£7.99
Stuart Imlach played football in the last days of the maximum wage, when footballers were at the mercy of their clubs and when the men who played the game and those who watched it led fundamentally the same lives in the same communities. His son recaptures that era, barely comprehensible 40 years on, and the way it changed. -

£12.99
'The Pure Land' relives in fiction the arc of Thomas Glover's true-life rise and fall, and forges a hundred-year saga that culminates in the annihilation of Nagasaki in 1945. It spans the feudal and the atomic ages, east and west, global history and private passion.
