JULY'S Book Club book of the month is Gold and you can get it for half price at Waterstone's.

Author Chris Cleave has produced a cracking novel about the world of track cycling and the pressure top athletes come under as they prepare to compete on the world stage.

It is the first time our Book Club has offered a hardback book and, if you get the token printed in Thursday's edition of The Guide, you can pick it up at Waterstones in Oxford and Witney for £8.49.

Mr Cleave won our first Waterstones Oxford/Oxford Mail Book Club of the Year in 2009 with The Other Hand.
