Three marriages and a heart attack would seem a high price to pay for the rigours of public service but such is the policeman's lot. Hames' long career culminated in a five-year term as Head of Scotland Yard's Obscene Publications Bran... less info

In Blackbird Singing, his first poetry collection, early and later poems are brought together with some of his finest lyrics, including pop classics such as "Yesterday", "Lady Madonna... less info

I like Todd Stauffer's writing, and boy this book has a lot of it: 1,000-plus pages. Egads! Right away, the personality in the book jumped off the page at me. I was expecting this, being familiar with Todd's work, primarily his writing with David Pogue on MacWorld Mac Secrets and other books.Unbeknown to most PC users, there are many makes and models of the Macintosh, some of which were specifically designed never to be upgraded. Yet this book covers them all. Like other good books in this ca... less info
