ISTANBUL: THE ESSENTIAL VISITOR GUIDEBOOK
A wholly practical guidebook to a wonderful city with plenty of revelatory advice for the first time visitor and those who consider themselves honorary Stamboulis alike.With full colour photographs.

PIGGERY JOKERY IN TONGA
Part holiday, part detective mystery – a trip to the Friendly Islands to get to the bottom of a land purchase scam – a travelogue with a difference but definitely a wonderful place you’ll want to visit for its spectacular unspoiled scenery, its amazing beaches, and its marvellously hospitable people.

ISTANBUL IN PICTURES
A tour of Istanbul in pictures presented in order so that they represent the geography and scenery as a visitor might encounter them in the course of a week spent in this fabulous city.

GDAŃSK BY IPAD
Amazing pictures of a Polish city which looks medieval but was completely recreated after WWII – a tribute to Gdansk and that marvellous tool, the iPad.

CROC CURRY & TEXAS TEA
The business culture in Nigeria is wholly alien to the way things are done elsewhere. For one thing a Friday night treat is a Crocodile Madras. For another, Texas Tea, the first gush of oil from a new well, means wealth beyond belief And for yet another the threat of violence is ever-present. This book is in part an amusing travelogue and part deadly serious guidance on what to expect if you find yourself going to work there.

THE ERSTWHILE BUDDHIST
A year in Darwin, a city unlike any other, even in Australia. Darwin is partly magical and partly hellish due to its heat and its fauna and flora which place unusual strains on relationships and on just living.

INTO AFRICA
Less a travel story than a warning. A senior British fire officer’s visit to Tanzania in the wake of a deadly school fire.
