It's a roller-coaster ride of unbelievable highs and unimaginable lows, from a small boy growing up on a working class council estate not far from Heathrow Airport who wanted to play music and paint - the first generation of his 'water gypsy' family to be born on dry land - to becoming one of the most famous musicians in the world, Ronnie Wood toured the world with his Rolling Stone bandmates - Mick, Keith, Charlie and, for a while, Bill. And the five of them have, arguably, been seen in person by more people on this planet than anyone else in the history of mankind. But as mayhem and hysteria invariably followed on Ronnie's adventure through the excesses of rock 'n roll, the drugs got harder and his relationships - especially with Mick, Keith, various women and his family - became increasingly more complex. This is Ronnie the husband, father, grandfather and rock star the way you have never seen any rock star before. "Ronnie" is an up-front and personal look at life as a Rolling Stone, from the inside, and at the Stones as the rest of the world has never seen them. After "Ronnie", drugs, sex and rock 'n' roll will never be the same again. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting.

The production fails, and he returns, chastened and humiliated, to his writing desk. The result is a string of masterpieces, but they are produced at a high personal cost. In The Master Colm Toibin captures the exquisite anguish of a man who circulated in the grand parlours and palazzos of Europe, who was astonishingly vibrant and alive in his art, and yet whose attempts at intimacy inevitably failed him and those he tried to love.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. 'Which whip today?' she rasped, tightly clad in black leather. 'I don't know,' I replied. 'I can never decide between banana and butterscotch.' In Three in a Shed, the pulsating climax to the bestselling trowel-egy Fifty Sheds of Grey, multi-millionaire Colin Grey finds himself with the ultimate dilemma. Having accidentally mixed his Viagra with his hearing aid, and ending up with a hard of hearing on, he must finally man up and choose between the great loves of his life. Should he go with Lady Christina Mellors -- the sophisticated cougar (or whatever the British equivalent is -- a badger?) -- who first deflowered him, all those years ago? Or his long-suffering wife, Brenda? Or can Colin finally break free and return to his one true love -- his shed? The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. The phenomenal number one bestseller and a major BBC TV series. A Richard and Judy Book Club Pick. Winner of the Specsavers National Book Award and Waterstones Book of the Year. Beautiful, intoxicating and filled with heart-pounding suspense, Jessie Burton's historical novel set in Amsterdam, The Miniaturist, is a story of love and obsession, betrayal and retribution. On an autumn day in 1686, eighteen-year-old Nella Oortman knocks at the door of a grand house in the wealthiest quarter of Amsterdam. She has come from the country to begin a new life as the wife of illustrious merchant trader Johannes Brandt, but instead she is met by his sharp-tongued sister, Marin. Only later does Johannes appear and present her with an extraordinary wedding gift: a cabinet-sized replica of their home. It is to be furnished by an elusive miniaturist, whose tiny creations mirror their real-life counterparts in unexpected ways . . . Nella is at first mystified by the closed world of the Brandt household, but as she uncovers its secrets she realizes the escalating dangers that await them all. Does the miniaturist hold their fate in her hands? And will she be the key to their salvation or the architect of their downfall?
