A selection of classic Manchester ghost stories, made from plaited fog; a psycho-geography of the M60 Motorway (though with full technical annexe); and two books on the Stanleys of Alderley - the autobiography of the present Thomas, 8th Lord Stanley and an idyllic window onto birdwatching at Alderley rectory in the 1830s by his illustrious ancestor, Edward Stanley, Rector of Alderley, and latterly Lord Bishop of Norwich.

We are able to offer two reports on the Gold Market and on Gold Mining in China, produced by AMCD in conjunction with the World Gold Council and GFMS, who are among the world's top gold analysts.

The Birds of Alderley Edge in 1837 by Edward Stanley. GBP £4.95
Edward Stanley D.D., Fellow of the Royal Society, Fellow of the Geological Society, of the Stanleys of Alderley, was Rector of Alderley from 1805 to 1837. During that time he meticulously observed the local birdlife. These extracts, in pamphlet form, are from his 'Familiar Birds', now out of print for over a century, and refer solely to Alderley Edge and its immediate neighbourhood, They also cover the dates of arrival of many local birds - a useful calibration to today's much earlier dates. He also draws attention to the growing disappearance of some previously common birds such as woodcocks.
