Book lovers rejoice - Carlton have page-turners to thrill one and all this Christmas, whether you are five or 95, and regardless of whether you prefer puzzles or history, music or military history.
Here's our pick from a very extensive catalogue of cool...
Music lovers will find plenty of reading matter with Carlton Books who have brilliant examples dedicated to legends of rock (Led Zeppelin, Bruce Springsteen, Nirvana and Pink Floyd) and pop (Madonna, Michael Jackson and The Bee Gees).
Prince: Stories from the Purple Underground is an essential for any self-respecting fan of the much-missed icon.
Journalist and Prince fanatic Mobeen Azhar interviewed key members of Prince's entourage, many of them speaking about the great man for the first time and this book highlights those first-hand accounts, to paint a more up-close-and-personal picture of this visionary artist than you have ever seen before.
Mum's are usually pretty fine at problem solving, which makes Carlton's great selection of brain teasers a no-brainer for you when it comes to stocking fillers this year.
From Codewords and Wordsearch, to Sudoku and Crosswords, there are plenty to choose from, and they are all dressed up in pretty florals too.
A separate series of Pocket to Brain Training books boast hundreds of Visual Puzzles, Workds & Numbers, Sudoku and Logic Puzzles waiting to be solved.
Kids will be in luck with colouring books (Colour Your Own: Doll's House, Around The World and Time Traveller), giggle-inducers (Mr Bean's Joke Book) and little paper world's (3D Colourscape: Ballerina Theatre and Undersea Kingdom).
The Cool and Calm Colouring for Kids is another winner, with books based around fantastic fashion, incredible animals and colour by numbers.
Augmented reality is a big deal just now, and Carlton bestsellers include My Little Pony: Where Equestria Comes To Life! and Jurassic World: From DNA to Indominus Rex!
This new title features a brilliant overview of the Jurassic Park trilogy and Jurassic World, and includes genetically engineered, terror-inspiring dinosaurs from the whole series, including new profiles for Tyrannosaurus rex, Indominus rex and Velociraptor, as well as other favourites from the original films. Uses the most advanced Augmented Reality: walk a lifesize Jurassic Park dinosaur across your floor, photograph friends with favourite dinosaurs from across the movie series and connect with another device in dual user mode to roam and explore. It's a must for every dinosaur fan...
Give Dad something to stick his nose into - and the Dangerous Book for Idiots could be just the thing to keep him quiet, and get him thinking!
Is your Dad stark raving bonkers, with no care for life and limb? Too much adrenaline and not enough brain cells? Like hospital food? Then this is just the book for him. A collection of no-brain misadventures, pranks, sports, jobs and dare-devil high jinks that no-one in their right mind would even contemplate trying.
Carlton also do a great line in sport offerings; Covering the beautiful game, tennis, rugby, running, Le Tour de France and plenty more.
Our pick of the bunch? Kicking Off (the big book of football's funniest quotes) and The Fastest Men on Earth are speedy winners.
From military history to music and reference to art and design, via health, lifestyle and crafts, shopping clever is made easy with Carlton this Christmas
