PHAIDON
NICHOLAS HC by René Goscinny & Jean-Jacques Sempé Originally launched in 1956 as Le Petit Nicolas, Nicholas was the creation of Asterix writer René Goscinny and New Yorker cartoonist Jean-Jacques Sempé. Now available in English for the first time, translated by Asterix stalwart Anthea Bell. Nicholas is the first of five books that bring to life the day to day adventures of a young school boy — amusing, endearing, and always in trouble. An only child, Nicholas, appears older at school than he does at home, and his touchingly naïve reaction to situations cut through the preconceptions of adults and result in a formidable sequence of escapades. This first book in the series contains a collection of nineteen individual stories where, in spite of trying to be good, Nicholas and his friends always seem to end up in some kind of mischief. Whether in the classroom, at home, or in the playground, their exuberance often takes over and the results are calamitous — at least for their teachers and parents, and Nicholas always manages to make matters worse.

Every taste is catered to in the world of Doctor Who. As well as an introductory essay, each Doctor’s era is put under the microscope with facts and informed opinion on all their stories. There’s an in-depth reference section detailing further reading, fascinating bizarre Doctor Who websites, and a short history of spin-off stories and merchandising.

FILM & TV
AMERICAN INDEPENDENT CINEMA TP From sex, lies, and videotape in the 1980s to The Blair Witch Project in the 1990s and the ultra low budget digital video features of the 2000s, indie films have thrived and stood out from the dominant Hollywood mainstream. But what exactly is “independent” cinema? This, the ideal textbook and general read on indie cinema, shows that independence can be defined partly in industry terms, but also according to formal and aesthetic strategies and by distinctive attitudes towards social and political issues, suggesting that independence is a dynamic rather than a fixed quality. Chapters focus on distribution and relationships with Hollywood studios: narrative (Clerks and Slacker to Pulp Fiction and Memento) and other formal dimensions (from Blair Witch’s “authenticity” to expressive and stylized camerawork).

CALCIUM MADE INTERESTING HC by Graham Chapman The definitive collection of writings by Python Graham Chapman. Like those other outstanding comics, Spike Milligan and Peter Cook, Chapman had an innate belief in absurdity as a way of life — his humour and sheer joy in madness for its own sake was as likely to find its outlet on the street as on the stage. The other Pythons often said that just listening to Graham tell them about one of his wild evenings out was fodder for a dozen sketches. He was inventive, fearless, willing to take chances and make stands. With an introduction by Jim Yoakum, archivist of the Chapman estate, Calcium Made Interesting is a celebration of the best of Chapman’s work, and is as funny, innovative, and surreal as any Python sketch.
