Bruce Springsteen - Glory Days, 50 Years of Dreaming

His albums have reflected deeply-felt passions and concerns, from the position of the American working man in The River and Nebraska, to deep personal relationships in Tunnel of Love; from the bleak vistas in Darkness on the Edge of Town to the anger of Born in the U.S.A.
Bowie - Starchild
Here is the story of the boy from Brixton who became one of the most famous artists of the 20th century, returned to prominence in the 21st with music and visions informed by a sense of his own mortality and who through hard work changed lives and those of generations to come. Through the hits and personas, the work in art, drama, film and fashion, his voice rang clearly across the decades summoning everyone to a party where strangeness would be celebrated and the ‘now’ would always be new. Yet David Bowie remained forever the outsider, observing, creating, collaborating, inspiring and moving forward. This book follows a life that as much as any other was a personal journey but one in which so many joined and made part of their own.
Elvis Presley - All Shook Up
This book charts the career of the man they call the ‘‘King of Rock and Roll’’. Follow Presley from his carefree beginnings at Sun records to global superstardom. The book features rare interviews with the legendary Elvis guitarist Scotty Moore, drummer DJ Fontana and the Elvis loyal backing singers the Jordanaires.
