By Francq & Giacometti Publisher: Cinebook ISBN: 9781849185400 I read this book in the same week that the GameStop stock market story hit the news.

Wyoming Doll
By Franz Publisher: Cinebook ISBN: 9781849184502 To date, the Expresso label on a Cinebook title has been a guarantee of quality, and that’s no less the case here with Wyoming Doll.
