Paperback. Condition: Very Good. "A brilliantly observed book that decodes modern dating from A to Z. Brilliantly witty translation of what men really mean." - Femail, Daily Mail Tinder Translator is a hilarious and revealing feminist commentary on dating apps and the patriarchy, from Aileen Barratt of @TinderTranslators. Ten years after the introduction of Tinder, dating apps have changed the terrain of human interaction, but many feel like theyve been sent into the wilderness without a guide. For those dating cis-het men especially, the blatant misogyny encountered during every swipe session is depressing and enraging in equal measure. And then there is the not-so-blatant stuff. Scrolling through profile after profile, youll see the same stock phrases: Good vibes only. Must have banter. Just ask. But what do they actually mean? Through her Instagram account, Aileen has heard from thousands of people on their dating experiences, in addition to her own years spent on dating apps. This dictionary of douchebaggery is part reference, part rant and part rallying cry for anyone navigating the sometimes gross and exhausting experience of dating, but also just for everyone who is sick of the patriarchy, whatever their relationship status. A fun small hardback, Tinder Translator is the perfect gift for friends (or for yourself) whether they're dating or not. It will make you laugh, sigh, think, and leave you feeling empowered and resilient. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Part biography, part personal reflection and part investigation, Chasing Shadows: The Life And Death Of Peter Roebuck will celebrate Roebucks immense achievements as a player, captain, writer, broadcaster and philanthropist, but not shy away from the controversies that plagued his life and hang so darkly and with such uncertainty over his shocking death. Initial investigations have already uncovered details previously unknown to the public, while some of the cricket world's giant figures have volunteered due praise - and criticism - for this remarkable figure. Tim Lane and co-author Elliot Cartledge will explore the `Roebuck phenomenon, how this seemingly awkward and eccentric intellectual giant became, briefly, an English cricket captain, was embroiled in a long-standing feud with the likes of Ian Botham and Viv Richards, gained adulation throughout the sub-continent and Australasia and established what was essentially a homespun charity to put scores of impoverished Africans through secondary schooling and university. Along with the recollections and revelations of colleague and confidante Tim Lane, the book will feature in its telling the likes of Ian Botham, Viv Richards, Ian Chappell, Mark Nicholas, Steve Waugh, Rahul Dravid, Ricky Ponting, Kerry OKeefe, Martin Crowe, Mike Coward, Jim Maxwell and many others, including members of the Roebuck family. "The book has one supreme quality: it is fair-minded" - Martin Flanagan, Sydney Morning Herald "This first-class work of investigative reporting tracks down key figures who shed crucial light on Roebucks life, while resisting pat conclusions." - Steven Carroll, Canberra Times "This tantalising kaleidoscope of a book, which honours the complexity of the man while rigorously pursuing the truth." - Steven Carroll, Canberra Times "There could be no more difficult person to interperet" - Tim Lane, Sunday Age.

Paperback. Condition: Good. Bradman and Wisden are two names synonymous with cricket. More than that, they have in their unique ways entered the English language as shorthand for statistical achievements, records and authority. However, Sir Donald Bradman's cricketing career was more about run-making and Wisden Cricketers' Almanack has always been more than a record book. Bradman in Wisden gives the scores of Sir Donald's 234 first-class games, his 52 Test Matches for Australia and minor matches played on four tours of England. But these give only part of his story. Essays and match reports in Wisden's idiosyncratic, time-encapsulating style, together with some impressive photography, bring to life his many triumphs as a cricketer, a captain and a great sportsman. All the feature articles about Bradman that have appeared in Wisden over the past eighty years are included, including his definitive obituary. Between them, they tell why, seven years after his death, he remains an Australian hero, a cricket icon and a sporting legend. The book also contains articles which Bradman himself wrote in Wisden. Published to coincide with the 100th anniversary of Bradman's birth, Bradman in Wisden - edited by Graeme Wright - is an updated and expanded version of Wisden on Bradman which was published in 1998. The book has been read but remains in clean condition. All pages are intact and the cover is intact. Some minor wear to the spine.
