The Minimalist Photographer
This book covers photography from a minimalist perspective, proving that it is possible to take very good photographs with relatively cheap equipment.

Charlotte Church
Who exactly is the real Charlotte Church? Is she the "voice of an angel" who found fame and earned millions before she was 15? Or is she the "hell's angel" who dominates the tabloids by falling out of bars and into taxis in the early hours? Model and musician Steve Johnson is the only man who really knows. In this passionate autobiography, Steve reveals exactly how his love for Charlotte began, how their shared love of music kept them together, and how external pressures led to their explosive, heart-breaking split.

Told here for the first time, it is a unique insight into the world of the modern celebrity, and into the very heart of Charlotte Church.
