20/20 Visionaries: Dead Celebrity Interviews
£7.65
Dive into the pages of Dead celebrity Interviews, where the voices of history's most intriguing personalities are resurrected to tackle modern dilemmas. This bold and imaginative book presents a series of fabricated interviews with 20 iconic figures – from the powerful thunder of Zeus to the poignant melodies of Nina Simone, and from the philosophical musings of Albert Camus to the adventurous tales of Robin Hood and Maid Marion.
Each interview in this collection is a masterful blend of humour and insight, offering a satirical yet profound perspective on today's most pressing issues. Imagine Virginia Woolf discussing gender equality, Popeye and Tom giving their take on domestic violence, or Anne Brontë weighing in on modern education trends. Dead Celebrity Interviews seamlessly marries the past with the present, inviting readers to reflect on contemporary problems through the lens of those who grappled with similar challenges centuries ago.
Featuring a diverse cast of characters including Bertie Wooster, Diogenes the Dog, Abel Magwitch, Mr. Venus, the infamous Charles “Lucky” Luciano, and even the enigmatic Flipper, each interview is a creative and thought-provoking journey through time.
Crafted with wit and a keen eye for societal critique, Dead Celebrity Interviews is more than just a book; it's a portal to the past with a direct line to the present. It's an invitation to laugh, ponder, and perhaps even gain wisdom from the voices that echo through history.

Freedom from Bosses Forever
£9.95
Freedom from Bosses Forever is a book every lover of satire will enjoy, even if they are not interested in starting and running their own business. It has been described as unique by many reviewers and critics because the characters that appear in it are fictional apart from the much derided, Tony Robinson OBE.
'Snorting with laughter' is not an unusual reader re-action. The fictional fashionista,and narrator of the story, Leonora Soculitherz (So-cool-it-hurts) takes the reader on a journey of discovery. Soculitherz (single celebrity name like Beyonce, Rihanna, Madonna, Cher and Batman) investigates a government and big business conspiracy whilst unearthing, along the way, the bare essentials of 'own business' success.
The business tips that appear throughout the book are real and global entrepreneur and owner of WinWeb, Stefan Topfer has called it: 'The funniest hard-hitting business book, that is absolutely full of business truth'.
The Kindle book and the paperback version of Freedom from Bosses Forever are both improved and updated versions of the award winning 'Stripping for Freedom'. Freedom from Bosses Forever also contains bonus features. Some of these are 'just for fun' but for those that have escaped, or wish to escape the rat race, there are links to the author's favourite, and free, enterprise support websites.
Reviews
"I've discovered a rare treat. A business book that's valuable and very funny too. When is the last time you read a business book that made you laugh out loud? Every month there seems to be scores of new books about different aspects of business. Very few focus on the special issues relating to running a business from home. And very, very few have ever made me laugh. This is an exception to the rule." Dave Sumner-Smith is the former Programme Director of Home Business Network and The telegraph Business Club.
"Can I sue for emotional stress? OK Tony I am most displeased with you - you shouldn't have written such a funny book. Picture the scene - we are taking a family break down in Brighton and I have found a good deal at The Grand Hotel (swanky or what) One afternoon it is raining so I decide to have tea and a nice read in the lounge. I stupidly took 'Stripping for Freedom' (the forerunner of Freedom from Bosses Forever) with me and firstly had raised eyebrows from the waiter. Secondly and worst - I started laughing aloud so hard that it came out as a snort - v. embarrassing - other guests lowered their copies of the Telegraph and Wisden to look disapprovingly at me! Seriously it is so funny Tony." Eva Davies, Owner of The Electric Zone.
"Laughing out loud. I'm really enjoying reading this. Indeed my snort of laughter woke up a few sleeping travellers on a Brighton to Victoria train when I read the part about looking good being simply a matter of how well you tuck in your bits!" Julie Stanford owns/designed 'The Essential Business Guide'

The Happipreneur
£12.99
The book charts his fascinating life from CEO and global Rockstar of Amway to his off the cuff #MicroBizMatters events. Exposing how business owners are conned out of their money by “industry advisers” and often forced into debt. A modern and up to date take on Small is Beautiful by EF Schumacher.
Both authors agree that no-one can afford to wait for the revolution any more than they can afford to wait for a vaccine. Johnston explained: ‘As business owners, Tony, myself and all our readers have to just get on with it. It is always a rollercoaster and we expect the unexpected.
We hope our guide helps them to avoid the snakes and climb the ladders. Tony’s story of what he has learned from his own businesses and working with many famous entrepreneurs is important for others to know. It is about how to live an enterprising and happy life.
We answer the question ‘How to become a Happipreneur?’. We call out the fakes and the scammers and provide a blueprint for the Establishment on why and how they can level the playing field.” An insight into the life of a man who has dedicated the last 30 years to improving the way MicroBiz owners are treated but is also a no-nonsense guide to avoiding the pitfalls small business owners face.
“Masturbation is good but Musturbation is bad” Albert Ellis describes the three things that hold us back: I must do well. You must treat me well and the world must be easy.
This book is not only an insight into the life of a man who has dedicated the last 30 years to improving the way MicroBiz owners are treated; but is also a no-nonsense guide to avoiding the pitfalls small business owners face. Tony has lived, without a doubt, an incredibly interesting and diverse life, from being the CEO of a huge corporation to almost single-handedly campaigning for the little guy.
With insights from some of the UK’s leading entrepreneurs, you will find information here that many “Gurus” don’t want you to know and that some business advisers will never tell you.
