    The Road Cyclist’s Companion

    £9.99

    All sports have their quirks and rituals, but cycling has more than most. As the inexorable rise of the bicycle continues, many casual cyclists are moving into a more serious brand of cycling – riding in road races, groups or cycle clubs. And stumbling straight into a minefield of form and etiquette that those who have grown up in the clubs are well acquainted with. From how to choose the right bike frame to the rules of cycling in a paceline, there are things that any serious cyclist should know. Covering kit, bike, group riding, technique and training, this title is a beautifully presented book that is an essential for anyone looking to step up their cycling ambitions.

  • Vajournal: Feminist Interactions and Interventions

    £9.95

    Vajournal is a canvas on which to explore feminist rage. Thought provoking activities ask readers to list all the people they have ever slept with, describe their worst and best sexual experiences, and to relay their hopes and dreams, feelings about their bodies and experiences of every – day sexism. Plenty of blank space is left for thoughts and observations of female experience. Isabella Bunnell’s beautiful illustrations bring the pages to life and invite further doodling and visual engagement.

  • Women Who Kill

    £7.95

    There is nothing more shocking or fascinating than the story of a homicidal woman. We are told that violence is a man’s domain – that a woman is pre-programmed to nurture and protect. Women who break this taboo are hated and reviled; their stories scorched into our collective psyches. This book profiles 21 female murderers throughout history – from powerful female warriors such as Boudicca and Agrippina to the revenge killings of Ruth Ellis and Phoolan Devi to the outright psychotic butcherings of Mona Fandey and Juana Barraza.
