The perfect gift to tell someone that they are going to be a Godfather, with a lovely surprise in the back. When a baby is born it changes many people's lives. Someone goes from being a friend, to becoming a Grandfather, a Brother becomes an Uncle, a Mum becomes a Grandmother. This is a wonderful change and one worth celebrating (and preparing for). You're Going to Be a Godfather is one of a range of gift books that announce and mark this occasion. Each one is a tongue-in-cheek look at the things you'll be expected to do. Then neatly tucked in the back is a beautiful gift for the person, and the new person they are about to meet. It is a 12 page board book. Each page is made from heavy recycled cardboard and is beautifully illustrated. The socks are made from 80% cotton, 15% polyester and 5% spandex. Wash at a low temperature, up to 40 degrees. Avoid tumble dryer. Do not iron. The sock size is 8-12 US men's and newborn baby.

John O'Kane delivers a gripping tale of a life dedicated to football violence and gives an unparalled insight into the reality of being a career hooligan. With 33 criminal convictions against him, plus a further 33 cases either dropped or with a not guilty verdict, O'Kane has been remanded nine times including one charge of attempted murder when he was aged just 18. He became rapidly embroiled in a life of violence and was in and out of prison just as many times as he was in and out of a hospital bed.His was a life dedicated to the gang he founded, the Celtic Soccer Crew. O'Kane describes the extraordinary struggle of a gang of football hooligans to survive, despite discovering an unexpected enemy: the indomitable Celtic support - a support that guarded its reputation and good name with a passion O'Kane hadn't reckoned with, even as a Celtic supporter himself. But out on the streets and causing mayhem, the Celtic Soccer Crew, including, incredibly, their girlfriends, showed they were not taking grief from anyone.

This book is a reminiscence that celebrates Venice, California's heyday as an alternative community and what survives from it in the present. Many wonder how much longer this city's creative state of mind can persist as gentrification threatens to transform this legendary bohemian Mecca into merely another beach resort for the propertied. The author discusses these threats, but finds in the consciousness of remaining alternative residents a spirit of resistance to these pressures.
