1.PowerPoint by Katrien Moore. An amazing story based on real life events of a young woman who finds that a third class law degree from Blankenburg Polytechnic and a brief flirtation with a septuagenarian tycoon, provides the perfect fast-track to the top flight of English football. "An inspiration for all of us with ambition and no ability," (The Antwerp Chronicle). Only £29-99

2.My winning formula by Roland Duchatalet. The charismatic football maverick reveals his proven mathematic equation that shows if you use at least 5 coaches and 187 players in one season and ensure that at least 86.98% are complete crap, you can propel a team languishing in the second tier of English football to the bottom half of the same division. A life-changing read and the ultimate Christmas bargain at £465-50 (Euros also accepted).

3.The 2% must die by Professor Ron Smelling. Award-winning sociologist Professor Ron Smelling of Antwerp university shows that in all organisations there is a 2% minority that will never comply with the leader's wishes due to psychiatric and mental deficiencies on their part. In this scientific blockbuster, Smelling uses a number of PowerPoint slides to show that if those 2% are simply eliminated (from the equation) that organisation will immediately reach the Premiership. Only £19-99.

4.I love Roly by Colin '1961' Duchatelet. A tear jerking love story of one man's undying loyalty to an eccentric electronics entrepreneur; a beloved father-figure who never returned his calls. "The ultimate unrequited love story" (4-4-2 magazine) "Very sad indeed" (The Sun). "He never had friends at school" (Colin's Mum). Only £1-99 if you agree to talk to Colin.

5. No Substitute (for the Belgians) by Keith Peacock In a rapid re-working of this Valley classic , Charlton legend Keith Peacock explains that working for the Belgians is in fact far more interesting than being the Football League's first ever substitute and this has nothing at all to do with him being sacked if he says otherwise. Only £2-99 with trade in option for any original copy of No Substitute (photos only in black & white).

  • Phone photography for beginners - Katrien Moore

    Following her hugely successful foray into the literature world with 'Powerpoint', Moore returns with this excellent guide to capturing great photos on your mobile phone. The stand out chapter includes a tutorial on taking elevated group shots.

    Photographers World says 'includes great tips on relaxing your subjects by laughing as you snap - guaranteeing only the most joyful of reportage photographs'.

    Efficient Recruitment - Katrien Moore

    Proving that there really is no end to her talents and following hot on the heels of 'Powerpoint' and 'Phone photography for beginners', Moore is able to demonstrate how to efficiently and effectively recruit senior positions in your organisation with the minimal of fuss. In her concise three step strategy she is able to demonstrate how you can scan the market, interview all of the best candidates and fill senior roles within 48 hours. If your organisation doesn't have 48 hours then Moore has help for you too as she spells out her no lose strategy in the chapter 'promote the post boy on an interim basis'.

    Business Week says 'revelationary, a unique take on recruitment that will save recruiting managers in all types of business the pain and effort of actually considering their next appointment, 'promote the post boy...' is a genius 'lose-win-win' strategy, if it's successful then your superiors think that you can spot unrealised talent, if it fails then you were only covering the gap until you could find the 48 hours required to run a full search anyway'.

    Interim Farm

    In a modern twist on the Orwell classic, renowned author Roland Duchatelet writes a semi-autobiographical tale in which he owns a number of farms across Europe, claiming he loves each of his ‘children’ equally.

    On these farms are a host of animals, some big, some small, but 99% of them shit at football. In order to show off their prowess and make them profitable at the market, he uses Excel spreadsheets and the experience of Farmer Fry to decide which of his 3-legged donkeys in Belgium would be suited to life England. Then charges the farm for it.

    Many existing favourites are put out to pasture whilst Farmer O’Meire is left to sabotage protests and quell unhappy farm staff and visitors:

    “No one believes more firmly than Comrade Duchatelet that we are all equal. He would be only too happy to let you make your decisions for yourselves. But sometimes you might make the wrong decisions, comrades, and then where should we be?”

    The novel rushes towards a crescendo when upon Comrade Duchatelet uses his other mouth piece, Farmer Fry, to declare that “all managers are interim but some are more interim than others.”

    In the end each farm is left with no visitors, no identity, just a few cute chicks and piglets who are sold for a pittance to whichever butcher first comes knocking.
