.Popbitch: Celebrity Excess And Other Monkey Business
City Travel Guides > Books > Almanacs and Yearbooks
by: Camilla Wright

October 16, 2008
I've been an avid reader of the Popbitch newsletter for a long time and this is basically the newsletter but in a book form. With more pages. And pictures. And it comes in a 10'' format which will please 10" maxi single nostalgists like me.
Very, very funny, silly, original (chin faces, disturbing yet hilarious reenactment of famous events using knitted or articulated dolls) and sometimes bizarre but in a good way.
Perfectly suitable for Popbitch virgins too.
If you like laughing about gossip and fame-obsessed celebs, this is a no-brainer.

.The Penguin Guide to Recorded Classical Music 2009 (Penguin Guide to Recorded Classical Music)
City Travel Guides > Books > Almanacs and Yearbooks
from: Penguin

September 25, 2008
I have to agree with the previous two reviewers. I have been buying the Penguin Guide since the early 1980s and have become increasingly disappointed. I also bought the 2008 edition and hoped that important recordings that had been omitted would be included. Abbados Mahler 6 and 7 recordings with the Berlin PO- surely among the primary recommendations and cornerstones of my collection- are omitted! And what about Simon Rattles recording of Szymanowskis Harnasie? And Chailly's wonderful Leipzig recordings of the Mahler editions of Schumann's symphonies- not everyone's taste I know- but perhaps the most frequently played of all my new CDs in the past year. I also wonder whether the reviewers hearing is quite what it used to be. I invested ... Read More:

.Torchwood: The Official Magazine Yearbook
City Travel Guides > Books > Almanacs and Yearbooks
from: Titan Books Ltd

August 22, 2008
The Torchwood Official Magazine Yearbook is the ultimate guide to the second season of the BBC's hit series, Torchwood. One of two immensely successful Doctor Who spin-offs, Torchwood really came into its own during its second season.

Included in the book are brief character biographies of each team member, a Season 2 episode guide, interviews with John Barrowman (Captain Jack Harkness) and James Marsters (Captain John Hart), a set report from the filming of the episode "Something Borrowed", a tour of the Hub set, and five original short stories by Steven Savile, David Llewellyn, Andy Lane, Trevor Baxendale and Joseph Lidster. The short stories alone are worth the price of the book, but there are many other great features.
