Serena
Serena Williams is the most successful tennis player – male or female – of the modern, professional era, with more Grand Slams than either Steffi Graf or Roger Federer. Always a fierce competitor, her story – which began on the cracked public courts of Compton, L.A. – is also one of overcoming challenges through sheer determination, drive and talent. In this innovative illustrated biography, Serena's tennis is explored like never before: stunning graphics explore her serving patterns, signature power groundstrokes, and her movement – as well as showcasing her astonishing records, spanning over two decades in the tennis elite. Drawing on conversations with Serena over the course of her career, and on interviews with those closest to her, this is the ultimate celebration of arguably the greatest tennis player of all time and, without question, a true global icon.
No One Round Here Reads Tolstoy
Mark Hodkinson grew up among the terrace houses of Rochdale in a house with just one book. Today, Mark is an author, journalist and publisher. He still lives in Rochdale but is now surrounded by 3,500 titles, at the last count. No One Round Here Reads Tolstoy is his story of growing up a working-class lad during the 1970s and 1980s. It’s about the schools, the music, the people – but pre-eminently and profoundly the books and authors that led the way and shaped his life. It’s about a family who didn’t see the point of reading, and a troubled grandad who taught Mark the power of stories. It’s also a story of how writing and reading has changed over the last five decades.

Life Sentence
Rochdale FC are England's worst performing professional football club. They have spent the last 27 seasons in the basement division - a longer spell than any other club. Mark Hodkinson has supported Rochdale FC throughout this period. As a boy, he lived in the town, and the club has formed a touchstone of his life since he first saw them play on a cold, misty night in 1974. He has missed just a handful of home matches since then. At the start of the 2000/2001 season he was commissioned by The Times to write a weekly bulletin from Spotland. Over the course of the season, these articles provided a compelling insight into the fanaticism engendered for the country's lower league sides. As one of Britain's most respected sports writers, Hodkinson - through these humorous, informed, and passionate pieces - was able to turn his hand to the subject closest to his heart, Rochdale FC. He had undertaken similar commissions at Barnsley and Manchester City and these were also compiled as books, Life at the Top and Blue Moon, which are widely regarded as football classics. Blue Moon was Sportspages' best-selling book of 1999 and has already been reprinted several times. Life Sentence developed c
Ivan Lendl- The Man Who Made Murray
When Andy Murray broke the news in March 2014 that he was parting company with Ivan Lendl it caused shock waves across the world. In just over two years Lendl had turned Murray from a perennial runner-up into the most successful British tennis player since Fred Perry - a winner of the US Open, Olympic Gold and Wimbledon Champion. However, when Murray - a 4 times Grand Slam finalist - announced, in 2011, that he was teaming up with the man they called the 'chokoslovakian' for the number of times he had lost a Slam final, there was widespread consensus that whoever had made the decision was either a genius or taking a huge gamble. Lendl, who had fled from behind the Iron Curtain at the height ...

From Tom Hodgkinson, editor of the Idler, comes How to be Idle, an antidote to the work-obsessed culture which puts so many obstacles between ourselves and our dreams.
