Katharine Hepburn Once Said...: Great Lines to Live By
A career spanning more than sixty years. A life spanning almost a century Katharine Hepburn reached the height of success as an actress and also suffered through periods that would have ended other actresses' careers. But she persevered with a mix of humor and sarcasm, tenderness and brutal honesty. The world has not been the same since. Collected here are the words that made Katharine Hepburn "Kate" to millions of fans. It does not matter whether the words were originally hers or if they were written for her. Every word spoken in that all-too-familiar staunch New England accent instantly became Kate's. Her early years of ambition, her later years of reflection have all been captured in this collection. Her views on marriage, career, and life often came across as shocking. But the shock was not in the words she said, but when she said them. Decades ahead of her time, Kate paved the way for the independent woman free to live as she wishes. Above all else, Kate was and always will be the unwavering voice of reason. Katharine Hepburn once said that there is a difference between being an actor and being a star; she wanted to be a star. The words collected here, said both onstage and offstage, are proof that there is also a difference between being a star and being a legend. Katharine Hepburn is a legend. .

Once upon a Time in Glasgow: The City from the Earliest Times
A history of the city of Glasgow from its earliest beginnings, presented in episodic format based on a series of articles first published in the "Evening Times" in the 1970s. The contents cover personalities such as Hawkie, who was one of the city's most famous street hawkers and without whom no public hanging would have been complete; Jamie Blue, who took the law into his own hands to defend the rights of Glasgow's citizens, and Blind Alick, who saw everything! Riots and civil disobedience feature strongly as these were sometimes the only ways for the mob to vent their frustration and anger at the city fathers. As well as personalities, there are places and events, disasters and fairs, body snatchers and religion, trams and pubs, royalty and ships, and markets and murders to mention but a few. In short, this is a comprehensive and entertaining insight into Glasgow, its people and its history..

Henry The Fifth, Henry V
Young Prince Hal (from the two King Henry the IV plays) is now king of England and he's just been sent tennis-balls as a birthday present by his relatives in France. Now he's angry... man is he angry. Just remember how angry you got when your mother gave you underwear for Christmas! That's right! King Henry V is so angry that he has to invade France, and no Dolphin (or Dauphin) is getting in his way. This is the story of King Henry V's conquest of France. One of the most action packed Shakespeare plays of all times. Yes the motives of Henry V may be strange - but this play has some of the best motivational speeches of all times..
