1.The English: A Portrait of a People by: Jeremy Paxman September 06, 2007
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £9.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £6.49 You Save: £3.50 (35%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £4.92
Paxo writes well and is a joy to read. This book is far ranging on who we English are, our strange national characteristics which relate to our history. "Like a pair of newly-weds in a sabotaged car, every people sets off into the future clattering behind it the tin-cans of its history." Here are many tin cans and some glimpses too of the possible road ahead. I would recommend this book to visitors to our country. The only slight draw back is that reading it ten years after it was written I sense it is slightly dated. It predates 9-11, the rise of Islamic militancy and a new huge wave of immigration, to say nothing of the effects of devolution and the rise of Scottish nationalism. All these are now having an effect on what it means to be English ... Read More:

2.The Political Animal: An Anatomy by: Jeremy Paxman September 06, 2007

This is one of the most depressing political books ever, essentially becoming a politician is a huge waste of time which will in all likelihood be a failure and will screw up ones family life. Makes you wonder why they didn't become TV presenters instead. Some of the anecdotes are fairly amusing, but the overall tone is that the political class is something pitiful to behold.

4.On Royalty by: Jeremy Paxman September 06, 2007
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £8.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £6.99 You Save: £2.00 (22%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £1.11
A perceptive and highly readable account of royalty in all its forms, inevitably concentrating on the House of Windsor but with amusing and informative diversions elsewhere. As one would expect of Jeremy Paxman, this book is written with a cynical edge, but is careful to maintain some sense of balance and not descend into the sneering republican rant that I'd feared a book about royalty by someone like Paxman would be.

5.Fish, Fishing and the Meaning of Life by: Jeremy Paxman November 02, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £10.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £7.69 You Save: £3.30 (30%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £0.69
At first I thought this book would be about Paxmans fishing exploits but it is an anthology of some classic writings on fishing, each chapter introduced with the usual Paxman style. The tales of Irish Pike legends, whaling, tales of fishing inn's and of the live frog baits used by an American Doctor, (just during July and delivered to his door in the morning in a box), counjour up the variety and esscence of why people, though primarily men, fish. It is not easily explained particularly to a non-angling wife. A great little book that will take a long time to read and re-read or fit in your fishing bag. It realy is worth two or three times the price and Paxman has done a great service to fishermen everywhere in the great amount of research that has gone in to the ... Read More:

Difficult subject to tackle without resorting to speculation and fancy conspiracy theories. Paxman has done a very good job, with both feet on the ground. Well done!

10.A Higher Form of Killing: Secret Story of Gas and Germ Warfare by: Robert Harris, Jeremy Paxman 1982-03
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £3.95
An extremely interesting and descriptive books on the development of chemical & biological warfare, which underlines the horrors of NBC. I purchased it to assist in my research on the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich, and whilst this aspect only covered a few pages, the rest of the book is fascinating. A very worthwhile purchase.
