32.Tunnels, Towers and Temples: London's 100 Strangest Places by: David Long April 19, 2007

Sequels aren't meant to be as good as the original, are they, but having enjoyed David Long's SPECTACULAR VERNACULAR last year I had to have this one, and I'm not disappointed. Far from it. In fact for anyone bored with all those London books which just go over the same old ground again (Tower of London, yawn) these two books have been a revelation to me. Packed full of places and buildings most of us don't even notice, and with every one photographed and explored by an author with a real talent for the subject, they're original, funny, and above all fascinating in terms of the detail, the history and the personalities they describe and which together make London what it is today.

33.The Call of the Weird: Travels in American Subcultures by: Louis Theroux July 07, 2006
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £7.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £5.19 You Save: £2.80 (35%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £0.34
There are some great features to Amazon: competitive prices, the chance to browse for a vast selection of books at any hour of the day, generally good service. Here is a bad thing: judging a book by its cover (or the reputation of the author). I bought this because I have enjoyed some of Theroux's TV programmes and it sounded a bit different. Theroux's plan is to revisit subjects he had met during the making of a TV series on weird Americans and see how they have changed in the intervening few years. The problem is that it doesn't quite work and I think Theroux realises that quite quickly. The writing is engaging and honest but it's partly a story of tracking the people down and partly a story about what they said when he found ... Read More:

34.AA Close-up Truckers Atlas Britain (AA Atlases) by: AA Publishing March 31, 2007
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £20.00 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £13.00 You Save: £7.00 (35%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £11.37
I'm not a trucker, but I bought this atlas, and I rate it highly. The reason? The large scale, which makes it very easy to plan trips, whether for business or pleasure. Even the smallest minor road is visible, and showing the contours of the land is a nice bonus. It is also useful to know where petrol stations are: we tend to take holidays in fairly remote spots. Okay, I am never going to need the low bridge information, but it's still the best road atlas out there.

35."Time Out" New York (Time Out New York) by: Time Out Guides Ltd January 03, 2008

36.Notes from a Big Country by: Bill Bryson September 16, 1999
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: £0.01
This is guaranteed to put a smile on virtually anyone's face. Bryson's dry humour & witty observations of life's absurdity coupled with Kerry Shale's excellent delivery make this an easy winner. The basic material is also very interesting so a wining combination all round. I had this in the car & found myself sitting listening to it long after I had arrived at my destination - it's that good!

I think you either dig Bryson or you don't. This was the second book of his I read (first was Neither Here nor There). A year or so after I read the book I got this (on tape) to hear on holiday, and began listening in the departure lounge at LHR. Basically my wife had to virtually throw a fire-bucket over me since I was apparently making a spectacle of myself. Kerry Shale's rapid-fire delivery really makes this a great (if exhausting) listen. Even though I've heard it many times (and have attempted to mimic parts of it to friends a thousand times) I still don't get tired of hearing it. If the weather's crap and there's nothing on TV this is hard to beat for sheer pants-wettingly funny listening. The best bits are Kerry Shale's take on the Southern accent: ... Read More:
