ShortList article

Sneakers garnered the following review in ShortList mag recently: "It appears increasingly OK for men to own trainers in sums that would put Imelda Marcos to shame, so this handy 'history of the sports shoe' will be a bible to many. Taking in the early origins, the rise of cusomisation and the cultural niches that have seen Nike conquer basketball while skateboarders stick to Vans, it's an interseting read. Oh, and it's also packed with enough full-colour photos to fill your trainer-porn quota for a good few months"

A British Picture jacket image

We are pleased to announce that Southbank will publish Ken Russell's autobiography 'A British Picture' in the summer
'I owe my autobiography to all the people who denigrate me or don't understand me. Maybe they'll understand me even less. But I think it'll contain some sort of truth about me that isn't contained in crude assessments. It's about somebody who doesn't, on the face of it, seem too political, too committed, or press his working class background. I can't be fitted into any of those pigeonholes. My autobiography's a dismissal of all that crap. It's a picture of imagery and bizarre happening and fun and contradiction and crazy dialogue. It's a montage, it's an event, but it's not conventional'.
Ken Russell
