Live Forever: The Rise Fall and...

John Robb

The finest book on Britain's most popular rock 'n' roll band'Read on … It's all true' Noel Gallagher
Featuring an exclusive interview with Noel Gallagher and bespoke artwork by celebrated Oasis album designer Brian Cannon
Think Oasis was just Britpop and brawls?
Think again.
John Robb was there every step of the way. In this, the definitive book on Britain’s biggest band, he peels back the layers of Manchester’s best-known musical export, revealing a tale of ambition, ego, talent and a whole lot of attitude. From the estates of South Manchester to the dizzying heights of global stardom, Live Forever is a rollercoaster ride through the Gallagher brothers’ turbulent lives and the music that defined a generation. But it is also a portrait of Britain around the turn of the millennium and the cultural forces and places that shaped, and were shaped by, two cocksure upstarts from Burnage – from art to fashion, and from football to politics.
Playful, funny and irreverent, and drawing on dozens of interviews and first-hand stories, this book puts Oasis squarely in the pantheon of music royalty as the last great rock ’n’ roll stars.
John Robb's Live Forever is a Sunday Times bestselling book that takes readers on a journey through the history of Oasis. This biography, a top pick in non-fiction, explores the styles and influences that shaped the band, making it a must-read for fans of music history.
For fans of Simon Spence (All or Nothing), Legs Mcneil (I Slept With Joey Ramone), Steven Blush (Hard-Core), Lol Tolhurst (Cured), and Nige Tassell (Searching for Dexys Midnight Runners).

Let's Go Exploring: Calvin and...

Michael Hingston

A fascinating investigation of a beloved comic strip The internet is home to impassioned debates on just about everything, but there’s one thing that’s universally beloved: Bill Watterson’s comic strip Calvin and Hobbes. Until its retirement in 1995 after a ten-year run, the strip won numerous awards and drew tens of millions of readers from all around the world.  
 
The story of a boy and his best friend ― a stuffed tiger ― was a pitch-perfect distillation of the joys and horrors of childhood, and a celebration of imagination in its purest form. In Let’s Go Exploring, Michael Hingston mines the strip and traces the story of Calvin’s reclusive creator to demonstrate how imagination ― its possibilities, its opportunities, and ultimately its limitations ― helped make Calvin and Hobbes North America’s last great comic strip.
