Tony Attwood

Tony Attwood (1947- ) wrote on a wide range of topics, including some which overlap or are adjacent to the Asberger's author, Tony Attwood (1952- ), so they need to be disambiguated with care.

To help, here is a list of works from the author's web site:

Education

The Pop Workbook (1987, with Paul Farmer; Edward Arnold)
The Football Workbook (with Paul Farmer; Edward Arnold)
In Concert (Syston Publishing)
The Pop Business (EJ Arnold)

Tony also wrote the musical to the Adrian Mitchell children's musical "Tamburlane the Mad Hen" which was published by Methuen

Trade directories

Hamilton House Publishing developed five trade Directories which were published twice yearly in the 1980s and 1990s

The Radio Advertisers' Guide
The Radio Directory
The TV Directory
The Publishing Directory
The Marketing Directory
This business was then sold on to Professional Books who later sold it to Reed International.

Careerscope

When Hamilton House Publishing was sold it retained two series of books, the Careerscope Series (20 books on varying careers for school leavers, published by Hamilton House Publishing) and the Lifescope series (10 books concerning life after school, for school leavers and their parents.)

Marketing books

Education: The £17bn market (1991, Hamilton House)
Ghengis Khan Meets the Royal Mail (1995, Hamilton House)
Education Marketing (First and Best 2005)
Ghengis Kahn Meets the Royal Mail gained a certain notoriety as the Royal Mail itself demanded itself removal from publication, a reflection perhaps of its monopoly position at the time.

First and Best

Following the sale of Hamilton House Publishing and its titles, Tony set up First and Best Education Ltd with the aim of publishing both his own work aimed at teachers, and that of other writers.

Between the launch of the company in 1983 and its closure in 2015 it published over 1000 titles.
