Untitled Bok
<p>The long-awaited memoir from the beloved film and television star - known to multiple generations for his starring roles on the long-running shows Magnum, P.I. and Blue Bloods - chronicles both his life in show business and his life away from it.Nearly every American knows Tom Selleck, both by name and by face. For four decades and counting, Selleck has been a television and film icon, first in Magnum, P.I., one of the most popular and enduring shows of the eighties, and currently in Blue Bloods, where he plays New York City Police Commissioner Frank Reagan.But Selleck's career is longer, and richer, than those two hits suggest. He began in the trenches as a working actor in the late sixties and struggled for more than a decade before breaking out as Magnum. At the height of his stardom, he opted not for cookie-cutter blockbusters but for more interesting character-based projects: comedies like Three Men and a Baby and In & Out, a record-setting trilogy of TV-movie Westerns, and the acclaimed Jesse Stone TV-movie franchise. And that doesn't even count his key supporting role on the generation-defining sitcom Friends or his appearance on Broadway in a Thousand Clowns.All along the way, Selleck has been careful to balance his stardom with a devotion to family life and privacy. His memoir offers a rare and rewarding look inside that career and that life. Beginning with Selleck's Southern California childhood, following him through an America roiled by Vietnam and the counterculture, this memoir chronicles Selleck's development not just as an actor (and as an actor who worked with such legends as Mae West, Frank Sinatra, and Marlon Brando), but as a man. Rich with charm, insight, and a surprising dose of self-deprecating humour, this memoir illuminates five decades of Hollywood - and of America.A vivid and incisive portrait that combines heart and head, work and home, hard-fought wisdom and renewable optimism, Selleck's memoir is an up-close and inspiring look at America's favourite actor.</p>

My Amy Bok
<p>Written with a searing honesty and originally published for the tenth anniversary of Amy Winehouse's death, My Amy is an evocative portrait of unbreakable lifelong friendship - and a devastating study into fame, addiction and self-sabotage. Only one person knows what really happened to Amy, other than Amy herself. He is Tyler James, Amy's best friend from the age of thirteen.</p><p>They met at stage school as two insecure outsiders, formed an instant connection and lived together from their late teenage years right up until the day she died, aged just twenty-seven. Tyler was there by her side through it all. From their carefree early years touring together to the creation of the multiple Grammy-winning Back To Black, which she wrote on their kitchen floor.</p><p>From her volatile marriage to Blake Fielder-Civil through her escalating addictions, self-harm and eating disorders as the toxic nature of fame warped Amy's reality. For the last three years of her life, Tyler was with her every day when she'd beaten drugs and was close to beating alcoholism too. He also knew better than anyone the real Amy Winehouse who the tabloid-reading public rarely saw - the hilarious, uncompromising force-of-nature busy taking care of everyone else.</p><p>We all think we know what happened to Amy Winehouse, but we don't. This definitive insider's story tells us all, finally, the truth. 'Heartbreaking' - The Times</p>

Shakespeare Was A Woman And Other Heresies Bok
<b>An "extraordinarily brilliant" and "pleasurably naughty" (Andre Aciman) investigation into the Shakespeare authorship question, exploring how doubting that William Shakespeare wrote his plays became an act of blasphemy...and who the Bard might really be.</b><br/><br/>The theory that Shakespeare may not have written the works that bear his name is the most horrible, unspeakable subject in the history of English literature. Scholars admit that the Bard's biography is a "black hole," yet to publicly question the identity of the god of English literature is unacceptable, even (some say) "immoral."<br/><br/>In <i>Shakespeare Was a Woman and Other Heresies</i>, journalist and literary critic Elizabeth Winkler sets out to probe the origins of this literary taboo. Whisking you from London to Stratford-Upon-Avon to Washington, DC, she pulls back the curtain to show how the forces of nationalism and empire, religion and mythmaking, gender and class have shaped our admiration for Shakespeare across the centuries. As she considers the writers and thinkers-from Walt Whitman to Sigmund Freud to Supreme Court justices-who have grappled with the riddle of the plays' origins, she explores who may perhaps have been hiding behind his name. A forgotten woman? A disgraced aristocrat? A government spy? Hovering over the mystery are Shakespeare's plays themselves, with their love for mistaken identities, disguises, and things never quite being what they seem.<br/><br/>As she interviews scholars and skeptics, Winkler's interest turns to the larger problem of historical truth-and of how human imperfections (bias, blindness, subjectivity) shape our construction of the past. History is a story, and the story we find may depend on the story we're looking for.<br/><br/>"Lively" (<i>The Washington Post</i>), "fascinating" (Amanda Foreman), and "intrepid" (Stacy Schiff), <i>Shakespeare Was a Woman and Other Heresies</i> will forever change how you think of Shakespeare...and of how we as a society decide what's up for debate and what's just nonsense, just heresy.
