Title: Portugal: A Traveller's Guide: Description:
When Aldous Huxley remarked that "For every traveller who has any taste of his own, the only useful guidebook will be the one he himself has written", he had presumably forgotten that the experience of a traveller and writer like Ian Robertson would take most people a lifetime to acquire. This is a detailed and entertaining companion to Portugal. Whether you are bound for the Algarve and want to explore beyond the beach or relive Wellington's masterly campaigns of the Peninsular War; whether you find yourself in Lisbon, one of Europe's most beautiful and underrated cities, or plan to discover the origins of port in the upper reaches of the Douro, this book aims to offer the facts you require, along with enlightening background information. Illustrated and equipped with maps, chronology and practical tips, "Portugal" should be helpful both to new visitors to Portugal and to those who would like to enhance their memories of the country.

Title: Oasis - What's The Story: Description:
Their songs have conquered radio, MTV, and the Billboard charts. Their faces have adorned the cover of every major music magazine. And their opinions and outrageous behavior have enraged just about every other musician in the business. They are Oasis, the leaders of the most recent British invasion and one of the most popular bands of the '90s. Here is a thorough, first-person chronicle of life with one of the wildest, most talented bands of our day. Read about sex, drugs, rock-and-roll, cocaine-driven nights, alcoholic afternoons, meeting Bono, getting stoned at Paul McCartney's house, taking over Europe, breaking up, getting back together, and fighting. An honest, jarring, and unforgettable account of rock-and-roll at its most extreme, "What's the Story?" is as irreverent and fascinating as the band itself.

Title: Oasis: Whats The Story: Description:
Brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher are the ambitious, outspoken duo who have taken their band Oasis from the streets of Manchester to rock stardom. This book, written by their former road-manager Ian Robertson, provides a look into what life is really like with the band.
