  “Equal parts critical manifesto and tender mini-memoir about a boy and his bikes” from Eben Weiss, blogger and author of The Enlightened Cyclist (GQ).   Cycling is exploding in a good way. Urbanites everywhere, from ironic hipsters to earth-conscious commuters, are taking to the bike like aquatic mammals to water. BikeSnobNYC—cycling’s most prolific, well-known, hilarious, and anonymous blogger—brings a fresh and humorous perspective to the most important vehicle to hit personal transportation since the horse. Bike Snob treats readers to a laugh-out-loud rant and rave about the world of bikes and their riders and offers a unique look at the ins and outs of cycling, from its history and hallmarks to its wide range of bizarre practitioners. Throughout, the author lampoons the missteps, pretensions, and absurdities of bike culture while maintaining a contagious enthusiasm for cycling itself. Bike Snob is an essential volume for anyone who knows, is, or wants to become a cyclist.  “This is a social manual that should be bundled with every bike shipped in America.” —Christian Lander, author of Stuff White People Like  “I like to think I know a thing or two (or three) about being ruthless and relentless—either trying to win the Tour or fighting cancer. The Snob knows it too. Keeping us dorks in line is tough work. I take pleasure in getting picked on by the Snob, slightly more pleasure in reading his writing, but take the most pleasure punishing his ass (my payback) on the bike either in Central Park or on 9W/River Road. Long live the Snob.” —Lance Armstrong

  Now brought bang up to date to include City's sensational final-day comeback win over Aston Villa which clinched the Premier League title for the fourth time in the last five seasons. City were 2-0 down with just 14 minutes left. Here's the story of how the Blues turned it round to triumph 3-2!
  Manchester City – 50 Memorable Matches is Stuart Brodkin's very personal account of watching City from 1956 to the present day and is more than just an eyewitness record, it's a roller-coaster ride with the lowest of the lows and the highest of the highs along the way.
  The book takes in the Cup Final triumphs and tragedies, the Joe Mercer and Malcolm Allison regime that brought the First Division title and the European Cup-Winners' Cup to Maine Road, and the latter years when the Abu Dhabi project made City the team of the decade in the UK, highlighted by a clean sweep of domestic honours under Pep Guardiola.In between, there is the day when Alan Ball mis-calculated and the team was relegated and the drama of the Second Division play-off final at Wembley when the Sky Blues looked almost certain to end up in English football's lowest professional tier.
  Add into the mix the iconic 'Aguerooo' moment at the Etihad when the club's first Premier League title was clinched under Roberto Mancini in one of the most sensational games in the history of football and lots of personal experiences of going to games the length and breadth of the country and abroad and you have a book that all City fans will want to get their hands on.The book consists of 50 memorable games that Stuart attended, starting in the mid-50s right up to Project Restart and the 2020-21 season. bringing in his own experiences, having met several of the team's superstars.
  Manchester-born Stuart Brodkin, now exiled in London 188.4 miles from the Etihad, has been a City fan all his life. He attended Manchester Grammar School, but skipped university to begin a career as a journalist, graduating from local papers to working in Fleet Street for the Daily Mirror and Daily Express. He has written numerous sports books and biographies including Enter the Dragon, the autobiography of Theo Paphitis

  For Sig Hansen and his brothers, commercial fishing is as much a part of their Norwegian heritage as their names. Descendents of the Vikings who roamed and ruled the northern seas for centuries, the Hansens' connection to the sea stretches from Alaska to Seattle and all the way to Norway. And after 20 years as a skipper on the commercial fishing vessel the Northwestern — which was his father's before him - Sig has lived to tell the tales.Sig first went out onto the Bering Sea on the Northwestern at the age of 12, and every summer after that until he graduated high school. With its brutal storms of 40-foot waves, gale winds, freezing spray and treacherous ice-cover, the Bering Sea is a true frontier, deadly in its unpredictability. To be a successful fisherman, you need to be a mechanic, navigator, welder, painter, carpenter, and sometimes, a firefighter. To be a successful fisherman year after year, you need to be a survivor.This is the story of a family of survivors; part memoir and part adventure tale, Northwestern Saga brings readers on deck, into the dockside bars and into the history of a family with a common destiny.A Macmillan Audio production.
