|title=Who Invented The Stepover? (And Other Crucial Football Conundrums)

|author=Paul Simpson and Uli Hesse

|rating=4

|genre=Sport

|summary=In 1982, second division Charlton Athletic staged an unlikely transfer coup by signing former European Footballer of the Year Allan Simonsen. If the thought of the Danish superstar forsaking the glamour of Barcelona for south east London seemed unlikely then consider that Simonsen had previously faked his own death during a World Cup qualifier.

|title=Outraged of Tunbridge Wells: Original Complaints from Middle England

|summary=There's nought so queer as folk. From the idiot who broke into a car without realising his name and date of birth were clearly seen on his tattoo on CCTV, to the people who ordered someone to paint clothes on all the people in the Sistine Chapel - before others came along who decided the original had been better, and the people who dismissed The Beatles as never likely to make a name for themselves. We have long been a race of idiots.

~~|title=Once Again to Zelda: Fifty Great Dedications and Their Stories~~

~~|rating=4~~

~~|genre=Trivia~~

|summary=Once you've done all the hard work (written a book, found a publisher, decided on a design for the cover and all those things), one of the remaining difficulties must be deciding who you should dedicate the tome to. Assuming it's no Oscar speech, and you can't thank the world and his dog, you have to narrow it down somewhat and select that special person whose name wins pride of place on the first page. Do you then go with something cryptic and intriguing, or apparently banal and blatantly obvious? I'm sure most readers don't even look at the dedications in most books, but if you did, would you understand the significance of them? Would something saying ''To my wife'' make you look twice, or would that seem like a reasonably common way to dedicate a book? In ''Once Again, To Zelda'' you can discover the stories you don't know behind the stories you may well, as the author delves into the detail behind ''Fifty Great Dedications''.
