Book Description
"'Paris in my Springtime' tells the story of what happened to a naive, inexperienced young man forced through illness at the start of medical school in 1963 to take an unplanned gap year. The colourful characters he meets and the unusual situations he finds himself in form the framework of this story, laced with amusing anecdotes that will keep you laughing. Highly entertaining." - Living France magazineIs this a novel? Or is it autobiography? The reader must decide. (Not easy...even the author's father got it wrong!) While sorting through old boxes the author finds a diary he kept during a stay in Paris in the 1960s. He had started medical school but been taken ill and had to abandon his studies for a while. He had two choices: a temporary job driving a fish delivery van or a trip to Paris. After much thought (lasting nearly a second) he chose to go to Paris. And this the story of what happened. Or is it? Who cares? As This England magazine says `Coleman is a very funny writer' and that is probably all that really matters. Vernon Coleman is a qualified doctor who has earned his living as a professional author for over 30 years. His books have sold over two million copies in hardback and paperback in the UK and been translated into 24 languages. An award winning film was made of his novel Mrs Caldicot's Cabbage War and he is the author of the hugely popular bestselling Bilbury series. His bestselling medical books include Bodypower (the subject of three TV series and one radio series), How To Stop Your Doctor Killing You and many more. He is the author of over 100 books and a list of books available in kindle form is available on his Amazon Author listing.What the papers say:Vernon Coleman writes brilliant books - The Good Book GuideColeman is a very funny writer - This EnglandNo thinking person can ignore him - The EcologistHe writes lucidly and wittily - Good HousekeepingSuperstar - Independent on SundayProbably one of the most brilliant men alive today - Irish TimesIt's impossible not to be impressed - Western Daily PressRevered guru of medicine - Nursing TimesMarvellously succinct, refreshingly sensible - The SpectatorKing of the media docs -The IndependentThe man is a national treasure - What Doctors Don't Tell youetc etc

Book Description
Bilbury Country is the fourth book in The Young Country Doctor series by Dr Vernon Coleman. The books are all set in the village of Bilbury in the English county of Devon. It's the 1970s and the village is old-fashioned and, in many ways, cut off from the world. Bilbury Country includes the usual cast of villagers - as well as the doctor and his wife.`The fourth book in the series describes what happens to Bilbury and its villagers when a newspaper story turns a trickle of visitors into a flood. Full of charm and humour.' - News & StarThe Bilbury books have attracted great reviews and thousands of fans around the world. `You can sniff the clean Devon air and recognise characters indigenous to any West Country village. Dr Coleman harnesses the essence of village life with a wealth of characters and strings them along on a tide of gentle humour.' Western Morning News`A cornupcopia of colourful characters helps to weave a rich tapestry of village life subtly tempered with the gentle humour which hallmarks this author's work. Set in the 1970s, the mixture of rural beauty, human nature and the odd whisper of nostalgia combine to make this book a real delight.' Western Gazette`Coleman handles the humour with the assured touch that comes from having already written a string of successful titles (and) manages to retain a heartwarming affection for his fellow man.' - Yorkshire Evening Post`For sheer relaxing pleasure here's another witty tale from the doctor whose prolific writings are so well known to many of us.' Bookshelf (BBC)`Captures the essence of old fashioned village life where you never needed to lock your door.' - Western Evening Herald`A pleasure to read from cover to cover.' - Kentish ExpressThe author of the Bilbury books, Vernon Coleman, is a bestselling writer whose books have sold over two million hardback and paperback copies in the UK alone and been translated into 24 languages.

Book Description
This volume gathers together and organizes in an easily accessible format all known information relevant to the life and work of the French jazz musician Django Reinhardt. Together with fellow musician, St ane Grappelli, Reinhardt became one of the twentieth century's most celebrated jazz artists with performances he gave as part of the Quintet of the Hot Club of France. Essentially discographical in format, this book updates the original work compiled by Charles Delauney in 1960, and draws on later work by Gould, Nevers, Royal and Rust, to detail all known recordings by Reinhardt, together with known film, radio and television appearances. For each entry Paul Vernon provides, where known, the location of the recording, the date, the artist credit as it appears on the label of the original issue, the performers and the instruments played by them, the matrix number, the exact timing of the recording and details of 78, LP, EP and CD issues. Interspersed at the appropriate chronological points are biographical details about Reinhardt and the political, social and cultural climate of his time. This is augmented with excerpts from reviews, letters and other documents to provide a vivid context for his recording work.

Book Description
The 6th volume of Vernon Coleman's diaries. Nothing like the Bilbury books. Contains nothing whatsoever about Gloucester Cathedral, embroidery or train spotting. Unsuitable for the politically correct. Strange things happen in the Coleman household. If anything unusual can happen it probably will. The Game's Afoot contains an unbelievable but true saga of what happened when they tried to sell their apartment in Paris and were forced to accept a buyer who couldn't even find the money for the deposit. Read why Vernon paid £2,500 to have the grass cut and sold a car for little more than half price. Vernon explains why we should declare war on the EU - and why we would win in days. He also explains why he thinks everyone would benefit if the McCanns were taken to court. All predictions are as they were made on the day of the diary - even if they now look stupid.
