Story1
Sonny Rollins has long been considered an enigma. Known as the "Saxophone Colossus," he is widely acknowledged as one of the greatest jazz improvisers of all time. His seven-decade career has been well documented, but the backstage life of the man once called "the only jazz recluse" has gone largely untold—until now. Based on more than 200 interviews with Rollins himself, family members, friends, and collaborators, as well as Rollins' personal archive, Saxophone Colossus is the comprehensive portrait of this legendary saxophonist and composer, civil rights activist and environmentalist.

Story108
In a 1970s commuter town, Tracey Thorn's teenage life was forged from what failed to happen. Her diaries were packed with entries about not buying things, not going to the disco, the school coach not arriving. Before she was a best-selling musician and writer, Tracey Thorn was a typical teenager: bored and cynical, despairing of her aspirational parents. Her only comfort came from house parties, Meaningful Conversations and the female pop icons who hinted at a new kind of living.

From the 1920s to 1950, Georgia Tann ran a corrupt baby business at the Tennessee Children's Home Society in Memphis. She offered up more than 5,000 orphans tailored to the wish lists of eager parents - hiding the fact that many weren't orphans at all but stolen sons and daughters of poor families, desperate single mothers and women told in maternity wards that their babies had died. The publication of Lisa Wingate's novel Before We Were Yours brought new awareness of Tann's child trafficking.

We Only Came to Dream is a memoir, not a novel, of the Counterculture Era (“hippie”). It is often one of high humor, silent introspection, and even danger. It was a time of social upheaval, a redefinition of the role of sex and race, and what it meant to be part of the mainstream…or not. Rediscovery was in the air, a marijuana-filled air, and often included quite a bit of travel.

In the fall of 2025, Clay-Chalkville High School in Alabama chased a championship in the space between memory and change. Friday nights arrived with familiar rituals and quiet pressure. Helmets were buckled. Lights came on. A stadium that held decades of voices stood on borrowed time, even as a new season demanded full attention. Wins accumulated, but so did moments that never appeared on a scoreboard – conversations in parking lots, superstitions repeated without explanation, lessons passed down rather than announced.

Mark Hodkinson grew up among the terrace houses of Rochdale in a house with just one book. His dad kept it on top of a wardrobe with other items of great worth - wedding photographs and Mark's National Cycling Proficiency certificate. If Mark wanted to read it, he was warned not to crease the pages or slam shut the covers. Today, Mark is an author, journalist and publisher. He still lives in Rochdale but is now snugly ensconced (or is that buried?) in a 'book cave' surrounded by 3,500 titles - at the last count.
