My Life With Murderers: Behind Bars With The World’s Most Violent Men
David Wilson
TV criminologist and former Wormwood Scrubs prison governor David Wilson charts a career spent trying to get inside the heads of some of Britain’s most dangerous, warped and notorious killers.
“Some of these people became my friends, others would love to kill me, even now,” he says.
He recalls conversations with serial killer Dennis Nilsen, who murdered at least 12 men, Ted Bundy, who killed 30, and “Doctor Death” Harold Shipman. But he bleakly concludes that society can do nothing to stop these men who “use violence on the spur of the moment and with little regard for the consequences”.

A Fabulous Creation: How The LP Saved Our Lives
David Hepworth
Hepworth charts the 15-year history of the LP, which he dates from the Beatles’ Sgt Pepper in 1967 until the advent of CDs in the 1980s. Sgt Pepper was, he contends, the first time musicians released an album as opposed to assembling a motley collection of songs. The result is a joyous and nostalgic celebration of the golden age of the LP.
