	David Seaman Philip Dodd HarperCollins Invincible Press • 1997 • ISBN 0 00 218820 1 One of the initial titles in a series called Heroes, ‘fast-moving, goal-grabbing soccer celebrations’ aimed at the early teen market: at the time of publication, David Seaman was the undisputed number one England keeper and had been appointed captain of the England squad.
	Robbie Fowler Philip Dodd HarperCollins Invincible Press • 1997 • ISBN 0 00 218821 X Another title from the Heroes series, this biography of Robbie Fowler appeared in a year when the young Scouse striker – then playing for his beloved Liverpool – had just overtaken Ian Rush’s 100-goal club record and seemed set for a bright national and international future.
	A-Z Of Street Cred Christy Campbell, Sue Rawkins, Philip Dodd et al. Corgi • 1987 • ISBN 0 7522 6498 2 A fun paperback, created out of a throwaway title idea by Philip Dodd, this book described itself as “a majestic voyage through thirty years of trendiness”, a tongue-in-cheek compilation of fashions, styles and fads from Army Surplus to Zapata moustaches.
	Goodwood Festival Of Speed Various authors • Editorial consultant: Philip Dodd Collins Willow • 2004 • ISBN 0 00 718235 X Every summer the Goodwood Festival of Speed sets pulses soaring and memories flooding back as revered cars, motorbikes, drivers and riders come together to create an extra-ordinary celebration of motorsport.

	Reggae Explosion Chris Salewicz & Adrian Boot• Edited by Philip Dodd Virgin • 2001 • ISBN 0 85227 925 7 Music from Jamaica, pop. 3 million, has had a thoroughly disproportionate effect on the rest of the world.

	Driving Ambition Doug Nye with Ron Dennis and Gordon Murray • Publishing consultant: Philip Dodd Virgin • 1999 • ISBN 1 85227 841 2 The McLaren F1 is a remarkable car.

Ultimate car gets ultimate book.” (Car magazine)
