"Charles 'Bud' Tingwell's War Stories"
The Heroes, the Battles, the Tragedies and the Triumphs of World War II
70th Anniversary Special
The late
Charles “Bud” Tingwell was one of Australia’s favourite actors, having appeared
in more than 100 films and TV series, including The Desert Rats, The
Shiralee, Breaker Morant, The Castle, The Dish and Changi.
What many
fans don’t know is that Bud was a RAAF pilot in World War II, flying 75 sorties
in Spitfires and Mosquitoes in the Middle East and eastern Mediterranean. He
came close to death more than once. In War
Stories Bud recalls his war – the early training, the long sea hauls across
the Pacific and round Cape Horn to get to the Middle East, life in camp and the
dangers of flying through German flak on his photo reconnaissance missions.
War
Stories also pays
tribute to Australia’s World War II heroes. All 20 Victoria Cross winners are
here, their extraordinary stories told in detail. So are 50 other brave men and
women, always remembered for their courage both at home and overseas.
War was
declared on 3 September 1939. This book, published on the 70th
anniversary of that declaration, celebrates one man’s war and lauds the bravery
of 70 other magnificent Australians.
Author Kim Lockwood spent
countless hours with Bud and six months researching the deeds of the other heroes.
Kim has written, contributed to or edited 14 books, many dealing with
Australian history. Author: Lockwood, Kim

"101 Ways to Get Free $$$ From The Government"
The idea of getting free money from the Government isn't a dream... Just a matter of doing it right!
There’s no doubt many Australians are doing it tough.
Whether you’re young or old, a tradie, labourer,
professional, a mum just looking to get back into a part-time job or a retiree
needing to get back into the workforce, the economic downturn has left few of
us untouched. And if you’re one of the lucky ones whose job is secure, then no
doubt you know someone who is struggling to pay the mortgage and put food on
the table.
Australia may not feel like ‘the lucky country’ at the
moment; but we’re certainly lucky to live where we have a real Government
safety net if, and when, the hard times come – and they come to most of us at
some time or another.
Both author Grace Johnston and researcher Danny Murray
know what it’s like when those times come. They both know how hard it is to
swallow their pride and put out their hands for help – and at the same time how
hard it is to find out what’s available and what they’re entitled to.
That’s why they’ve worked together to uncover some of
the more hidden, unusual or difficult-to-access pockets of $$$ that can help
when you really need it, and have
brought them together in this great little guide - 101
Ways to get free $$$ from the Government.
So, count your blessings – and make sure you find out
and ask for what you’re entitled to. There’s no shame in it; we all need a hand
at some stage.

"Outlaw Bikers"
Born to Ride the Ones Inside
The image of the outlaw bikie started with The Wild One and Rebel without a Cause. Then and now, the outlaw suspects straight
society is full of crap, but he doesn’t care and he doesn’t want to change it;
he wants to be left alone to do whatever he damn well likes. A rebel yell moves
his spirit, and his wildness needs expression within a brotherhood. That has
not changed in the half century since those films. But crime has. Criminals who
ride bikes have made and sold drugs over most of that time, and been part of
that violent trade. Brotherhoods clash,
and when they do, people can wind up maimed, dead or doing time. From
Hells Angel Chris Hudson on his rampage in the Melbourne CBD, to the
1984 Father's Day Massacre, the Blackmarket Cafe, Gypsy Jokers and
Greenslopes Angels, Outlaw Bikers is
a ripper read for anyone intrigued by the world of motorcycle clubs,
the criminal acts some members of these clubs have committed, for those
who have enjoyed the recent television hit Underbelly or those who enjoy reading about True Crime. Author: Kerr, John

"Get A Grip"
Build A Better Body For Golf
Get A Grip is the perfect book
for anyone playing golf, at any level. It is designed to help you
create an individual training program that will fix the parts of your
body that are affecting your swing.
A
lot happens from the moment you visualise the perfect swing in your
mind. Your brain sends the appropriate messages to your body, but your
weak and tight muscles form a barrier between your imagined swing, and
reality. This occurs because the body is highly adept at compensating
for any weaknesses it has, which in turn has an adverse effect on your
swing.
The answer is simple, your body needs to be physically
ready to put the brain's messages into action. Included in this book is
a screening test which will help you do that. Completing the test helps
identify your individual and tight weak spots. Depending on your
results you begin the 12 week program at week one, four or eight. By
the time you finish you will be hitting the ball further, straighter
and as an added bonus you may even drop a few kilograms.
Your body is ruining your score. Get A Grip will fix that; your body will be tuned for golf.

"Halve Your Debt and Double your freedom - without the mumbo jumbo"
Credit Crunch Edition
It is impossible to automatically double your money, right? Wrong. Better still, you can do it without taking any risk and without paying any tax.
If
you are able to find an extra $100 a month to pay towards a $250,000,
25-year mortgage, for every $1 you outlay you will save $2. It will
cost you $26,000 over the life of the loan but, amazingly, save you
more than $53,000 in interest. That’s an unbeatable 104 per cent,
tax-free return on your money. Guaranteed.
Halve your debt and double your freedom – without the mumbo jumbo
reveals how you can get a piece of phenomenal returns by paying down
debt. And record low interest rates thanks to the global financial
crisis mean you have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to do so fast
– and safeguard your family’s future forever.
Discover: • where absolutely anyone can find the money • how to use the system to help you • strategies to make the process as painless as possible and • what to do if plans change or you get into trouble.
Also learn: • how you could give yourself two immediate interest rate cuts • the debt-busting secret weapon getting Australians out of debt faster • the easy-to-avoid mistake that could cost you thousands of dollars a year • the trick to escaping lender’s mortgage insurance.
But
why would you only seek to halve your debt when you could wipe it out
altogether? Because, used smartly, debt can actually build –
rather than erode – your wealth. Managed the right way, it is a
tool that can see you attain financial freedom.

"Bruce The Bookie"
A Real Life Story Of Gambling, Sport And The Underworld
It takes a certain individual to live the sort of life Bruce the Bookie has. This is the story of that life.
In
an era before legalised gambling, Bruce Johnstone became Bruce the
Bookie. For anyone in the know, including some of Melbourne's
notoriously hardened underworld, Bruce was the man to see to lay some
money on a good prospect.
He was a man about the town. By day
he would stand next to his car, blackboard in hand, chalking down bets,
and quick to wipe the board clean is a policeman got too close. At
nights he would surround himself with convicted criminals and regular
punters alike, inside a secret room the police were desperate to gain
access to. Again he would take his bets, and along with every pair of
eyes, await the outcome of a toss of two separate coins.
There's
more to Bruce than just gambling. He served in the navy in time of war,
he was the official organiser of fun and shenanigans for Australia's
national basketball team whenever they travelled overseas. He even did
a stretch inside Pentridge Prison for good measure.
Lindsay
Gaze and Grantley Bernard. Lindsay Gaze, a legend of Australian
basketball, co-authors this book alongside respected sports writer
Grantley Bernard. Just how a character like Bruce wound up becoming
great mates with Lindsay only adds to the wide web of intrigue that is
the life of Bruce Johnstone.
