unburied for weeks on end. Ian McCaskill brings a unique perspective to these three severe winters, having experienced as a child the severe conditions of 1947 and then as a meteorologist and BBC weather forecaster reporting on the severe winters of '63 and '79. His personal recollections will strike a chord with anyone who lived through these periods. Paul Hudson, one of BBC Look North's most popular presenters and famous for his cheerful presenting style and studio banter, explains the implications of global warming and its direct relation to severe weather conditions.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Using well over 200 pin sharp photographs and informative text, the book will feature many aspects of railway development in Yorkshire prior to the Grouping of railways in 1923 as well as the years afterwards, up to 1948, and the establishment of British Railways.

Included is an outstanding collection of photographs gathered from postcards, original prints, and from glass plate negatives. The captions are well researched and written in a non railway jargon manner, for the enjoyment of a wide audience. The pictures should be of interest well beyond the average railway enthusiast as they form strong social history in portraying such themes as contemporary life, changing fashion in dress (male and female), advertising slogans of the period and excessive numbers of railway staff at many stations. They also show the varied styles of station, bridge and viaduct architecture as well as the way communities have changed. - A lavish reasonably-priced, hardback book, roughly covering the railway period in Yorkshire 1900- 1948 - Besides locomotives, stations, bridges, viaducts and other railway subjects are illustrated - Nothing has been gathered together in such a large sized book hitherto - Over 200 pin sharp photographs beautifully printed - A wealth of facts and figures useful to social historians and railway enthusiasts alike - A fantastic glimpse into Yorkshire's railway world in the first half of the 20th century.
