Your techniques have given me the tools to become the best player I can be. Joe Everett (aka: dart face) New York City Certainly from reading the additional information in George's book (a must for all dart players) I now understand and feel when my stroke is good and bad and also I'm in a position where I am able to correct it if the first dart thrown is poor. Antony Sharrett (aka: Tanman) Harrogate, England I know it's working for me because now what feels like a bad night would have been considered a great night 6 months ago. Mark Kelly (aka: Drac0) Australia I have never felt more controlled and focused with my darts. The drills, the reading material, all of it are a huge help. Greg Kanes (aka: P-man) S. Africa The way George writes makes you wanna read it. Davin Burgess, (aka: davin) Nashville, Tennessee, U.S.A.

How did you spend the long, hot, World Cup summer of 2018? For Jonathan Northcroft, chief football writer of The Sunday Times, it was 35 unforgettable days spent criss-crossing Russia, covering the biggest sporting event on the planet. He reported on a new England team: young, daring and successful both on the pitch, where they defied expectations to reach the semi-final, and off it, where they took on reporters in a darts challenge. He discovered a different Russia to the hostile state he was warned about in pre-tournament security briefings: open, friendly and football mad. And he experienced the rush of working as a football writer at the very top of the game: meeting the players, going to the games, and battling the deadlines. This is his personal account of a month when we dropped everything to watch the best World Cup for a generation.

Truth Windows centers around the construction of a straw bale house by students of Lakemont Academy, a private school in the fictional town of Lakemont, Utah. Senior Cynthia Morgan, editor of the Academy newspaper, is the main character. Juniors Matt Willits and Logan Stillwell are friends who share her affection. Matt, nicknamed Spike for his creative hairstyle, is a student at Millcreek High in nearby Granite City. Logan Stillwell, Lakemont's all-state basketball player from Chicago, is also foreman of the straw bale construction crew. Plot events include conflict among these three characters as well as problems at home for Cynthia. Action stretches from March to June. Basketball season is almost over when Matt is arrested for setting fire to the straw bale house. With Logan's help, Cynthia sets out to prove Matt's innocence. In order to do this, she must confront antagonist Stacey Pepperwood and take upon herself the burden of uncertain truth. Caught in an emotional triangle, Cynthia must make decisions that have life-altering consequences. Included in the novel are school scenes; basketball games; descriptions of Utah, including the Great Salt Lake and red rock country; and information on straw bale construction. Mormonism is not a major plot mover, but it rumbles on the sidelines. A special feature of straw bale houses, truth windows provide a multi-layered title for the story.

The crew of the Norland were having a whale of a time in 1982, ferrying passengers between Rotterdam and Hull. Especially the 'girls' in the catering crew: Wendy, Frankie and Candy, all stewards and all gay men. So when their ferry was requisitioned by the government to transfer nine hundred paratroopers to Ascension Island for the war in the Falklands, the 'girls' jumped at the chance to be part of the crew. Shockingly, they were asked to carry on right into the heart of the Falklands, where they were to be the very first ship of the entire Task Force to make a landing. Untrained and unprepared, the crew faced heavy bombardment from the Argentinian air force. Miraculously, the Norland survived intact as many other ships were destroyed around it. And, just as miraculously, the paratroopers eventually looked on their camp catering staff as the heroes of their war. Written with the real-life protagonists, this book relates their incredible experiences in a war they never signed up for, while demonstrating how lasting bonds can be formed between the unlikeliest of people.

'Extremely funny' - Guardian Booze, Bullseyes and (more) Booze Humanity has come a long way in the 500,000 years since Neanderthal man first started chucking spears around. Or has it? In his blisteringly funny new book, former professional player Wayne Mardle, whose crowd-pleasing antics were even more lively off stage than they were on, blows the lid off one of the UK's biggest televised sports. Known in darts circles as Hawaii 501 on account of his colourful Hawaiian shirts (yours for just forty-five quid - he's got a garage full of them) Mardle remains one of the planet's most recognisable players, having performed on the world stage during a professional career that saw him play all the greats and, quite frankly, lose to most of them. In this witty (frequently), honest (largely), and poignant (twice) guide to life both on and off the oche, Mardle delivers world-class advice - such as why you shouldn't go on a two-day Vegas booze bender before a major PDC final, or how to avoid going live on European TV with a string of expletives so outrageous that clips are still replayed, years later, on Belgian telly. Some are lessons Mardle learned the hard way; others, like why it's best to avoid being sued by a well-known biscuit manufacturer, are gleaned from green-room gossip spanning decades.
