Nobody chooses to be bald. Nobody wants to look into the mirror and be confronted with an absence. Nobody gains any comfort from having a slightly better idea of what their skull looks like.

Stuart Heritage has been bald for two years. But before he accepted the inevitable, he spent a number of years ineptly trying to conceal this fact with an array of expensive treatments and terrible haircuts. Can a man go bald with dignity? Maybe. But can a man go bald with more dignity than Stuart Heritage? Oh good god yes, and this book is his attempt to make that happen for you.

Part-memoir-part-manual, Stuart brings us a self-deprecating, funny and genuinely helpful guide to being bald: what really happens, why it matters and how to feel much less crap about it.

Stuart Heritage is a writer and columnist for the Guardian, and has also written for Vanity Fair, Esquire, The Times, Men's Health, Elle, Cosmopolitan, Red, Marie Clare and the NME. He has also written for television, and is the author of several books, including Bedtime Stories for Worried Liberals and Don't be a Dick, Pete. For two years running he was named as one of the 50 most influential emerging figures in the British media by Independent, an honour that has singularly failed to manifest itself into anything even slightly meaningful. He is also bald, as you may have deduced by now.

Praise for Bedtime Stories for Worried Liberals * : * Laugh-out-loud * i Paper * No one writes about the incidentals and the characteristics of British life better than Stuart Heritage -- Dolly Alderton The funniest book I've read this year ... Superb -- Will Storr Praise for Don't Be a Dick, Pete * : * Really funny and crazy -- Bob Odenkirk Almost unfairly funny -- Hadley Freeman I loved it so much I read it in one fell swoop. Fantatically funny but also so touching -- India Knight The funniest book of the year -- Cosmopolitan Hilarious ... a touching take on modern masculinity and family * Grazia * This is (very, very) funny, but it's also a story about brothers and families and home, and it's as warm as it is rude * Stylist *
