John Fischbein, the son of Holocaust survivors, was born in Australia in 1957 and grew up in an extended family of rooming-house proprietors in the suburbs of Melbourne. In 1966, his family began their long association with The Oslo Hotel in Grey Street, St. Kilda, providing a home for the many eccentric, often disenfranchised characters whose extraordinary stories are told here. In 2018, when Channel 9's 'The Block' TV series approached John with an offer to purchase The Oslo, John sensed it was time to farewell the once grand old lady of Grey Street and begin the next phase of his life. The history of The Oslo Hotel is both the history of a family who worked to provide a better life for their children and a tale- indeed, many tales-of a rooming-house and its unique residents.

Every hotelier has stories to tell. A motley collection of tales that amuse, inspire, startle and move their listeners. These anecdotes were once known only to those who worked within a hotel’s shiny walls, but now they will be shared with the rest of the world through Hotel Tales, a compilation of short stories that offer an intriguing behind-the-scenes peek at life in the hotel industry. The stories have been handpicked from the personal collections of CEOs, managers, public relations officers, and the front desk, security, F&B and housekeeping staff of various hotels in Asia. With each turn of the page, these storytellers will reveal what a trashed hotel room really looks like, the creativity involved in covering up a mishap, how they handle obnoxious guests, the lengths they go to when dignitaries come a’calling and so on. Hotel Tales will show you a side of the service industry that you have never seen before. Hotel Tales is available now in all major bookstores.

'It has to start somewhere for everyone, this daft, wild, extraordinary notion that happiness is a Scottish lap of honour and that the greatest, most hysterical happiness would be a Scottish lap of honour on a World Cup final day, England having just retired to the dressing-rooms, not just beaten, but destroyed, humiliated, thrashed, gubbed . . . ' - Ian Archer First published in 1976, We'll Support You Evermore is a collection of reminiscences about the nation's favourite game. Hilarious tales of after-match celebrations and moving accounts of growing up playing football on the mean streets of Glasgow and Edinburgh rub shoulders with memories of superb victories, glorious defeats and drunken jaunts abroad. Together, these produce an entertaining portrait of Scottish supporters. Novelist Alan Sharp and Gordon Williams contribute essays, as do journalists Ian Archer, John Rafferty and Hugh Taylor among others. Each writes about his own personal recollections of the game: the Wembley Wizards, the Famous Five, Third Lanark, the Old Firm, Queen's Park, Hearts, Hibs, and many more. There's something here for every fitba'-daft reader.

2017 Nancy Pearl Book Award After the tragic death of her husband and son on a remote island in Washington’s San Juan Islands, Eliza Waite joins the throng of miners, fortune hunters, business owners, con men, and prostitutes traveling north to the Klondike in the spring of 1898. When Eliza arrives in Skagway, Alaska, she has less than fifty dollars to her name and not a friend in the world—but with some savvy, and with the help of some unsavory characters, Eliza opens a successful bakery on Skagway’s main street and befriends a madam at a neighboring bordello. Occupying this space—a place somewhere between traditional and nontraditional feminine roles—Eliza awakens emotionally and sexually. But when an unprincipled man from her past turns up in Skagway, Eliza is fearful that she will be unable to conceal her identity and move forward with her new life. Using Gold Rush history, diary entries, and authentic pioneer recipes, Eliza Waite transports readers to the sights sounds, smells, and tastes of a raucous and fleeting era of American history.

The true story behind the events depicted in Steven Spielberg’s blockbuster Bridge of Spies On 10 February 1962, Gary Powers, the American pilot whose U2 spy plane was shot down in Soviet airspace, was released by his captors in exchange for one Colonel Rudolf Abel, aka Vilyam Fisher - one of the most extraordinary characters in the history of the Cold War. Born plain William Fisher at 140 Clara Street, Newcastle upon Tyne, this bona fide British grammar schoolboy was the child of revolutionary parents who had fled tsarist oppression in Russia. Retracing their steps, their son returned to his spiritual homeland, the newly formed Soviet Union, aged just eighteen. Willie became Vilyam and, narrowly escaping Stalin's purges, embarked on a mission to New York, where he ran the network that stole America's atomic secrets. In 1957, Willie's luck ran out and he was arrested and sentenced to thirty years in prison. Five years later, the USSR's regard for his talents was proven when they insisted on swapping him for the stricken Powers. Tracing Willie's tale from the most unlikely of beginnings in Newcastle, to Moscow, the streets of New York and back again, Abelis a singular and absorbing true story of Cold War espionage to rival anything in fiction.
