The laws of rugby are as extensive as they are confusing, their nuances and interpretations argued over relentlessly by rugby fans around the world and virtually impenetrable to those who are new to the game.In an effort to provide some much-needed clarity, Paul Williams takes an irreverent, hilarious, p*ss-taking tour through the labyrinth that is rugbys rule book or, for the pedantic, rugbys law book.Hilarious, off-beat and (surprisingly) insightful, this is the perfect gift for rugby fans all around the world.

THE #1 IRISH TIMES BESTSELLER For almost forty years, Paul Williams has chronicled the life and crimes of some of Irelands most notorious godfathers, killers and thieves. In Crooks he brings his readers for a ride-along, taking us behind the scenes of his most notorious scoops, describing the run-ins hes had with unsavoury, dangerous criminals and the high price of his line of work. From pursuing the General to death threats from PJ The Psycho Judge, exposing the Westies and tracking the Kinahan cartel, Pauls extraordinary career doubles as an eyewitness account of the evolution of organized crime in Ireland.

On the streets of the tough Dublin inner-city neighbourhood where he grew up, Gerry Hutch was perceived as an ordinary decent criminal, a quintessential Robin Hood figure who fought the law - and won. To the rest of the world he was an elusive criminal godfather called the Monk: an enigmatic criminal mastermind and the hunted leader of one side in the deadliest gangland feud in Irish criminal history. The latest book from Irelands leading crime writer Paul Williams reveals the inside story of Hutchs war with former allies the Kinahan cartel, and how the once untouchable crime boss became a fugitive on the run from the law and the mob - with a ?1 million bounty on his head. The Monk is an enthralling account of the rise and fall of a modern-day gangster, charting the violent journey of an impoverished kid from the ghetto to the top tier of gangland - until it all went wrong.

Now in small format, here is the acclaimed in-depth analysis of Dylan's groundbreaking and often controversial work on stage and in the studio. With b/w photos.
