The Fear Bubble Ant Middleton
THE BRILLIANT, INSPIRATIONAL NEXT BOOK BY THE AUTHOR OF THE INCREDIBLE NO. 1 BESTSELLER FIRST MAN IN.
Established in 2007, we’ve delivered to over a million satisfied customers. We’re a tight-knit team who care about providing the very best service possible. We also have thousands of titles available – the latest and best books delivered promptly, direct to your door.
Without fear, there’s no challenge. Without challenge, there’s no growth. Without growth, there’s no life. nt Middleton is no stranger to fear: as a point man in the Special Forces, he confronted fear on a daily basis, never knowing what lay behind the next corner, or the next closed door. In prison, he was thrust into the unknown, cut off from friends and family, isolated with thoughts of failure and dread for his future. And at the top of Everest, in desperate, life-threatening conditions, he was forced to face up to his greatest fear, of leaving his children and wife without a father and husband.

Wham! George & Me
Face It
Inside Out
For the first time, Andrew Ridgeley – one half of one of the most famous bands in the world – tells the inside story of Wham!, his life-long friendship with George Michael and the formation of a band that changed the shape of the music scene in the early eighties.
As the front-woman of Blondie, she and the band created some of the most beloved pop songs of all time. Face It is a cinematic story of a woman who made her own path, and set the standard for a generation of artists who followed in her footsteps.
Famed American actress Demi Moore at last tells her own story in a surprisingly intimate and emotionally charged memoir. Demi pulls back the curtain and opens up about her career and personal life - laying bare her tumultuous relationships.

I
n 1994 fledgling journalist Louis Theroux was given a oneoff gig on Michael Moore’s TV Nation, presenting a segment on apocalyptic religious sects. Gawky, socially awkward and totally unqualified, his first reaction to this exciting opportunity was panic. But he’d always been drawn to off-beat characters, so maybe his enthusiasm would carry the day. Or would it...? In Gotta Get Theroux This, Louis takes the reader on a joyous journey from his anxiety-prone childhood to his unexpectedly successful career. Nervously accepting the BBC’s offer of his own series, he went on to create an awardwinning documentary style. As Louis woos his beautiful wife Nancy and learns how to be a father, he also dares to take on the powerful Church of Scientology. Just as challenging is the revelation that one of his old subjects, Jimmy Savile, was a secret sexual predator, prompting him to question our understanding of how evil takes place. Filled with wry observation and self-deprecating humour, this is Louis at his most insightful and honest best.

n his first and only official autobiography, music icon Elton John reveals the truth about his extraordinary life, which was also the subject of the film Rocketman. His life has been full of drama, from the early rejection of his work with song-writing partner Bernie Taupin to spinning out of control as a chart-topping superstar; from half-heartedly trying to drown himself in his LA swimming pool to discodancing with the Queen. The result is Me – the joyously funny, honest and moving story of the most enduringly successful singer/ songwriter of all time.
