DEAD UNTIL DARK
Book 1 in the Sookie Stackhouse Southern Vampire Mysteries
by CHARLAINE HARRIS
See other books in the series - click here
New softcover book, measures 18 x 11cm, 294 pages. True Blood tie-in edition
Sookie Stackhouse is just a small-time cocktail waitress in small-town Louisiana. She's quiet, keeps to herself and doesn't get out much. Not because she's not pretty. She is. It's just that, well, Sookie has this sort of 'disability'. She can read minds. And that doesn't make her too dateable. And then along comes Bill. He's tall, dark, handsome - and Sookie can't hear a word he's thinking. He's exactly the type of guy she's been waiting for all her life ....
But Bill has a disability of his own: he's a vampire with a bad reputation. He hangs with a seriously creepy crowd, all suspected of - big surprise - murder. And when one of Sookie's coworkers is killed, she fears she's next.
Maybe having a vampire for a boyfriend isn't such a bright idea.

TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD
by HARPER LEE
See other Modern Classics click here
New softcover book, 281pages. Mass market paperback version published by Grand Central Publishing
"Shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit 'em, but remember it's a sin to kill a mockingbird."
A lawyer's advice to his children as he defends the real mockingbird of Harper Lee's classic novel--a black man charged with the rape of a white girl. Through the young eyes of Scout and Jem Finch, Harper Lee explores with rich humor and unswerving honesty the irrationality of adult attitudes toward race and class in the Deep South of the 1930s. The conscience of a town steeped in prejudice, violence, and hypocrisy is pricked by the stamina and quiet heroism of one man's struggle for justice--but the weight of history will only tolerate so much.

Brand new softcover book, gorgeous colour photos. Published 2007, 256 pages, measures 15 x 18 cm.
Simple but satisfying curry recipes
Fresh and fragrant, spicy and satisfying, the curries of south and southeast Asia are now a mainstay in most western countries. Today you can find in your local supermarket just about all the ingredients you need to make a remarkable range of curries at home - and this is what Curry Bible is about.
Curries in the western world have come a long way since the days when, in the average home, they largely consisted of a stew of meat, and sometimes fruit such as sultanas, flavoured with bought English 'curry powder', a legacy of British colonialists in India. A staple food of most Asia-Pacific cuisines, with innumerable regional variations, curries have been (and continue to be) adopted and adapted all around the world, to suit local ingredients and tastes.
