The latest addition to our successful 'Glory Days' series covers the history of North Western, for which, more than three decades after it disappeared as a major operator, there is still considerable nostalgia amongst both enthusiasts and those who used its services. Many remember the familiar sight of red and cream, North Western buses on both the urban routes in the Greater Manchester area as well as its more rural services in the Peak District and elsewhere. Incorporated in April 1923, the North Western Road Car Company was ultimately to become one of the most important bus operators in Manchester, Cheshire and the Peak District. Initially, part owned by both BET and the Tilling Group, it became a wholly-owned subsidiary of BET during World War II when the jointly owned bus assets of Tilling and BET were divided between the two companies. With the formation of the National Bus Company in 1969, unlike other NBC subsidiaries, North Western's existence was relatively short. With the creation of the SELNEC (later Greater Manchester) PTE, the decision was taken to transfer to the PTE, North Western's stage carriage services within their area. Remaining North Western services were transferred to other NBC subsidiaries. As a result, North Western effectively ceased to exist in 1972 although the name lingered on until 1974 when its coaching interests were transferred to National Travel. In his first book for Ian Allan Publishing for some two decades, transport historian and photographer Ted Jones narrates the history of North Western from its inception through to its ultimate demise in the early 1970s, creating a fascinating portrait of the operator and its fleet over almost half a century.

The sunlight and calm of the French Riviera have been a magnet for writers since the fourteenth century. The Cote d'Azur has provided the inspiration and setting for some of the greatest literature of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. "The French Riviera: A Literary Guide for Travellers" is a reader's journey along this fabled coast, from Hyeres and St. Tropez in the west to the Italian border in the east, introducing the lives and work of writers who passed this way, from distinguished Nobel laureates to new authors who found their voices there. Ted Jones's encyclopaedic work covers them all: writers such as Graham Greene and W. Somerset Maugham, who spent much of their lives there; F. Scott Fitzgerald and Guy de Maupassant, whose work it dominates; and the countless writers who simply lingered there, including Louisa M. Alcott, Hans Christian Anderson, J. G. Ballard, Samuel Beckett, Arnold Bennett, William Boyd, Bertholt Brecht, Anthony Burgess, Albert Camus, Bruce Chatwin, Joseph Conrad, Charles Dickens, T. S. Eliot, Ian Fleming, Ernest Hemingway, Aldous Huxley, James Joyce, Rudyard Kipling, D. H. Lawrence, A. A.Milne, Vladimir Nabokov, Dorothy Parker, Sylvia Plath, Jean-Paul Sartre, George Bernard Shaw, Robert Louis Stevenson, Anton Tchekhov, Leo Tolstoy, Evelyn Waugh, H. 
G. Wells, Oscar Wilde, P. G. Wodehouse, Virginia Woolf and W. B. Yeats - and many others.

Karl Wolfe is new to his assignment as a military attache posted to the U.S. Embassy in Berlin in 1938. Wolfe's superiors in Washington have another, more sinister purpose in mind for the young soldier: determine the intent of Hitler's military leadership and to set up an espionage operation inside the Third Reich. Wolfe inadvertently obtains a mind-boggling package containing film of top-secret Nazi documents confirming a conspiracy to trade a portion of Europe - and its Jews - for "peace in our time." Intended for the Jewish resistance, the documents originated in the heart of the Reich, in the Abwehr, the German intelligence operation. Appalled by the plans for mass murder, a young Abwehr officer, Maj. August Niedenz, contacts Wolfe, and although the two have vastly different objectives, they form a strange alliance to further each other's very different goals. Wolfe befriends beautiful Maria Hylga O'Brien, one of the world's most sought-after atomic scientists, and becomes mired in a swamp of deadly intrigue and obstructionism within the Allied camp that threatens to undermine Overlord, the cross-channel invasion of Europe, as well as the race to build the atomic bomb. It is already May, only three weeks before D-Day, and secrets of all kinds are unravelling. From Berlin to Washington to London, Wolfe races to cut through the web of duplicity that stretches from Hitler and his generals to the British high command, all the way to the inner sanctums of the Vatican, ending on the sands of Utah Beach, June 6, 1944, and the shattering climax of While God Slept.
