A hidden attic panel. An oilskin map. A secret buried for three hundred years.

Ollie Fenwick expects a quiet week helping his family sort through the old River Elder Coach Inn, a former coaching inn full of dusty rooms, creaking floors and forgotten boxes. But when Ollie and his friends, Maya Merrin and Rowan Pike, uncover a rolled-up map hidden deep in the attic, their ordinary visit becomes a mystery that reaches back to the age of smugglers, river trade and dangerous secrets.

Buying your first home can feel overwhelming.

There are mortgages to understand, deposits to protect, estate agents to speak to, solicitors to chase, surveys to arrange, moving dates to plan, bills to set up and unexpected costs waiting around almost every corner.

The First-Time Buyer Survival Log is designed to help you stay organised through the whole journey.

Written in a clear, practical style, this UK-focused workbook helps you prepare before you start viewing, understand what happens after an offer is accepted, survive moving day, settle into the first few days, inspect your new home, plan your budget, manage DIY and renovation, and keep track of ongoing maintenance.

Importantly, this book recognises that buying a home is not identical across the UK. It includes specific sections for England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, covering important differences such as the Scottish process, Home Reports, missives, property taxes, devolved rules, safety requirements and homeowner responsibilities.

That means the book is useful whether you are buying in England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland, with clear reminders to check the rules that apply where you are buying.

This is not just a guidebook. It is a working log.

Use it to record your mortgage details, property viewing notes, solicitor dates, survey findings, moving-day meter readings, emergency contacts, snagging issues, monthly budget, tradespeople, renovation plans, maintenance checks and first-home priorities.

Inside you will find sections covering:

• Getting ready financially before you start searching

• Understanding conveyancing, surveys, searches, exchange and completion

Ideal for UK first-time buyers, first-time buyers in England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland, young and older adults preparing to buy their first property, couples planning their first home purchase, parents buying a useful gift for a son or daughter, and anyone who wants a practical home-buying organiser rather than a complicated property textbook.

The First-Time Buyer Survival Log gives you one place to plan, record, check and organise the practical details of buying and settling into your first home.

Plan. Search. Buy. Move. Renovate. Settle.

Important note: This workbook is for practical planning and organisational purposes only. It does not provide legal, financial, mortgage, tax, surveying or regulated professional advice.

The Titanic Inquiries brings together the two principal official reports into the loss of RMS Titanic: the United States Senate report and the British Board of Trade / Lord Mersey report, both first published in 1912.

This edition presents the official reports as historical documents, supported by a modern introduction to the ship, the voyage, the disaster, the inquiries and the safety reforms that followed. It is designed for readers who want more than a short retelling of the sinking: historians, researchers, Titanic enthusiasts, students and anyone who wants to read what the official inquiries actually concluded.

Inside this volume you will find:

• The United States Senate report on the loss of Titanic
• The British Wreck Commissioner's Inquiry report under Lord Mersey
• Background chapters on Titanic's construction, technical design, passengers, crew, wireless messages, lifeboats and rescue by Carpathia
• A comparison of the American and British findings
• Chronologies of the ship, the disaster and the distress calls
• Tables covering lifeboats, casualty totals, witnesses and inquiry recommendations
• Passenger lists, a technical glossary, source notes and bibliography

The reports are reproduced as official historical texts, with editorial material kept separate from the original wording. Where the facts remain disputed, this edition explains the uncertainty rather than forcing a single modern answer onto the 1912 record.

Edited and introduced by Graeme Hanson, The Titanic Inquiries is a substantial 8.5 x 11 inch reference edition for readers who want the documentary record, the context around it and the tools to follow the evidence.

The logbook provides 100 pages of a simple, effective system to record key flight details in one place. Designed with real-world use in mind, it helps you stay organised, prepared and ready to reference important information whenever needed.

It works neatly alongside digital tools such as Dronitrak and Shotara: keep the paper log for field notes and operator records, then use exported files, reports and images for client-ready evidence packs.

• 100 pages for structured flight records
• Suitable for recreational and commercial flyers
• Supports compliance and incident reference notes
• Available as an Amazon KDP paperback
