Late Announcements 1 Travel 4 General Interest 8 Health 14 Gi & Humour 16 Full Stocklist 49 Welcome to Summersdale!

We have now been trading as an independent publisher for 23 years, growing from strength to strength every year.

The Bookseller ranked us within its Top 10 Risers for 2012 in a year that saw our revenues grow by 7% within nontraditional high street retail chains and independent online gi retailers, and our export sales all around the globe more than double. Our continued investment in PR allows us to punch above our weight, attaining outstanding media coverage for our books and authors in mainstream national press.

With a backlist of some 600 titles we currently produce a diverse range of over a hundred thought-provoking and entertaining reads across Gi and Humour, Travel, General Interest and Self-Help.

This season brings a very strong list of titles with something for everyone, from charming gis for a special occasion to cheeky little presents to make you say, ‘OMG!’ We bring fresh approaches to popular themes, taking a humorous look at age, sport, jokes and slang, whilst our photographic celebrations of cats and dogs are both beautiful and upliing. If quizzes are your thing, our new range of Puzzlers are just the ticket and, in the wake of post-Olympic sport interest, our miscellanies of cycling and running provide inspiration for even armchair athletes. On a more serious note, we launch a new series of self-help books with Understanding and Dealing with Stroke and Understanding and Dealing with Depression.

We’d like to extend our many thanks to all the writers and artists, the press and trade and everyone else who helps make Summersdale’s books so special.

Julien noticed me looking from him to his brother and back again. ‘Yes we are identical twins. Well, nearly identical. I’m of course much better looking.

This is my brother Louis.’

Aer one particularly bad day at work, advertising executive and confirmed city girl Melanie Jones decides to give up her old life in search of something new and simpler in South West France. With little knowledge of the country, even less of the language and just the memory of a disastrous school French exchange and a few day trips to Calais, she embarks on her adventure with a suitcase full of optimism and not a little bit of naivety. Aer all, how different can life in France be?

‘... she paints a hilarious picture of the realities of life across the Channel’ DAILY MAIL describing Melanie's blog ■ Honest, self-deprecating humour combined with luscious romance, to create a memorable French love story; sure to appeal to readers of Karen Wheeler’s Tout Sweet (ISBN: 978 1 84024 761 9) and Toute Allure (ISBN: 978 1 84953 066 8).

Aer a series of adventures with skirt-ripping tractors, handsome twin farmers, celebrity not-quite-beens, unusual toilets and a bonkers ex-pat community, all topped up, of course, with lashings of rosé, Melanie begins to discover that her new life in France isn’t quite what she’d thought it would be.

■ Has a platform to promote her story, as she is a blogger for the Huffington Post as well as updating her own personal blog: therivercottagediaries.blogspot.co.uk

Melanie Jones is an ex-ex-pat with a myriad of ex-careers and two children she adores. She’s also a blogger for the Huffington Post and has written for the Daily Mail. When she’s not in France, she can be found in the Wylye Valley, Wiltshire.

Alone in Antarctica Felicity Aston ISBN: 978 1 84953 432 1 £8.99 129x198mm 320pp Paperback Colour plates August 2013 Rights and Sales Territories: World

What would it feel like to be out there alone in that empty vastness?

Only three people in the world have crossed Antarctica alone. The first two were men and both Norwegian. At the age of 34, British woman Felicity Aston became the third – and unlike her predecessors, she didn’t use kites or parasails to assist her.

Facing desperate weather, she woke every morning believing she could not face another day as the expedition became a race against time to reach the coast before the last flight out. This gripping and inspirational account of personal endurance shows what you can achieve when you grit your teeth and decide just to get through today in one piece.

Felicity Aston has spent over a decade travelling, working and living all over the Polar Regions. In 2009 she led the most international team of women ever to ski to the South Pole; this became the subject of her first book, Call of the White (ISBN: 978 1 84953 134 4), a finalist in the Banff Mountain Book Competition in 2011.

Outside Magazine, the leading adventure-travel magazine in the US, named her one of their 2012 Adventurers of the Year. She is based in Margate, Kent.

‘True inspiration to venture beyond your comfort zone’ WANDERLUST ■ Felicity’s achievement was reported around the globe: the volume and breadth of media interest indicates the human interest value of the story.

■ A unique account of an emotional and psychological journey.

■ With the approaching centenary of Shackleton’s ‘Endurance’ expedition in 2014, this is an ideal time for a fresh, modern perspective on Antarctic exploration for a new generation.

A city girl with a morbid fear of deep water, Torre DeRoche is not someone you would ordinarily find adrift in the middle of the stormy Pacific. But when she meets Ivan, a handsome Argentinean man with a sailing boat and a dream of exploring the world, Torre has to face a hard decision: watch him sail away forever, or head out with him into the unknown.

Set against a backdrop of the world’s most beautiful and remote destinations, Love with a Chance of Drowning is a moving and breathtakingly brave memoir that proves there are some risks worth taking.

Torre DeRoche writes about her travels and misadventures on her blog, fearfuladventurer.com. When she’s not at home in Melbourne, Australia, DeRoche is at large in the world, writing, snapping photos, painting pictures and pursuing adventures.

‘The story of how DeRoche overcame her fears... this book [is] a Hollywood dream come true.’

SYDNEY MORNING HERALD ‘Hilarious… recounts the adventure of a lifetime.’

VOGUE AUSTRALIA ‘A little work of magic.’

Grady Harp, Amazon Top 100 Reviewer ‘Be warned, this book may stir up a yearning for adventure somewhere deep in your soul; your desk might not look the same tomorrow.’

Have you heard of the country whose schools have banned the use of egg boxes and loo rolls in cra lessons as they pose a health risk (they could be carrying salmonella, don’t you know), and removed pear trees from a picturesque lane because they were too dangerous? No? It’s Britain! This laugh-out-loud collection of ludicrous laws, money-wasting council schemes and ridiculous red tape reveals how: ■ A city council removed the conkers from dozens of horse chestnut trees, fearing for the safety of tree climbers searching for the ultimate sixer.

■ Previous edition (published as Completely Conkers, ISBN: 978 1 84953 004 0) has sold 10,000 copies.

■ A humorous look at an evergreen topic which will appeal to fans of More Than My Job’s Worth, An Utterly Exasperated History of Modern Britain and Is It Just Me or is Everything Shit?

■ Aer falling in the prison shower, a career criminal was compensated £248,000, including a substantial amount ‘for lost earnings’.

If you find yourself grimacing at the stupidity of health and safety gone mad you’ll love this collection of idiotic interventions and ridiculous rules that have come into play to keep us from harm.

WARNING: This book should only be used by those trained in liing books and turning pages. Read with caution and at your own risk.

Will Jackson divides his time between having barbecues without a licence and putting the wrong sort of rubbish in his bins. He has a massive horse chestnut tree in his garden, which provides the best conkers for miles around.

The Birdwatcher’s Year Richard Williamson ISBN: 978 1 84953 436 9 £9.99 116x182mm 160pp Hardback August 2013 Rights and Sales Territories: World

This charming and practical handbook is bursting with tips, facts and folklore to guide you through the birdwatching year. Find out how to identify birds by sight or song, everything you need to know about their behaviour, habitats and breeding and migration habits, and tips for encouraging birds into your garden. Also includes handy diary pages for making your own notes each month. A must-have for any eager birdwatcher.

Richard Williamson was for 30 years the manager of Kingley Vale National Nature Reserve in West Sussex and has an unparalleled knowledge of South Downs wildlife and lore. He is the author of 52 Favourite West Sussex Walks (ISBN: 978 1 84953 233 4).

October

October OCTOBER is a month of change – at this time of year mass migrations are taking place, and the coastal areas of Britain become the major crossroads for birds travelling across north-west Europe. The autumn harvest also gives resident birds the chance to replenish themselves and prepare for winter.

THIS TIME OF YEAR is particularly good for seawatching, as you should be able to catch a glimpse of winter migrants arriving and/or summer migrants leaving, as well as the regular birding sights to be found on the coast, if you can brave the cold weather to watch them. A telescope, gloves, thick hat and windproof jacket are essential to get the most out of your trip. Herring gulls, fulmar petrels and cormorants drift, glide and circle around cliffs and headlands, but further out to sea you should be able to spot more exotic birds, such as the guillemot or the razorbill, dipping and rising above the troughs of the waves. Manx shearwaters can sometimes be spotted near the horizon, gliding just above the surface of the water.

They can be identified by their dark backs and pale undersides.

94

CHAFFINCHES are also plentiful at this time of year, as they congregate at the end of their breeding season. However, their numbers are augmented by Scandinavian birds, which can be distinguished from our native chaffinches by a few distinctive differences in behaviour. The Scandinavian birds flock in enormous numbers across the Channel, divided into female and male groups. Before making their sea crossing to Ireland, you can see field after field full of chaffinches and these continental birds waiting and preparing for the next leg of their journey.

ACORNS ARE PLENTIFUL in mid-October, and this is the peak time for Marsh-tits, coal-tits, blue-tits, rooks, woodpigeons and jays to store up food for the winter. The jays are by far the most efficient at this job, and they can be spotted in woods across the country, a flash of their white rump repeatedly catching the eye as they dart around to collect their bounty. According to some reports, jays in any one locality can be responsible for moving well over 100,000 acorns in a season. Their symbiotic relationship with the oak trees is so perfectly developed that they even have a specially widened throat to accommodate the large fruits, and their distribution of such a large number of acorns ensures a crop of pioneer seedlings in the next year.

Praise for 52 Favourite West Sussex Walks: ‘If you fancy a walk… all you need is this great pocket guide… there really is fun for all the family’ PRIMARY TIMES ‘His friendly, folksy style encourages the walker to revel in the journey and sights to be seen’ SUSSEX LIFE magazine ■ Ideally sized to fit into a pocket or small bag for bird-watching trips.

If you feel that today is nothing special:

If you are angry with someone:

If you are ill in bed:

To The Sun-Dial

from Think Gently of the Erring

In the Hospital

Thou silent herald of Time’s silent flight!

Think gently of the erring:

Because on the branch that is tapping my pane

Say, could’st thou speak, what warning voice

Ye know not of the power

were thine?

With which the dark temptation came

Shade, who canst only show how others shine!

In some unguarded hour.

Dark, sullen witness of resplendent light

Ye may not know how earnestly

In day’s broad glare, and when the moontide bright

They struggled, or how well,

Of laughing fortune sheds the ray divine,

Until the hour of weakness came

Thy ready favors cheer us – but decline

HEALTH AND SICKNESS

And sadly thus they fell.

The clouds of morning and the gloom of night.

A sun-wakened leaf-bud, uncurled, Is bursting its rusty brown sheathing in twain, I know there is Spring in the world.

Because through the sky-patch whose azure and white My window frames all the day long, A yellow-bird dips for an instant of flight, I know there is Song.

Yet are thy counsels faithful, just, and wise;

Speak gently to the erring:

They bid us seize the moments as they pass–

For is it not enough

Snatch the retrieveless sunbeam as it flies,

That innocence and peace have gone,

Where creep the dull hours, leaden-shod,

Without thy censure rough?

Compassion and Tenderness aid me, I know

Nor lose one sand of life’s revolving glass– Aspiring still, with energy sublime,

It sure must be a weary lot,

By virtuous deeds to give eternity to Time.

That sin-stained heart to bear,

There is God. Arthur Guiterman

And those who share a happier fate John Quincy Adams

Because even here in this Mansion of Woe

Their chidings well may spare.

Buy a pup and your money will buy Love unflinching that cannot lie-Perfect passsion and worship fed By a kick in the ribs or a pat on the head.

Nevertheless it is hardly fair To risk your heart to a dog to tear.

Not for me the other dogs, running by my side, Some have run a short while, but none of them would bide.

O mine is still the lone trail, the hard trail, the best, Wide wind, and wild stars, and hunger of the quest!

Irene Rutherford Mcleod, ‘The Lone Dog’ From ‘The Power of a Dog’ by Rudyard Kipling

Britain’s Worst Walks Travels around the UK’s Gloriously Grim Backwaters Ben Hind ISBN: 978 1 84953 455 0 £8.99 146x146mm 112pp Hardback Black and white maps and photographs September 2013 Rights and Sales Territories: World

‘At the end of Southend Pier, turn around and walk back to the shore. You will soon notice that the return journey is not as nice because you have to look at Southend.’

From Southend to Skegness via slums, sewage works and sandless beaches, this unique walking guide takes a look at some of the most overlooked routes in the UK. They may not be popular, they may not be pretty, but they’re all part of the great British landscape – whether we like it or not.

■ Will appeal to fans of Molvania and the Crap Towns series ■ A tongue-in-cheek celebration of Britain, appealing to cynics and patriots alike ■ Features maps and full-colour photographs of the walking routes

Ben Hind is editor of the Scottish Sunday Express. He is a keen hillwalker, who is currently attempting to complete the historic county tops of Scotland and England.

He honestly loves all of Britain, even the scruffy bits.

Holmfirth is one of those picturesque commuter villages for people who are happy to work in the nearby cities but would rather sell their firstborn into slavery than actually live there. However, this is not its only claim to infamy. ‘Last of the Summer Wine’ was filmed hereabouts for 37 years, transforming the area into one of the biggest tourist attractions in Yorkshire.

Holmfirth - Paths of the Summer Whine

• Length – 37 years (1973-2010) • Difficulty – Hip replacement • Likelihood of getting an erection at the thought of a mature lady in wrinkled nylons – Fair to middlin’ • Score – Six chuffin’ ferrets out of ten

Whether you want to dip into a dice game or try your hand at a game of cards, this compilation of traditional family games provides plenty of ideas for sharing time together.

■ Escape from the fast-paced routine of modern life with this diverse collection of games.

■ An opportunity to get the family together other than just at Christmas time.

■ Tapping in to the popularity of vintage-styled books, appealing to fans of The Fabulous Book for Girls and The Dangerous Book for Boys.

Games for all the Family

Games for Groups

Pass the Slipper

GAMES PS ROU FOR G Sardines No of players required: Four or more What you will need: The ability to squeeze into tight spaces The simple part: It^s a case of the more the merrier with sardines. One player hides while the others count to 50.

The players then split up to look for the hider and, when they find them, they must join them in their hiding place until all the players but one are crammed in!

Wink Murder

The Post-It Game

Knock someone out with that killer look

When the answer is almost staring you in the face

No of players required: Five or more Aim of the game: To ]kill^ all other players without being found out

No of players required: Six or more What you will need: Traditionally a slipper, but any small object will do

No of players required: Two or more Aim of the game: To guess the name of the famous person written on a Post-It attached to your forehead

How to start: From a pack of cards, take as many cards as there are players and make sure one is an ace. Each player needs to pick a card; whoever gets the ace is the murderer and the rest are detectives.

How to start: Each player should write the name of a famous person on a Post-It and stick it to the forehead of the player to their left.

The simple part: The murderer must wink at players individually to ]kill^ them, without the other players noticing.

Once a player has been winked at, they can perform as dramatic and noisy a death as they so choose.

Whoever accuses the murderer correctly wins a point and the overall winner is the player with the most points.

This game can go on for as long as you like and the more players involved the more fun it is.

The simple part: Players then take it in turns to ask questions about the name on their own forehead. Each question should command a yes or no answer and if the answer is yes the player may continue asking questions; as soon as the answer is no the player^s turn is over and it^s the next person^s turn to ask questions.

The player to guess correctly first wins a point, but it is fun to keep playing until everyone has guessed the name attached to their forehead.

23

22

The simple part: Select one player to sit in the middle of a circle with their eyes closed, while the other players pass an object to each other behind their backs. When the player in the middle opens their eyes, the passing stops and they must guess who has the object. If they guess correctly, they swap places with the holder and the game continues.

Blind Man's Buff No of players required: Four or more What you will need: A blindfold The simple part: This one may require breakables to be hidden out of reach. One player should be blindfolded, while the others scatter around the room and the ]blind^ player tries to catch them. Once caught, the blindfolded player must guess who they have taken prisoner. If they guess correctly they can then swap places.

Wanksy Interpreting a Graffiti Virtuoso Marc Blakewill and James Harris ISBN: 978 1 84953 474 1 £9.99 220x165mm 128pp Hardback Colour photographs throughout October 2013 Rights and Sales Territories: World

Wanksy is the unheralded genius behind some of the most iconic urban images of our time: the seminal ‘cock and balls’, the timeless ‘Leroy loves Sarah’, the devastating brevity of ‘sod’ and countless other masterpieces. For the first time, this book collects Wanksy’s most significant works to date together with expert critiques that analyse and illuminate their hidden depths. You’ll never look at a crudely drawn penis in the same way again.

Marc Blakewill and James Harris have been a writing partnership for 12 years.

Based in London, they have written for a wide range of TV and radio comedy shows such as Horrible Histories (BBC1), Russell Howard’s Good News (BBC3), and Hudd and Quantick’s Global Village (Radio 2). This is their first book.

You could say this was bloody childish. Or you could say it was a study in genetics. Think on it. From XX to XY we are but a letter away from being a different sex. And so with just one ‘P’, Wanksy transforms the feminine (Jessica) Ennis to the strappingly masculine Pennis.

“

■ A spoof on Banksy, the internationally known and universally-acclaimed graffiti artist with a highly successful book (Wall and Piece) and merchandise range.

■ Combining juvenile images with high-brow art criticism, will appeal to a wide-ranging audience.

■ For fans of Crap Graffiti by Adam Elliott and Shit London by Patrick Dalton.

Media opportunities: Extracts/serialisation.

Feature angles: Where will you find the UK’s worst graffiti?; Top ten worst pieces of wall art.

Photos available.

Its clever conceit is matched only by its flawless execution. A wonderful ‘P’.

Late Announcements 1 Travel 4 General Interest 8 Health 14 Gi & Humour 16 Full Stocklist 49 Welcome to Summersdale!

We have now been trading as an independent publisher for 23 years, growing from strength to strength every year.

The Bookseller ranked us within its Top 10 Risers for 2012 in a year that saw our revenues grow by 7% within nontraditional high street retail chains and independent online gi retailers, and our export sales all around the globe more than double. Our continued investment in PR allows us to punch above our weight, attaining outstanding media coverage for our books and authors in mainstream national press.

With a backlist of some 600 titles we currently produce a diverse range of over a hundred thought-provoking and entertaining reads across Gi and Humour, Travel, General Interest and Self-Help.

This season brings a very strong list of titles with something for everyone, from charming gis for a special occasion to cheeky little presents to make you say, ‘OMG!’ We bring fresh approaches to popular themes, taking a humorous look at age, sport, jokes and slang, whilst our photographic celebrations of cats and dogs are both beautiful and upliing. If quizzes are your thing, our new range of Puzzlers are just the ticket and, in the wake of post-Olympic sport interest, our miscellanies of cycling and running provide inspiration for even armchair athletes. On a more serious note, we launch a new series of self-help books with Understanding and Dealing with Stroke and Understanding and Dealing with Depression.

We’d like to extend our many thanks to all the writers and artists, the press and trade and everyone else who helps make Summersdale’s books so special.
