Julian Cope’s highly acclaimed autobiography and its long-awaited sequel in one extraordinary volume. Julian Cope shot to fame with eighties band ‘Teardrop Explodes’ during the Punk era. Hailed as a visionary by those people who recognise his genius and a madman by those who find him perplexing, he has become a cult figure in the music world. Head-On/Repossessed is written in Cope’s own inimitable style and follows his journey through a time of incredible change within the music industry. Head-on is the highly acclaimed autobiography that The Observer viewed as “book of the year” when it was first released. Repossesed picks up in 1983 where Head On ends and continues up until 1989.
Price : £ 7.19

Patrick Bateman is twenty-six and works on Wall Street; he is handsome sophisticated charming and intelligent. He is also a psychopath. Taking us to a head-on collision with America’s greatest dream – and its worst nightmare – “American Psycho” is a bleak bitter black comedy about a world we all recognize but do not wish to confront. “Serious clever and shatteringly effective.” – “Sunday Times.” “”American Psycho” is a beautifully controlled careful important novel…The novelist’s function is to keep a running tag on the progress of the culture; and he’s done it brilliantly…A seminal book.” – Fay Weldon “Washington Post.” “For its savagely coherent picture of a society lethally addicted to blandness it should be judged by the highest standards.” – John Walsh “Sunday Times.” “That the book’s contents are shocking is downright undeniable but just as Bonfire of the Vanities exposed the corruption and greed engendered in eighties politics and high living “American Psycho” examines the mindless preoccupations of the nineties preppy generation.” – “Time Out.”
Price : £ 6.31
