Blandford Through Time
This fascinating selection of more than 180 photographs traces some of the many ways in which Blandford has changed and developed over the last century. The almost complete destruction of Blandford Forum by the large scale fire of 1731 and its subsequent rebuilding by John and William Bastard remains the main stamp on the town and makes Blandford Forum a place that visitors come to admire. It is this that leads it to be called A Unique Georgian TownA". Like other towns Blandford Forum has evolved and changed over the years yet it has still managed to retain a great deal of its Georgian architectural heritage. The way in which buildings have been used has changed as the needs of the townspeople have changed, but it still retains the feel of a market town. Its architecture is a feature of the town that has been appreciated and preserved down through the centuries by its residents, and for that we can all be grateful. This fact makes our glimpse of Blandford's past and present a fascinating journey through time.

Born to Fail?: Social Mobility: A Working Class View
Sonia Blandford, CEO of award-winning charity Achievement for All, writes brilliantly and honestly about the facing up to the realities of the white working class and how to address social mobility from the inside. No-one in the UK is better placed than Sonia to write about the struggles of white working class pupils in our schools. She grew up on the Allied Estate in Hounslow and was the first member of her family to pursue education beyond the age of 14 and was also the first to attend university. Sonia lost her mother when she took an accidental overdose, when she couldn't read the doctor's prescription. This tragic failing served as one of the inspirations for her to set up the award-winning Achievement for All organisation, who work with thousands of schools to help close the attainment gap. Born to Fail? tackles head-on issues such as why education often doesn't matter to the working class; how education has failed to deliver for them; the importance of self-belief, action and confidence; and how the Early Years is the crucial time to build success from the start.

Hound Dog
The best Elvis impersonator novel you will ever read Call him Elvis. The premier Elvis impersonator in the whole of the Cambridgeshire region. He's overweight and bald and old. He is partial to cocaine, sells skunk to local teenagers and masturbates six or seven times a day. And he hates Elvis Presley. Things start to go wrong for Elvis when his backing singers, Gay Elvis and Fat Elvis, jump ship and have to replaced by Buddy Holly, a postman with bladder problems. Then Eddie, a dubious businessman, calls offering the biggest gig of Elvis's career - performing at the birthday party of a vicious gangster who just happens to be married to Elvis's third ex-wife. 'Phoenix Nights meets American Psycho. In Cambridge.' Kevin Sampson 'Hound Dog is distressingly, worryingly funny. With skill and sensitivity, Blandford keeps the reader laughing, even through the depravity; even through the despair; even, indeed, through the moments of startling ferocity.' Niall Griffiths 'Slick, efficient and faintly nasty.' Observer 'Squalid, raucous and wildly entertaining.' Dan Rhodes
