Real Glasgow
In this new addition to the Real series Ian Spring walks the streets, parks, pubs, workplaces, past and present of Glasgow, Scotland's alleged second city in an exploration of the peaks and troughs of its history leavened by his personal experiences of life there. From tenement to Necropolis, Celtic to Rangers, shipyard to St Mungo's this is Real Glasgow.
Secret Songs of Silence
Peter Buchan was born in the fishing port of Peterhead and 1790 and died in London in 1854. He was a writer, publisher and printer but is probably best known as a ballad collector whose major ballad manuscripts now reside in the British Library and the Houghton Library, Harvard University. Also in the Houghton Library is the holograph manuscript entitled Secret Songs of Silence by ‘Oliver Orpheus, Bart’ which consists of 76 bawdy and sexual folk songs. This manuscript is now published for the first time in it’s entirety. Buchan made several attempts to publish the collection in his lifetime without success. A fellow collector David Laing suggested ‘ …in reply to your ‘high-kilted muse’ my advice to you would be to put her effusions into the fire’. In retrospect it is clear that it is a very important manuscript compilation of material that was generally expurgated from nineteenth-century collections and bears comparison with the better-known collection by Robert Burns, The Merry Muses of Caledonia.

Life and Death on the Eastern Front
This incredible visual record of life and death along the Eastern Front features more than 250 images from the the PIXPAST Archive, a collection of more than 32,000 original color photographs taken between 1936 and 1946. Collated into three parts and organised thematically, the book begins with images of the ground war, including Hitler’s invasion of the Soviet Union and the tanks, vehicles, weaponry and infantry on both sides. Moving into the war in the skies, the images depict aircraft in flight and on the ground, the bombers, fighters, Luftwaffe personnel and the destruction wrought from battle. And finally, the images take us behind the lines, to the prisoners of war, partisans, medics, the daily lives and leisure activities of soldiers and civilians along the front and the impact of the harsh Russian winter. Accompanied by text by renowned author and commentator Anthony Tucker-Jones, these images offer a rare, often surprising insight into the realities of the Second World War and people caught up in it, in vivid color detail.
