Sex and Stravinsky
$8.00
The time is 1995, but everybody is linked by their past. Brilliant Australian Caroline can command everyone except her own ghoulish mother, which means that things aren’t easy for Josh and Zoe, her husband and twelve-year-old-daughter.
Josh has bizarre origins in a South African mining town, but now teaches mime in Bristol. Zoe reads girls’ ballet books and longs for ballet lessons; a thing denied to her until, on a school French exchange, she meets a runaway boy in a woodland hut. Meanwhile, on the east coast of Africa, Hattie Thomas, Josh’s first love, has taken to writing girls’ ballet books from the turret of her fabulous house – that’s when she can carve out the space between the forceful presence of Herman and her crosspatch daughter Cat who, after some illicit snooping, is secretly planning a make-or-break essay on mask dancers in Mali. Hattie wakes from a dream of Stravinsky’s Pulcinella and asks herself about the composer, ‘Do his glasses look sexy?’ His glasses are just like Josh’s glasses from two decades earlier. From far and wide, they are all drawn together; drawn to Jack’s place. Or is he Jacques? Or Giacomo?
Beautiful, mysterious Jack, the one-time backyard housemaid’s child who, having journeyed via Mozambique and Senegal to Milan, is back exactly where he started – only not for long.
In its mix of people from different spheres, the book throws up the complexity, cruelty and richness of the global world while, as a sequence of personal stories, it comes together like a dance; a masquerade in which things are not always what they seem.

The Ultimate Question 2.0 How Net Promoter Companies Thrive in a Customer-driven World
$22.00
In the first edition of this landmark book, business loyalty guru Fred Reichheld revealed the question most critical to your company’s future: “Would you recommend us to a friend?” By asking customers this question, you identify detractors, who sully your firm’s reputation and readily switch to competitors, and promoters, who generate good profits and true, sustainable growth.

You also generate a vital metric: your Net Promoter Score. Since the book was first published, Net Promoter has transformed companies, across industries and sectors, constituting a game-changing system and ethos that rivals Six Sigma in its power.

In this thoroughly updated and expanded edition, Reichheld, with Bain colleague Rob Markey, explains how practitioners have built Net Promoter into a full-fledged management system that drives extraordinary financial and competitive results. With his trademark clarity, Reichheld:

* Defines the fundamental concept of Net Promoter, explaining its connection to your company’s growth and sustained success
* Presents the closed-loop feedback process and demonstrates its power to energize employees and delight customers
* Shares new and compelling stories of companies that have transformed their performance by putting Net Promoter at the center of their business

Practical and insightful, The Ultimate Question 2.0 provides a blueprint for long-term growth and success.

There was something wicked about Beau that drew me to him. What was wrong with me? Why did I want to sin so badly?

Ashton is getting tired of being good, of impressing her parents and playing ideal girlfriend to Sawyer Vincent.

When Ashton wants to rekindle their childhood friendship in Sawyer’s absence, Beau knows he should say no.

The Greatest Networker in the World
$6.00
The Greatest Networker in the World is a business parable by John Milton Fogg, first published in 1997. It’s inspired by the storytelling style of Og Mandino and focuses on building authentic, long-term relationships rather than transactional networking. Fair: Minor marks on the cover. Binding is good. Core idea: The book argues that the best networkers don’t collect contacts—they create genuine friendships by consistently helping others without expecting immediate rewards. Main lessons: Give before you receive. Offer value, encouragement, introductions, or assistance without keeping score. Focus on relationships, not transactions. Strong networks are built on trust over time. Listen more than you talk. Understanding others’ needs is more valuable than promoting yourself. Be authentic. People respond to sincerity rather than polished sales techniques. Stay in touch consistently. Meaningful relationships require regular contact, even when you don’t need anything. Create opportunities for others. Introducing people and helping them succeed strengthens your own network naturally. The story: The book follows a fictional protagonist who learns these principles from a successful mentor. Through a series of experiences, the character discovers that networking is less about self-promotion and more about serving others, building trust, and developing lasting relationships. Who it’s for This book is well suited to: Entrepreneurs and business owners; Sales professionals; Job seekers; Leaders and managers; Anyone who wants to improve professional relationships. Key takeaway: The central message can be summarized as: Your network grows strongest when your primary goal is to help other people succeed. Trust, generosity, and consistency create opportunities that transactional networking rarely does.
