The name Christopher Lee was for many years synonymous with the best in screen horror. His Count Dracula remains unrivalled and his performances in classics like The Mummy, The Face of Fu Manchu and The Wicker Man are just as striking. But Lee's film and television credits outnumber those of any other British star, and stretch well beyond the confines of Hammer Horror. Christopher Lee: The Authorised Screen History is the first book to chronicle Lee's entire career, including his starring role as James Bond's nemesis in The Man With the Golden Gun and his recent appearances in The Lord of the Rings and Star Wars trilogies.
Compiled with the co-operation of Christopher Lee, and featuring a foreword by Star Wars creator George Lucas, this is the definitive guide to one of cinema's last true legends.Revised and expanded second edition

They were a complex conundrum of angry rhetoric and rock and roll idealism, fuelled by a passion for the music and a close relationship with their fans. They were Joe, Mick, Paul and Topper. They were The Clash City Rockers.
The Complete Clash celebrates the body of work left behind by one of the finest rock and roll bands that Britain has ever produced. The first book of its kind includes a song by song analysis of everything from 'Armagideon Time' to 'White Riot', exhaustive coverage of The Clash's 600 plus live performances between 1976 and 1985 and a study of the band's TV and film appearances. The story is brought up to date with exclusive pictures from the band's induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in March 2003."A veritable bible for Clash City Rockers the world over" - Uncut magazine
