Fight Club the book :') and Dawn of the Dumb

I'm almost finished with "Ratcatcher" by James McGee. If you picture Sharpe as a Bow Street runner you will have finished it also.  The hero is an ex-captain of the 95th cashiered for duelling, but not before he had been on several "special" missions for old Nosey. He now works as a runner and gets involved with french plots and the like. Despite it all being rather predictable it was a good enjoyable mystery/action story which captured the gritty feel of what I imagine London to have been like circa 1810-11.

I've just finished Kingdom in Crisis - the Zulu response to the British invasion of 1879 by John Laband. Fantastic, a really clear and well written account of the war from the Zulu point of view. I need some Zulu figures...

Only 2 more books to come so I will have my set of the The Sundowners novels

Western fiction novels with a steampunk twist by author James Swallow- wrote some 40k, 2000ad stuff

Set in the Old West of the late 1880s, the novels follow the adventures of gunslinger Gabriel Tyler and Native American shaman Jonathan Fivehawk as they fight the plans of Robur Drache, an insane genius in the thrall of an ancient evil known as The Faceless.

A Warhammer bestiary. Anyone know what edition this is? I'm guessing 3rd as I have all the ones from 4th up to 8th.

2d edition - Red Box.

[white knight]

Thanks! Now I guess I'll have to find the rulebook that goes with it.

[Svennn]

It is indeed 2nd edition red box. I may have a spare but definately have a French version in a grey box.

Not exactly a book



but I was looking at Kindle and the like for reading pdf rulebooks

This was £100 delivered and as well as reading pdfs (turn landscape for a better view) is a whizzy little iPad clone

I am quite impressed so far - it's an Eken M001 - and there are firmware upgrades that make it quite a good little runner

I am hoping it will save on ink and stop me slipping up on the pile of printed pdfs at the side of me bed - wife will be please too as I can read without the light on.


ps.   those are my weekend hands.....during the week I revert to the macho hulk I really am

Britain's Working Coast in Victorian and Edwardian Times

An absolutely fascinating little book.  Over 180 photos taken in the late 1800's - early 1900's, mostly in colour, based on old postcards and souvenir photos of the period.  Some are hand-tinted while many are multi-colour lithographs.  Since they were all processed during the period covered, they give an almost time machine-like glimpse at a time we are used to seeing mostly in black and white.  A real joy from start to finish.

An advance copy of the Michael Moorcock Doctor Who novel - makes working in the book trade worth it
