We sat down in a lovely hotel in a nice part of town and she hit me with her first question- "This must mean a lot to you with you coming from nothing" I looked at her and I laughed. "I did'nae come from nothing" I told her. "I come from something." I grew up in the tenements of post-war Glasgow. I am very proud to be working class and especially a working-class Glaswegian who has worked in the shipyards. I come from the working class. And most of all I come from Scotland. Scotland is a unique and wonderful place. Its national motto says a lot about it- Nemo me impune lacessit.

ABOUT THIS BOOK: Anne Frank was born in Frankfurt-am-Main Germany on 12th June 1929 the second child of Otto and Edith Frank. In 1933 Hitler had come to power and was taking more and more measures against the Jews. The Frank family feared what the future might hold if they stayed in Germany. When Otto received an offer to start a new company in Amsterdam the family decided to move to the Netherlands. Anne was a lively and fun-loving little girl who had lots of friends. She went to a Montessori school with her sister Margot also extremely bright and clever. In 1940 Hitler invaded the Netherlands and gradually imposed their restrictions on the Jews. Otto transferred his business to his trusted colleagues Johannes Kleiman and Victor Kugler and began preparing the secret annexe connected to the office warehouse for hiding. Anne was given her diary on her 13th birthday in 1942 and she immediately began writing in it about her family friends and school. A month later Margot like thousands of other young Jews received a call-up notice and was ordered to report to the SS. That evening the family moved into the secret annexe and with the help of Kleiman and Kugler and employees Miep Santrouschitz and Bep Voskuijl they remained in hiding for the next two years. Anne died in Bergen-Belsen concentration camp near Hanover Germany in February or early March l945 just days after her sister Margot and only a few weeks before the camp was liberated by British troops.

ABOUT THIS BOOK: WORKING CLASS BOY: Long before Cold Chisel long before 'Barnesy' there was the true story of James Dixon Swan A household name an Australian rock icon the elder statesman of Ozrock - there isn't an accolade or cliche that doesn't apply to Jimmy Barnes. But long before Cold Chisel and 'Barnesy' long before the tall tales of success and excess there was the true story of James Dixon Swan - a working class boy whose family made the journey from Scotland to Australia in search of a better life. Working Class Boy is a powerful reflection on a traumatic and violent childhood which fuelled the excess and recklessness that would define but almost destroy the rock'n'roll legend. This is the story of how James Swan became Jimmy Barnes. It is a memoir burning with the frustration and frenetic energy of teenage sex drugs violence and ambition for more than what you have. Raw gritty compassionate surprising and darkly funny Jimmy Barnes's childhood memoir is at once the story of migrant dreams fulfilled and dashed. After arriving in Australia in the summer of 1962 things went from bad to worse for the Swan family - Dot Jim and their six kids. The scramble to manage in the tough northern suburbs of Adelaide in the 60s would take its toll on the Swans as dwindling money too much alcohol and fraying tempers gave way to violence and despair. This is the story of a family's collapse but also of a young boy's dream to escape the misery of the suburbs with a once-in-a-lifetime chance to join a rock'n'roll band and get out of town for good. WORKING CLASS MAN: It's a life too big and a story too extraordinary for just one book. Jimmy Barnes has lived many lives - from Glaswegian migrant kid to iconic front man from solo superstar to proud father of his own musical clan. In this hugely anticipated sequel to his critically acclaimed bestseller Working Class Boy Jimmy picks up the story of his life as he leaves Adelaide in the back of an old truck with a then unknown band called Cold Chisel. A spellbinding and searingly honest reflection on success fame and addiction; this self-penned memoir reveals how Jimmy Barnes used the fuel of childhood trauma to ignite and propel Australia's greatest rock'n'roll story. But beyond the combustible merry-go-round of fame drugs and rehab across the Cold Chisel solo and soul years - this is a story about how it's never too late to try and put things right.
