Signed Copy Of Nil
Desperandum |

Born into
abject poverty and a culture of crime in the East End of
London shortly before the Second World War, Patsy Feeley
soon realised that life was all about determination and
survival. After long spells in approved school, detention
centre, borstal and the Army, he developed a healthy disdain
and distrust of authority.
Employing streetwise skills and ingenuity, he embarked on an
adventurous life of crime and excitement. He was soon
spotted and recruited by a gang of professional armed
robbers to take part in plundering banks and security vans
across London and the south-east of England, quickly earning
a reputation as “one of the best armed robbers and
money-getters in London”.
While at the peak of his notoriety and success, however, he
was faced with a quadruple nightmare: a long prison
sentence, a gangland murder investigation, cancer of the
throat and a severe stroke that left him in a wheelchair.
Yet, bullheaded and intransigent to the last, he somehow
managed to pull himself back from the abyss.
This book not only provides an eye-opener about crime,
criminals, the justice system and prison, but also the
health-care system and the problems associated with being a
severely disabled person. It is the warts-and-all story of
one of the great oaks of East End folklore and, above all, a
story of immense human suffering and endurance that can only
demand respect.

Lost Chances |
 |
In 1970s
apartheid-torn South Africa, on the vast, sun-drenched
expanses of the Eastern Cape, St Ann’s mission hospital
staff find themselves drawn unwittingly into a dangerous and
violent underworld blighted by interracial tensions,
corruption, exploitation, deceit, manipulation and selfish
ambition, in the wake of the continuing disappearance of
local black girls, two brutal murders and a vicious rape.
But who is responsible and what are their motives?
Vietnam war veteran, medical specialist and Roman Catholic
priest, Tom Dooley, together with a young and courageous
journalist, Sonja Vermeulen, fuelled by the opposing needs
of both justice and revenge, are determined to get to the
bottom of the crisis and expose the perpetrators. But are
they simply small-town thugs or are higher powers at work,
people who will stop at nothing to safeguard their sordid
business? And who can be trusted?
Geraldine du Plessis, the attractive, seductive and
narcissistic wife of a wealthy Afrikaner farmer, may hold
some of the answers, but is she really as vulnerable as she
seems or is there some hidden agenda? There is no turning
back from the deadly game of cat and mouse that ominously
unfolds, and painful sacrifices will have to be made, but
will the price ultimately be too high?

Raised On Elvis!Elvis!Elvis! |
 |
Like millions
of first-generation Rock & Roll teens, Sandi Haynes Pichon,
Author, Columnist & President of TCB ELVIS STYLE Fan Club in
Louisiana, was Raised on ELVIS! ELVIS! ELVIS! In between the
time she sat with him on his motorcycle at his Audubon Drive
home until the day she stood weeping by his coffin inside
Graceland, Sandi was front row and center for ELVIS concerts
all over the country. As a pre-teen in Memphis, she was
there to witness a regional attraction which become a
national obsession; she devoted years of her adult life to
being part of his global audience, and has since dedicated
herself to charities that pay homage to his iconic memory.
Through several chance meetings with ELVIS himself and
friendships with his inner circle Sandi was close enough to
feel for the wonderful man that was living in the shadow of
his awesome reputation. They exchanged gifts and kisses
across the footlights and she was invited to the parties
after the shows and even to Graceland Mansion. "I was so
fortunate to have been able to have such meaningful contact
with the most beloved entertainer ever," Sandi relates. "I
always knew that I was there for the millions who wished
they were, so this story belongs to all the fans, who have
loved him, turned their rooms into shrines to him, and stood
by him for all these years." So now enjoy this pictorial
novella of a time and place where a man changed the world
one heart at a time.

The Hero's and Villains store has a copy of the incredibly rare
book called "Looking At Life By Joey Pyle" which is one of the
very few that are in existents world wide. The proceeds of this
book will go to Zoe's Place which is a charity that was avidly
supported by Joey Pyle Snr right up to the end.

A description of this book by its editor
"This book came about not because of one man's
passion to see his work published like most, but by accident.
What you're about to read wasn't ever intended for the eyes of
the public. Joe Pyle first created the works within, that I call
"advices", as a tribute and a gift to his family and friend for
standing by him through hard times - a book of thanks. "
"Each piece was first created and then, later on, a title was
added. The sentiments and feeling that flowed from Joe's inner
soul were transformed into life though Joe's pen. Each piece has
a special meaning, but each of us can draw strength from such
works. There's no golden daffodils or mention of romantic red,
red roses within the confines of these works, which Joe was at a
low point in his life when he penned the advixes then it makes
it all the more realistic in what can be contrived from such
pieces of raw emotion. "
"In many of the pieces you can see Joe's heart on fire and his
thoughts are at times, in turmoil and yet a sense of hope always
shines through like rays of sunshine shining through the darkest
of clouds. That's exactly how life replicates such an image -
hope always shining through our worst nightmares. "
"We can, through Joe's eyes, take n opportunity to look at life
and with the help of a few friends and other characters within
the book can be made into something to remember - for all the
right reasons. "
"No doubt there will be some sensationalism attached to this
book because of certain contents. I, as the editor, make it
quite clear that each and every person within this book has
agreed to help either as a result of their connection to Joe or
their sole interest in helping Zoe's Place and for no other
reason. Each person within had no knowledge of who else was to
be featured. "
"The sole aim of this book is to bring people together in an act
of kindness to help generate enough cash for Zoe's Place to keep
it open forever. The only hospice for babies in the world, as
far as we know, has managed to bring a wide and varied
collection of celebrities together that otherwise wouldn't have
ever rubbed shoulders let alone crossed each other's paths. "
