'Set in 1990, D.J. Taylor's third novel portrays England in the final throes of Thatcherism… English Settlement is a financial thriller, a dark tale of crooked accounting, management by buy-outs, City double-dealings…characterised by passages of fine writing and nicely dry observations of a country and its institutions in steep decline.'

Does your dog say obedience schmodience?
With the help of the Rabbis of the Boca Raton Seminary, learn how to use guilt, shame, passive aggression and conditional unconditional love to train your dog. It's all here including:
• The five ways of commanding 'Sit!' ('What, would it kill you to sit down for one lousy second?')
• A useful list of Advanced Commands ('Don't stare at Cousin Edith's hair when she comes over.')
• How to use Situational Martyrdom when the dog disobeys ('Fine. Do what you want. I hope you have a nice life.')
The rabbis have been training dogs – and their owners – for twenty years. Now they bring the fruits of their vast experience to dog owners everywhere. And the best part? You don't have to be Jewish to benefit from the programme. Just neurotic. Or crazy about your dog.

Ron Chisholm, small-time villain: runs a tidy loansharking and gambling operation. Russell Fisher, terrace legend gone straight: adrift in the wage-slave world of take-aways and nights down the boozer. Ron's got something Russell wants – and it's not his offer of gainful employment on the firm – something that's been Russell's all along. Ron doesn't know it yet, but Russell's planning on taking it back.
Council leader Goodge has rubber-stamped the odd late licence for Ron's club. He reckons Ron owes him. But there's trouble brewing in Illingford – the streets are electric and the police are getting jumpy. Goodge needs a bit of muscle and he knows just where to find it.
Zaffir Khan's on life support. He owed Ron folding, which meant he had a visit from Trevor, Ron's psychotic little brother. It weren't personal, but Trevor can't stand being messed around.
Polo geezers and page three princesses rub shoulders with gangsters and politicians in Greg William's razor-sharp first novel. Hilarious, disturbing and always brutally realistic, Diamond Geezers is where Pulp Fiction lurks in contemporary London.
