Tails from the Bushveld
Africa is a vast, exciting, varied - and at times, dangerous continent. It remains untamed in large parts and one of the few places left on Earth for those with an adventurous spirit. Richard Phillips, together with his wife Ann, has spent a lifetime in search of adventure across the continent. From the desert of the Namib to the delta of the Okavango, from seeking out the mystery of the giant kingfish that swim up the Mtentu River each year to perform their strange ritual, to becoming a millionaire and hitting the jackpot in Zimbabwe, Tails from the Bushveld is a book full of adventure. It is a story of charging elephants, being surrounded by monkeys, and seeing a 'UFO' - usually accompanied by a good glass of wine, and always with lots of friendship and humour. Tails of the Bushveld will excite, fascinate, and inspire the travel spirit inside you. But remember - there's always a twist in these tales.

Lost in Tokyo
Tokyo. The world's largest metropolis is startlingly creative and rigorously traditional, spotlessly organized and crazily confusing, soaked in ancient history and perpetually on the cusp. Everything imaginable is collected in one vertiginous metropolis: from a galaxy of Michelin stars to stellar street food, cosplay wackiness to catwalk winners, and pleasure services so left field they've even left the field. But the dense metropolis has a quieter side in its alleyways and hidden corners. Its interiors hold a million surprises: a classy piano bar can be on the 8th floor above a fetish club, and heavenly yakiniku three floors below ground. In a city with more than 80,000 restaurants a complete guide is impossible. But an insider's introduction will begin to unlock the wild mysteries of the Japanese capital. This second edition of the Tokyo city guide maintains all of our best interviews and stories from our first edition, while adding updated recommendations, additional interview content, and a new, original short story from celebrated British author and Tokyo resident Pip Murphy.

A feature exploring the vanished world of the yakuza is accompanied by an original short story exploring the juxtaposition of old and new. Get lost in the sights, sounds and flavours of the city. Get lost in Tokyo. WHAT'S INSIDE Blowtorched mackerel, upscale downtown baths, shopping malls for supergeeks, gourmet chicken skewers, raw beef sushi, art in a shipping container and a story of anime sento...
