Paperback
Author: Ryan Nelsen with Tony Smith
Published by: Hodder Moa Beckett Publishers Ltd
In Stock: 4
The All Whites soccer team did what no other New Zealand sporting team managed in 2009: they stopped a nation dead and created one of the greatest moments of sporting theatre this country has ever witnessed. Never mind that they were playing tiny Bahrain; never mind that neither New Zealand nor Bahrain was ranked inside FIFA's top 60 footballing nations. This was the all-or-nothing, 'One Shot For Glory' game that would catapult the winner on to soccer's greatest stage - the World Cup. Rarely do games like this live up to their billing, but the All Whites' heroic 1-0 victory in Wellington to secure the home-and-away tie actually exceeded expectations. Now, the All Whites have South Africa 2010 to look forward to and their talented captain Ryan Nelsen (captain of the English team Blackburn Rovers) plots the path in this 'fanzine' publication. 'Nelly' will pen his own views on all the players, the opposition they will face, and talk of ... more

Morris Minor: The Biography - Sixty Years of Britain's Favourite Car order quantity

NZ$ 28.00 each
Paperback
Author: Martin Wainwright
Published by: Aurum Press Ltd
In Stock: 2
The split screen, the indicators poking up like perspex orange fingers, the notoriously rust-prone floors, the pootling exhaust note just some of the much-loved characteristics of the Morris Minor or Morris 1000. Designed by Sir Alec Issigonis back in 1948, this bulbous little creation was Britain's first mass-appeal car. By 1972 some 1.6 million were built. There were variants like the Morris Traveller (timber-framed estate) and the Morris Million (painted pink). For thousands of newly marrieds, or penurious students, it was their first car. It was also the kind of car in which the district nurse did her rounds. Martin Wainwright (who proposed to his wife over the gearstick of a Morris Minor) gives us a quirky and fascinating history of this quintessentially British car. You'll find everything from the post-70s vogue for restoring and rebuilding Morris Minors, to the alarming habit of their bonnets to open at speed and entirely ... more

Somebody Stole My Game order quantity

Paperback
Author: Chris Laidlaw
Published by: Hodder Moa Beckett Publishers Ltd
In Stock: 2
This book has a central proposition: that rugby is not sustainable if it continues down the commercial path it is currently following. Control of the game is being steadily transferred from those who thought they owned it to commercial and media interests who see it purely as a commodity. Of all the great team sports rugby has been the most dependent on tradition, inclusiveness and the notion of the game being more important than the individual. After a century and a half of comfortable conservatism rugby suddenly found itself confronted by a professional revolution not of its own making and it has struggled ever since to come to terms with it. This book is controversial, thought provoking and has wide appeal - it addresses a series of issues which threaten New Zealand rugby.

First published May 2010.

Author: Geoff Armstrong
Published by: New Holland Publishers Pty Ltd (AUS)

Almost 2500 men have appeared in Test cricket, from the inaugural Test played in March 1877 to today. To reduce this task to the best 100 is an imposing task, but it is also one that is guaranteed to provoke debate among those with an eye for the game's history and its greatest players. In "The 100 Greatest Cricketers", experienced sportswriter and publisher Geoff Armstrong has compared eras, analysed career records, sifted through fact and fiction - and enjoyed much discussion and debate with colleagues and friends - to come up with a list of the best players of all time, ranked from one to 100. He has done so by selecting nine teams, and then nominated his favourite all-time player as the '100th man'. Each team includes two openers, three middle-order batsmen, an all-rounder, a wicketkeeper and four bowlers, at least one of whom is a spinner. This new, updated edition re-evaluates the previous selection, with the removal and addition ... more

In the French open in 1989, a 17-year-old, Michael Chang, worked his way through the groups to the fourth round and to playing number one-seeded and three-times champion, Ivan Lendl. As the game progressed, the outlook was bleak for Chang, who lost the first two sets. However, he won back the second two to find himself serving at 4-3 in the fifth. Then he did the unthinkable. He served underhand. Lendl was flustered, lost concentration, the crowd roared, and Chang went on to win the game. This is just one of many amazing on-court stories of bravery, skill, luck and much much more that keeps us watching our tennis stars time and again. And here, for the first time, is a fascinating collection of true stories from courts across the world, from outrageous outbursts to extraordinary events such as an unexpected death, and involving a host of characters from Authur Ashe to Lindsay Davenport and everyone in between including Borg, Conners, ... more

Everyone knows that David Beckham crosses the ball better than anyone else and that Tiger Woods never "chokes".

Sources are eclectic, results mixed, but one thing is certain: car design is being forced up an ever tightening spiral of creativity. These machines are memorials of our tastes, yearnings and capabilities. They have layers of meaning and can, as Henry Ford knew, be read like a book...if only you know how. The story of the car is the story of how the objects of industry became a medium of artistic expression. This book tells that story in a series of case studies which reveal national characteristics: American flair, German technical suprematism, French vernacular chic, gorgeous Italian sculpture, English antiquarianism, Japanese ingenuity, Swedish responsibility. Cars featured appear in chronological date order from the 1908 Ford Model T to 2003 BMW 5 Series. The chosen cars will be specially photographed in a uniform style and reproduced in very textured, 4 colour b/w so as to distance this book from the clich??A?s and conventions of ... more

An Addict's Guide to the World's Most Exasperating Game

Cricket, Lovely Cricket is a sports book with a difference - an original and engaging journey around the perennially curious world of cricket, leaving no metaphorical leg-break unturned and peering at the game from every conceivable angle.
Here, Lawrence Booth, who had little option but to turn a youthful obsession with the game into a means of paying the mortgage, seeks to consider the questions that crop up on a daily basis but rarely receive a satisfactory answer.
What are the players really like? What is the secret of sledging? Why get so worked up about the Ashes? Why all the cliches? And how did India take over the world?
Fittingly, for a sport that can last up to five days without a result, Cricket, Lovely Cricket is all-embracing but probing, humorous but insightful, sweeping but reflective. It is underpinned by the essential - and slightly ... more

Dan Carter : A Tribute to the All Blacks Perfect 10 order quantity

Hardback
Author: John Matheson
Published by: HarperCollins Publishers (New Zealand)
In Stock: 1
Ever since he burst onto the test rugby scene in New Zealand in 2003, Dan Carter has been earmarked for greatness. His exploits for Canterbury, the Crusaders and the All Blacks are the stuff of legends. He did the 'impossible' early on in his international career when he made the rugby nation forget about Andrew Mehrtens - a first-five whom many thought couldn't be replaced for at least a generation.
But Carter not only replaced Mehrtens but he took the art of first-five-eighth play to a new level, as shown by his performance against the Lions in 2005 when he came head to head with England's 'best ever', Jonny Wilkinson.
This book, the eighth in HarperCollins' Tribute series, celebrates Dan Carter's life - from the backblocks of Canterbury to the biggest rugby stages in the world.

OK girls – are you ready to get your hands dirty and take back control of your own cars?! Think Sex and the City meets Barbie on wheels – this book will finally dispel the myth that women should leave the cars to the men…

Designed to teach a woman everything she needs to know about her car and nothing she doesn't, including how your car works, the car and the environment, car maintenance and what to do in the event of an accident. Basics that are apparently coded into Y chromosomes are handily explained – how to add screen washer, oil and anti-freeze, check the tyre pressure, change the wipers and so on. Girls, it's time to strut into your local mechanics workshop without fear.

Already a huge bestseller in Ireland, and strongly tipped to be one of the top ten titles in the UK this Christmas, Essential Car Care for Girls is set to become the ultimate accessory to every Australian woman's set of wheels.
