Stirling Moss - The Definitive Biography, Volume 1

A biography worthy of Britain's greatest racing driver.

Stirling Moss is one of the greatest sportsman of all time. He was successful in all forms of motor sport but most particularly in Grand Prix racing. The 'Beckham of his era', Moss not only dominated the back pages of the newspapers but regularly made the front pages with his glamorous, jet-setting lifestyle in the '50s. He raced hard; he played hard. He was the James Bond of motorsport.

Here, at last, is a serious biography worthy of the great man, a sporting icon who was a hero to many a schoolboy. One such was author, Philip Porter. Debunking myths, correcting many mistakes and adding much new information, including previously unrecorded races, this is probably the most deeply researched motoring biography ever written.

Porter is the author of around 30 books, including several on motor racing and four written with Moss, but this is the book he always wanted to write. Two years' research has gone into this first volume of two, that digs far deeper than any book previously published. Indeed, it is the most in-depth book ever published on a racing driver, and probably any motoring personality and very possibly any sportsman or woman who has lived.

Queen: The Definitive Biography

June 19,

Here is the story of Queen, one of the greatest bands in rock history. The book did what it said on the tin: it went through the lives of guitarist Brian May, drummer Roger Taylor, bassist John Deacon, and singer Freddie Mercury, from birth, throughout their youth, their respective meetings, their careers as a musical unit, Mercury's death, and a few later activities of the band up until the date of publication in Although I enjoy Queen's music, I am not an avid fan, and never really followed the band in the tabloids at the height of their fame, so there were some interesting snippets of which I was not aware. Finally, it went into some detail about Mercury's illness and passing which, after the tale of their amazingly successful lives, struck a melancholic chord. There were even some words of hope at the end for Queen surviving somehow into the future.
