On Christmas Eve, New York cop John McClane (Bruce Willis) is
visiting his estranged wife Holly (Bonnie Bedelia) in Los Angeles,
where she works. They are attending a party at Holly's high-rise
office block when terrorists, led by the suave Hans Gruber (Alan
Rickman) break in, taking everyone hostage. McClane manages to
evade capture, however, and sets out to rescue his wife and the
other prisoners. It is not long before he is running barefoot over
shattered glass (ouch!) in a sweaty vest, muttering 'Yippy kay aye'
as he dispatches the baddies with bullets and a certain earthy wit.
This enjoyable new book delves into unexplored areas of history
surrounding the great network of the West Midland Canals. It
provides a new insight into its most fascinating figures and
places, including interviews with some of the last true boatmen,
whose world disappeared forever during the turbulent 1960s. It
reveals fascinating figures like John Corbett, who became one of
the richest men in Britain during the 19th century, through salt
and canals. He built a fabulous chateau for his unfaithful wife on
the outskirts of Droitwich that can still be visited today. We also
have an account of how the Droitwich Canals have been wonderfully
restored to the navigation system, with old and new photographs
depicting the changes. And not forgetting such pivotal characters
such as Boulton and Watt, who were an essential part of the canal
story. We at The History Press are sure that this book will appeal
to canal enthusiasts and all who love the West Midlands with its
amazing Waterways.

special results. So settle down and enjoy the ride, as you feast
your eyes and eat your heart out for all the beautiful bikes

Double feature starring Basil Rathbone as detective Sherlock
Holmes. In 'The Hound of the Baskervilles' (1939), Sir Charles
Baskerville is found dead with an expression of utter terror on his
face, and the locals ascribe his demise to the ancient family curse
- a hell-hound, said to roam the moors. With the aid of Doctor
Watson (Nigel Bruce), Holmes sets out to discover whether there is
any substance to the legend - before Sir Henry Baskerville, newly
arrived from America to claim his inheritance, also falls prey to
the family curse. In 'Sherlock Holmes and the Voice of Terror'
(1942), mysterious wireless broadcasts - apparently from Nazi
Germany - are heard over the BBC airwaves. They warn of acts of
terror in England, just before they take place. Baffled, the
Defence Committee call in Holmes and his erstwhile assistant Doctor
Watson to investigate...
