With My Story at the top of our bestsellers list, it seems we’re not only the ones excited to get our hands on a copy of Julia Gillard’s upcoming autobiography! Due for release in a few months, if you pre-order the book now you’ll receive a copy signed by Gillard herself.

Second on our list is another hotly-anticipated memoir from a female politician. Hillary Clinton’s Hard Choices arrived in-store last week and has found its way into many readers’ hands. Our managing director Mark Rubbo was particularly delighted to meet Clinton in person at the BookExpo America (the BEA) in New York.

Also appearing this week is Thomas Pavitte’s The 1000 Dot-to-Dot Book: Cityscapes which features 20 incredible drawings of some of the greatest cities in the world - each consisting of no fewer than one thousand dots. An excuse to stay indoors on a cold evening perhaps.
