All are gripping and entertaining as well as informative. They are written in the first person. You will warm to the character narrating the yarn and admire the authors' determination. A Walk On The Wild Side has an amazing set of stories from treasure hunting to paddling in arctic waters. Want to protect yourself in a tight spot? Our self-defence guides are invaluable. They are written by an expert in his field, Tony Haigh, and highly endorsed. Dirt bikes and Dreams by Rod Brown will take you off-road to wonderful places. We have several sailing guides.
