DW is not price clipped and has a cover image by the artist Damien Hirst who was a friend of the late author. No inscriptions or annotations. "Grotesque but brilliant study of Fred West and his even more repulsive wife. Between them they raped, tortured and murdered a still unknown number of people. It cannot avoid being a dreadful tale because of its subject, but it is also this very fine writer's best book." Interest in the book has been newly awakened by the powerful dramatisation on television, 'Appropriate Adult', with Dominic West and Emily Watson both of whom received BAFTA awards for their performances. "Burn gained unprecedented access to case files and West family histories to weave the back stories of the murderers, the murdered and the survivors into a flawlessly crafted and non-judgmental book that once read is never forgotten." .

Memoirs of a famous climber who led the resurgence of British rock-climbing in the 1950s, often in partnership with Don Whillans, pioneering many new climbs of exceptional severity. He also made some notable ascents in the Alps and the Himalayas. This is, however, a book which should be of interest to more than just the mountaineering community. As a fellow working-class resident of Greater Manchester, I found his account of the city and its Pennine backcloth in the years of WWII and its aftermath to be authentic enough to stir many memories. .
