Charlotte and Leopold
"Chambers offers a vivid and sympathetic portrait of a couple whose lives are in many ways not their own. From the day she was born Charlotte won the hearts of her subjects.

Footballers' Haircuts
Footballers' haircuts have reached a new level of artistry, dazzling in their variety: from the short, the long and the truly inexplicable to the ones that change weekly, Jim Chambers has rediscovered them in all their glory. This book, including the hairstyle hits from the 2010 World Cup, is a celebration of the mad, the truly bad and the ludicrous hair from the last twenty years of the glory game.
