London
City of cities, the modern world’s first great metropolis, London has shaped everything from clothing to youth culture. It has a unique place in the world’s memory, even as its role has changed from the capital of the planet to its playground, and as its lived history has mutated into the heritage industry. In this book, Londoner Phil Baker explores the city’s history and the London of today, balancing well-known major events with more curious and eccentric details. He reveals a city of almost unmatched historical density and richness. For Baker, London turns out to be Gothic in all senses of the word and enjoyably haunted by its own often bloody past. And despite extensive redevelopment, as he shows in this engaging and insightful book, some of the magic remains.
Lord of Strange Deaths
Forever associated with his creation of evil genius Dr Fu Manchu, Sax Rohmer (1883-1959) was the king of pulp exotica. At the height of his fame he was one of the most popular writers on the planet. Lord of Strange Deaths is the first attempt to do justice to Rohmer. Contributors focus on subjects including Egyptology, 1890s decadence, Edwardian super-villains and Chinese dragon ladies, and the Arabian Nights. The result is a testimony to the enduring fascination and relevance of Rohmer's absurd, sinister and immensely atmospheric world.
Austin Osman Spare
Austin Spare was described as the greatest draughtsman in England and was the enfant terrible of the Edwardian art scene but by the time of his death he was living in squalor and all but forgotten. This engaging biography charts the rise and fall of British art's darkest star, who was facinated by mysticism and spirtualism and practised automatic drawing before the Surrealists and developed a unique system of magic. By the 1930s Spare had retreated from fashionable society, living in poverty and obscurity but he never stopped working, only now is his work seen.

Summary of Neil Young & Phil Baker's To Feel the Music
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Music has been a great joy in my life. I’ve performed for more than fifty years, and written and recorded scores of albums. I’ve traveled around the world performing for audiences in dozens of countries. #2 The acceptance of poor quality ripples throughout the industry and makes it even more difficult to reverse direction. People get used to hearing this poorer quality and many never experience what music could sound like. #3 The deterioration of quality is not happening with other digital content, only audio. The record companies want to charge more to stream high-resolution music because it sounds better, but this is wrong. If the record companies were to take the price restrictions off the streaming companies, then it would be up to the streaming companies to improve their technology and bring high-quality music into the twenty-first century. #4 The music and technology industries argue that people can’t hear the difference between high and low quality audio, but that doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be there. Some people can hear the difference, and they deserve to be able to hear it.
Austin Osman Spare
Austin Osman Spare is the definitive biography of the controversial occultist and artist, an enfant terrible of the Edwardian art world whose work was both hailed as genius and decried as immoral decadence. As George Bernard Shaw reportedly said, "Spare's medicine is too strong for the average man." Trained as a draughtsman, Spare enjoyed early acclaim when, at the age of seventeen, his work was shown at the Royal Academy in London. But his star soon declined; Spare went underground, falling out of the gallery system to live in poverty and obscurity. After a brief association with Aleister Crowley, he became absorbed in occultism and sorcery, voyaging into inner dimensions, while developing ...
