-: HarperCollins, 1995. Paperback. Good. -. Synopsis:- Continuing the story begun in The Hobbit, all three parts of the epic masterpiece, The Lord of the Rings, in one paperback. Features the definitive edition of the text, fold-out flaps with the original two-colour maps, and a revised and expanded index. Sauron, the Dark Lord, has gathered to him all the Rings of Power - the means by which he intends to rule Middle-earth. All he lacks in his plans for dominion is the One Ring - the ring that rules them all - which has fallen into the hands of the hobbit, Bilbo Baggins. In a sleepy village in the Shire, young Frodo Baggins finds himself faced with an immense task, as the Ring is entrusted to his care. He must leave his home and make a perilous journey across the realms of Middle-earth to the Crack of Doom, deep inside the territories of the Dark Lord. There he must destroy the Ring forever and foil the Dark Lord in his evil purpose. Since it was first published in 1954, The Lord of the Rings has been a book people have treasured. Steeped in unrivalled magic and otherworldliness, its sweeping fantasy has touched the hearts of young and old alike. This single-volume paperback edition is the definitive text, fully restored with almost 400 corrections - with the full co-operation of Christopher Tolkien - and features a striking new cover.-> the publiser of this PAPERBACK book is HarperCollins in 1995 it has 1137 pages booksalvation have grade it as Good and it will be shipped from our UK warehouse shipping is Free for UK buyers and at a reasonable charge for buyer outside the UK, HarperCollins, 1995, Didsbury, Manchester: Pride Publications, 1982.

In My Autobiography, Aussie leg-spin maestro Shane Warne, perhaps the outstanding cricketer of his generation--and one of the most consistently newsworthy characters in sport--takes stock of a phenomenally successful career, and gives his account of the scandals and controversies that have sent the media into spasms of delighted indignation.From his days as a frustrated teenage wannabe Aussie Rules star, who decided he might as well try his hand at cricket, Warne has almost single-handedly taken the gentle, studious art of spin-bowling and turned it into a thrilling gladiatorial spectacle--on the way gathering career stats that rank him in company with the game's all-time elite.Warne crashed into the world spotlight in 1993, when his first-ever ball in Ashes cricket made seasoned England star Mike Gatting look like a floundering buffoon:In the second or so it took to leave my hand, swerve to pitch outside leg stump, fizz past the batsmen's lunge forward and clip off stump, my life did change ... Ian Botham said he hadn't seen the same look of wide-eyed horror on Gatting's face since somebody had stolen his lunch a few years before. Quantity Available: 1.

"Bessie Head was a born writer, but one born also to a deprived childhood and a life of often recurring hardship. Indeed, her life echoes many aspects of the distressing history of South Africa in the last half-century. She was born in an asylum to a white woman who was considered mad; her father was black. Yet despite the disadvantages of being both a person of mixed race and a woman she made her way in Cape Town and Johannesburg as a journalist. As the political crisis deepened in South Africa in the 1960s, Bessie went into exile in rural Botswana. Although her life as a refugee in Botswana was full of crises and upheavals, her creative energy was released by her adopted country and she produced stories and novels - such as Where Rain Clouds Gather, Maru, A Question of Power - that won her an international reputation. Bessie Head - Thunder Behind Her Ears is an engrossing biography of the turbulent life of one of Africa's great writers, whose reputation is growing by the year. It describes with insight the driving force of Bessie's writing talent, her fiery personality and her often grinding circumstances." ., (Cape Town: David Philip, 1995)<
