All-a-twitter

Hello Bloggers!
It seems that JMP has been neglecting this poor blog in favour of its shiny new sister, Twitter. We have been twittering away (http://twitter.com/jeremymillspub) about our new books and meeting lots of new publishers, booksellers and book fans in the process. If, like us, you have been spending time with new technology, visit our Twitter page and follow our tweets. If you are staying loyal to blogs, don't worry - we will continue to post our musings here!

Molten Memories*

Neil Wallington is a prolific firefighting author and, as an ex-firefighter himself, knows just what fire enthusiasts like to read about. His latest offering is a large, colourful book detailing the history of something that does not exist today - the British fire engine. One Hundred Years of the British Fire Engine follows the history of these engines and the men who rode them. With sections on Dennis, Leyland and the Green Goddess, this book is a fascinating trip down memory lane for anyone who has ever ridden or seen one of these vehicles. The book traces the decline of the British Fire Engine, as foreign engines become a more familiar sight in fire stations. Click here to find out more about the book.

*Oh, and I am afraid I must admit that this blog entry is not all my own work ... I 'borrowed' the title from my colleague Paul (Porl on this blog!) who used it on a banner for our online bookshop. Sorry Porl, but they do say imitation is the best form of flattery!

Divide and Prosper: Back in Print

This month we have been busy bringing a book back into print! Divide and Prosper: The Heirs of I.G. Farben under Allied Authority was the first book written by Professor Raymond G. Stokes.
Jeremy Mills Publishing thought it rather a shame that the book was no longer in print, and asked Professor Stokes to write a foreword to the new edition. If this is a book you've been looking for without success, you may be interested to know that it can now be purchased by visiting our online bookshop. Click here for more details on the book.

Our New Title is Magic!

Everyone at Jeremy Mills Publishing is excited about our latest book, David Nixon: Entertainer With the Magic Touch! A biography of one of Britain's best-loved entertainers, the book is due for publication this September. If you can't wait until then, here is a little taster of what the book is about:

For more than twenty years, millions of British television viewers tuned in to watch a true wizard at work. As a panellist on What's My Line? or as the host of It's Magic and many other shows, David Nixon was not just a magician, but a peerless performer whose warmth and wit made him a natural star. David Nixon: Entertainer with the Magic Touch tells the story of a remarkable life: how David's childhood fascination with conjuring tricks led to wartime adventures with ENSA, and how he rose from running concert parties to being the nation's best-loved star.

David's personal life was one touched by tragedy. Yet for all his mastery of illusion – the mind-reading Nap Hand card trick or the mysterious mid-air disappearance of a lady in the Dizzy Limit – the easygoing on-screen image that made him a friend to every viewer was no deception, but a true reflection of a hardworking optimist who lived to entertain.

For the first time, Edwin A. Dawes and Steven Short have interviewed David's many friends and loved ones to present a full portrait of his life. Lavishly illustrated using family photographs, publicity posters and television stills, David Nixon: Entertainer with the Magic Touch is a truly enchanting book.
