About this deal

As well as early versions of song lyrics, the Books of Albion often contain writings or drawings from various other people, whether Doherty's close friends or one-time acquaintances, including Carl Barat, John Hassall, Mick Jones, Wolfman, Kate Moss, Mik Whitnall, Jake Fior, and the Queens of Noize.

Albion’s Secret History is an enjoyable skim through an enormous subject… Mankowski must be applauded for his guts… The terrific chapter on Peter Cook and Evelyn Waugh when talking of class privilege is kept on-point. The Books of Albion" is a fascinating joyride through the mind of the band's charismatic frontman Pete Doherty, its 300-plus pages made up of entries from his long-kept diary, his revelations, and there's more than a touch of James Joyce-like inscrutable meanderings in it too.To quote The Libertines, as Mankowski does, it is “Time for Hero’s” previously overlooked and not fully acknowledged by mainstream British society to be recognised.

Albion Books offers literature of different genres in English: ELT (English language teaching) books, business literature, technical literature, scientific literature, art books, illustrated books, courses, grammar book, dictionaries, methodological literature, atlases, maps, guide-books. I've been given enough cash to get trashed for the next six months just for digging out some scraps of stoned ramblings, so I'm sorted.As well as early versions of song lyrics, the Books of Albion often contain writings or drawings from various other people, whether Doherty’s close friends or one-time acquaintances, including Carl Barat, John Hassall, Mick Jones, Wolfman, Kate Moss, Mik Whitnall, Jake Fior, and the Queens of Noize.

The journals are reproduced just as he wrote them, in his own handwriting, complete with poems, drawings, photo-collages, and song lyrics.That he achieves the same effect with some of the people and events from history is an excellent achievement…It is, in fact, as if a musician is performing a medley of favourite tracks alongside some moments of deeply impassioned improvisation…Exceptional…some magnificent passages… There is something for everyone in this compilation…Albion’s Secret History is one for the rebels, one for the thinking rebels. There have been fascinating developments in the study of folklore in the last twenty-or-so years, but few books about British folklore and folk customs reflect these exciting new approaches. These twenty-odd books - edited and condensed into one volume - are filled with poems, drawings, personal reflections, lyrics and collages and form an intimate insight into the one of the music world's most talented and controversial figures. The ability to comment on our stories is a privilege, not a right, however, and that privilege may be withdrawn if it is abused or misused. As well as music, Mankowski draws from art, film, architecture and politics, showing the moments at which artists like Tricky and Goldfrapp altered our sense of a sometimes green but sometimes unpleasant land.
