In the 1960's a 26-year-old schoolmaster at a Scottish reformatory (List D) School, under the alias of James Patrick, went undercover  with the help of one of his pupils to study the often violent behaviour of the teenagers in a gang in Glasgow. He managed to conceal his identity and motives and during the course of a four-month assignation in 1966 he observed closely the gang members and concluded that the boys were 'afraid of fighting other gangs but more afraid of not fighting them.' Ultimately it was 'the struggle between identification with the boys and abhorrence of their violence that forced me to quit.'  This book became one of the first published observations of a Glasgow gang and as such has stood the test of time as a number of factors that Patrick identified as contributing to the growth of gang culture still remain in existence today, most crucially poverty, grim housing conditions and unemployment. This is a portrait of gang culture before the drug barons moved in and created another level of violence and as such it deserves its cult status. The republication of the book follows closely behind Peter Mullan's highly rated film 'Neds' which portrays a Glasgow gang in the 1970s.

It's 1988. Daniel Bryant is twenty two years old and barely existing in the depressed economy of a tiny farming village in Northern England. Determined to start a new life for himself, the self-educated product of a strong willed and now deceased Irish mother, Daniel embarks on a one way trip over the Atlantic, and finds himself alone in New York with a student visa and less than $500 to his name. It is here in America he meets Bostonian Jim Brennan, a street smart salesman who introduces Daniel to the lucrative timeshare business, where he quickly becomes consumed by an industry that is plagued by greed, deception and double dealings. Sucked into a new world that takes him from Vail, Colorado to the beaches of the Caribbean, Daniel meets the free spirited Laura Harriman and is forced to make choices that will change his life forever. Liners depicts not only the dark side of an industry still in its unregulated infancy, but the constant struggle of a young man whose dream to find a home in America is constantly being threatened.
