Grandaddy Drove An Oldsmobile is a tale of the 1950's about two skinny twin urchins living in the colonial and historic village of Worthington, Ohio. Their adventures encompass exploring the woods and ravines in Davy Crocket coonskin hats and walking around with their cowboy hats and fanner fifties revolvers. Their love of American cars, family members who are vivid characters, emerging rock and roll music, and their creation of havoc in the village is well told. This is a tale of the innocent years before assassinations, and an asian war that damaged the American psyche itself.

Driving To The Darkness is a story of the 1960's about Splinters and Boomer in a decade of an asian war, anti war protests, assassinations in the country, civil rights, pot smoking and wonderful rock 'n roll music that the twins collected and listened to endlessly. It begins with the calm of the early sixties and a young president being elected to office. It shows the violence and near civil war that followed, as the psyche of the country became damaged from President Kennedy's killing to other killings and violence. The decade was also the emergence of incredible singers and songwriters, Bob Dylan and The Beatles. The intensity and fury of life in America became frightening on a national and a personal level.

Political, social and racial discrimination in inter-war England explored through one case study of the corrupt antiques market. In 1922, Adolphe Shrager having made his fortune during the First World War, approached the London dealer Basil Dighton for advice on purchasing antique furniture. Dighton sold him about five hundred items but shortly afterwards Shrager discovered that one of his 'collector's pieces' was judged to be a fake and grossly over-priced, and he sued. The trial, held in early 1923, became a cause celebre, but it can be viewed as a case study of a much wider set of social and cultural concerns: the fact that Shrager lost both the first trial and the appeal, despite demonstrating on numerous occasions that he had a clear case against Dighton, raises questions of race, prejudice and class, where the establishment closed ranks against Shrager, the nouveau riche Jew and alleged war profiteer. This book - the first on the Shrager Dighton case - is the result of the author's original archival research.
