Beschreibung

“The kind of book Steinbeck might have written if he’d traveled with David Letterman.” —New York magazine 
An inspiring and hilarious account of one man’s rediscovery of America and his search for the perfect small town.   
Following an urge to rediscover his youth, Bill Bryson left his native Des Moines, Iowa, in a journey that would take him across 38 states. Lucky for us, he brought a notebook. With a razor wit and a kind heart, Bryson serves up a colorful tale of boredom, kitsch, and beauty when you least expect it. From Times Square to the Mississippi River to Williamsburg, Virginia, Bryson's keen and hilarious search for the perfect American small town is a journey straight into the heart and soul of America.

    P.G. Wodehouse, the master of British humor, produced dozens of books and hundreds of short stories in his long and prolific career. But none of his creations has quite captured the world's imagination as much as his bumbling, empty-headed, man-about-town Bertie Wooster and Bertie's faithful, knight-in-shining tuxedo Jeeves.  Collected here are two of Wodehouse's most beloved "Jeeves and Wooster" creations - ten short stories from the anthology "Carry On, Jeeves" and the complete novel "Right Ho, Jeeves" - each a master class in comedic writing. Along with Jeeves and Bertie, we are introduced to an entire cast of beloved Wodehouse characters: Bingo Little, James "Corky" Corcoran, Honoria Glossop, Rockmetteller Todd and the terrifying and bombastic Aunt Agatha.  These two books are presented here in their original and unabridged form.

    In Barnsley Buses we have a superb combination of talents. Stephen Farnsworth is not simply an enthusiast where Barnsley Buses are concerned, he is also a singularly competent photographer. Put these talents together and combine them with many years spent working for Yorkshire Traction and the potential for a totally unique publication of Barnsley Buses, rescue vehicles and the facilities required to run and maintain this vital service, is there. Steve also holds a unique collection of bus memorabilia, much of which is also illustrated in the book. Roger Glister, is a specialist transport historian, who has concentrated on the development of public transport in Yorkshire for many years. Roger's research and writing skills deftly bring to life the story of post war bus transport in the Barnsley area. When combined with the photographs and memorabilia supplied by Steve Farnsworth, Roger's historical framework and descriptive prose brings to life this fascinating account of post war public transport in Barnsley.

    From the author of the Bunny Suicides series and Beer Makes Daddy Strong comes a hilarious collection detailing all the endearing oddities of motherhood.    Mommy loves chocolate cake (no matter how bad it is for her), has magical spit (removes any stain!), and loves spa treatments (especially when she’s not the one paying). Whether she’s admiring her shoe collection or hiding Daddy’s favorite grungy T-shirt, Mommy’s always there doing her best to be the greatest. Including sixty all-new cartoons from Andy Riley, Wine Makes Mommy Clever is an affectionate, witty tribute to moms everywhere.  Praise for Beer Makes Daddy Strong   “This will make you laugh. It is a piece of artwork, really; a collection of cartoons capturing those ‘dad moments’ that can be humiliating, embarrassing or just plain stupid.” —The Daily Telegraph   “Laugh-out-loud tour through life as a first, from the first ultrasound to holiday traffic jams and pipe and slippers time.” —News of the World   “Funny, true, and—speaking as a dad—embarrassingly accurate.” —Chris Addison
