Book Description
Fiat have built millions of vehicles since 1899 but the company is perhaps best known for its ability to produce small, economical, characterful cars. 'Great Small Fiats' traces this concept from the birth of the 500A 'Topolino' in the 1930s up the current Panda and a hint of the proposed Nuova 500. Each of the selected models are described in detail from their conception through to current ownership in the hands of collectors and enthusiasts. The chapters include practical information on buying and running a small Fiat and restoration advice for the older cars. Also included are Fiats built under licence outside of Italy and the Fiat-derived 'etceterini' coachbuilt and competition cars.

Book Description
Whilst there are enough celebrity connections and anecdotes not to be out of place in an 'A list' autobiography, the real hook of this book is that the author isn't remotely famous. The endearing appeal is that it is the viewpoint of the everyman, but one who has had enough light brushes with celebrity that he has some great tales to tell. These stories, anecdotes and musings are seamlessly woven into what for many of us will be a memory jogging, laughter inducing remembrance of some of the major, as well as quainter, stranger and more trivial moments of pop culture over the last few decades. If you love pop music and pop culture, feared the Daleks, the Child Catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and mourn the demise of Pez, Cresta, conkers as a rite of passage, jokes on lolly sticks, Top of the Pops and pink vinyl limited edition LP's, then you will surely enjoy this. Please beware! This book may waste days (if not weeks) of your life as almost every paragraph will have you frantically typing into your search engine and getting lost, on what may turn out to be an endless Internet Safari. This book contains some adult humour. 'Best Wishes and Good Luck with your writing' Ben Elton

Book Description
By highlighting the reasons why well-established citizens in Latin America emigrate to the United States, Europe, and beyond, author Alex Alvarez (A. A. Alvarez) provides an insider’s perspective on how many of today’s young migrants overcome their limitations to shape their own destinies. Brace yourself for an introspective journey guided by the intrepid Carlos Rodriguez, as he bares his soul within the intimate confines of his memoirs. Despite his privileged upbringing, fate thrusts him into the heart of socioeconomic turmoil within his once opulent homeland, so that at the tender age of fifteen, seeking safety, he emigrates to the United States, where he defies the odds and surrenders to the clutches of an expired tourist visa for years on end. Then, just as his path appears steady, an unforeseen twist sends him on yet another expedition, this time to Greece, where he confronts the conundrum of seeking solace on foreign soil, even further removed from the land he once called "home." This cross-cultural adventure will lead you through three seemingly disparate countries, immersing you in a multitude of situations that balance humour and solemnity with a narration that brings together a wide range of topics, including family, education, culture, religion, economy, politics, love, marriage, and, of course, immigration. While this novel is a work of fiction, it is inspired by the author’s own journey and his encounters with fellow migrants along his path. Thus, it presents a captivating story defined by personal journeys, culture shock, and the quest for self-discovery in a narrative that is as entertaining as it is profound, making it an enjoyable read for readers of all backgrounds. The paperback version of Chronicles of a Nomad: Memoirs of an Immigrant (ISBN: 9789609309189), hit the stores in 2008, and was quickly followed by its sequel, “V2036: A Venezuelan Chronicle” (ISBN: 9789609278508).
