Stanley Baker: A Biography (ISBN 9780708321263)
Stanley Baker is one of only a handful of Welsh-born actors to have become a major film star. Like his friend Richard Burton, his rise to fame took him from an impoverished childhood in the valleys of south Wales to international stardom in films such as Zulu and Accident. As well as being an important figure in front of the camera, he became a producer and film executive as well, whilst never losing his strong links with his Welsh background.

David Lloyd George: The Movie Mystery (ISBN 070831371X)
This is the incredible story of a silent film, made in 1918, but not screened in public until 1996. The central figure in this drama - on and off screen - is the charismatic prime minister, David Lloyd George. Completed in the last months of the First World War, The Life Story of David Lloyd George was suddenly and mysteriously withdrawn before its first trade screening; solicitors, presumably acting for the government or for the Liberal party, paid £20,000 to remove the film from the offices of Ideal, the film's production company. It was long thought that both copies had been lost or destroyed, and then in 1994 the complete negative was found amongst material supplied by Viscount Tenby (Lloyd George's grandson) for examination by the Wales Film and Television Archive.

 | Opera House Lottery: Zaha Hadid and the Cardiff Bay Project (ISBN 0-7083-1442-2)
For anyone interested in attracting lottery money, or concerned with the tragicomedy of arts funding and public building in Britain, this is both an instructive read and "a source of innocent merriment"
. . . so said the RIBA Journal about Lord Crickhowell's new book - a devastating account of the Cardiff Opera house fiasco. But this is no dry, desiccated account:
'Lord Crickhowell tells a story which . . . grips like a thriller . . . '
