Killer Ideas. They're out there. Wild, unpredictable and dangerous. So powerful they can stop a person in their tracks, turn a life around, start a revolution, or even change the world. Hunting the Killer Idea takes the intrepid reader through the jungle of the mind as the creative process is brought to life in vivid detail. Examining what it is that makes great ideas stand the test of time as we attempt to capture the essence of creativity. Along the way we talk to those who have hunted down their own Killer Idea and lived to tell the tale. An artist, Ad-legend, anarchist, rock-star, philosopher and many other heroes and villains relive the thrill of the chase and pass on their unconventional and original advice. Whether you're the creative type or not, starting a business, studying, making art or just mucking around.
This book is essential reading for anyone who knows they've got a Killer Idea hiding somewhere deep inside and the time to hunt it down has come. Hunting The Killer Idea captures the creative process in a fresh, unexpected and compelling way and assembles the big ideas and sharpest insights from around the world. Hunting is not only of practical use in terms of approach and technique, but is also a source of inspiration to help break through the barriers we all encounter This book is a must read for anyone who realises the time for procrastination is over.

Beyond chuffed! Fantastic books at ridiculously cheap prices. Beautifully packed too.Yay!
Really interesting books. I have been collecting art books for many years and I now have quite a few from Books About Art. Sensible prices and the opportunity to support a local (to me) independent book shop instead of Amazon
What an unusual andfantastic book. So interesting and beautifully presented and bound. What a wonderful project.
Brilliant book and price
The Great William Hogarth.
Informative book.
Independent bookshop run by Guy, great books great value prices !
Really impressed with this book store. The prices are very good, my order was delivered quickly, and there’s a brilliant variety of interesting titles to choose from. A smooth, reliable experience from start to finish.
I thought I already knew a great deal about Adge Cutler, but Adge – King of the Wurzels proved me wrong in the best possible way. Packed with fresh stories, fascinating insights, and meticulous detail, it sheds new light on the man behind the music. The writing is engaging and highly readable—I repeatedly found myself reading far longer than I had intended.
Entertaining, informative, and genuinely difficult to put down, this is a must-read for any Wurzels fan. Although I'm Welsh rather than West Country, Adge's appeal reaches far beyond Somerset. His talent, character, and legacy transcend regional boundaries, and this book captures them brilliantly.
Great communication, and book exactly as described
I wasn’t aware these books existed until I came across your web site,both great especially the book about the Colston Hall
Quality and speed of delivery excellent
