The Lost Art of Walking Paperback edition by Geoff Nicholson
A new book which brings pedestrianism back to the centre of life, in which Nicholson muses on his own walks and looks at the thoughts and actions of walkers through history, including the competitive, the great and the merely eccentric. First published in the US in 2008, this revised and expanded edition includes 2 new chapters.
Subtitled "The History, Science, Philosophy, Literature, Theory and Practice of Pedestrianism". Walking was once our principle method of transport but now, for the able bodied, it's either something we barely notice or it has become a brief lifestyle choice.

First published in 1999, this is Kelly Howell's story, product of a fleeting Sixties marriage, who now lives a solitary if occasionally wild life in darkest Suffolk, nursing a sense of failure and driving a taxi to keep herself alive. Into this existence comes a young Californian tourist, demanding to be driven around local beauty spots.
Into the Havoc Bar and Grill walks Jenny Slade, guitar heroine. Her misogynistic, drunk audience will take a lot of impressing. But the object she brings from her case is like no guitar they have ever seen - it is part deadly weapon, part creature from some alien lagoon.
Paints a deft portrait of a city in transition. In this novel, the author's sharply drawn characters are people desperate to know where they are but scared of being truly seen. It is about the indelible scars we both live with and inflict on others.
Meeting the right woman is hard if you're a foot fetishist. Some slap your face, whilst others call the police. And then there's Catherine, who can lead you down all sorts of dark alleyways. Geoff Nicholson's other works include "Street Sleepers", "The Errol Flynn Novel" and "Everything and More".
