61.North and South (Penguin Classics) by: Elizabeth Gaskell January 25, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £7.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £5.59 You Save: £2.40 (30%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £0.95
I like this book but have to say i thought it would be alot better...it is the tale of the contrast between the country and the city and two characters caught up in that...and it is very good, but quite stretched for such a big book and i just found it a bit of a tug sometimes to get through...and the "I don't love you"..oh hang on..."i love you lots now" thing was a bit vexing Very good but there are better books in my opinion..but i would recommend it, just not as highly as others

62.Going Dutch: How England Plundered Holland's Glory by: Lisa Jardine April 01, 2008

I really loved Lisa Jardine's 'Going Dutch'. Compelling, thought-provoking and meticulously researched, this is a fascinating study of a larger culture that connected England and Holland in the seventeenth century. Beautifully written and beautifully illustrated, I was completely captivated.

63.West Country Cruising Companion (Wiley Nautical) by: Mark Fishwick April 09, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £24.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £17.49 You Save: £7.50 (30%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £14.82
We have very much enjoyed this West Country pilot which gives good detail for pilotage as well as well written and interesting details of localities. Should definetly be on anyone's 'buy' list if cruising the west Country.

64.Good Evening, Mrs Craven: The Wartime Stories of Mollie Panter-Donnes (Persephone Classics) by: Mollie Panter-Downes April 24, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £9.00 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £8.49 You Save: £0.51 ( 6%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £3.84
Mollie Panter-Downes takes a wonderfully penetrating look at how World War II affects the daily lives of families, wives, and veterans. She paints a nostalgic picture of these very 'English' lives, yet does not shy away from the harsh realities the conflict produced for those left at home. The title story is particularly moving in its potrayal of Mr.Craven's mistress 'Mrs. Craven'. This middle-aged spinster's deep loneliness and anguish when her companion has gone to fight and his regular letters suddenly cease, touches at the heart of human suffering. From the five Persephone books I have read, this stands out as a favourite.

66.The Rough Guide to England (Rough Guide Travel Guides) by: Robert Andrews, Jules Brown, Phil Lee, Rob Humphreys May 01, 2008

Trendy guide trying to be clever and get some blatant free publicity by unjustifiably damning some beautiful parts of Britain. I suspect the dismissive authors haven't even been to some of these places - the guide reads almost as if the authors have just gone onto Wikipedia! Avoid at all costs.

67.The Life and Death of Anne Boleyn: The Most Happy by: Eric Ives July 10, 2005
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £14.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £14.24 You Save: £0.75 ( 5%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £12.78
This highly informative account of Anne Boleyn brings to life a Tudor woman once seen as elusive and obscure. Due to the high volume of biased primary accounts of Anne Boleyn written by the likes of Chapuys (the Spanish ambassador to England at the time) and others, it has been notoriously difficult to make an objective and impartial assessment of Anne Boleyn however Ives succeeds in bringing the true character of Anne Boleyn to life using a variety of sources, challenges biased accounts of Anne's life (such as Chapuys' accounts of the ailing marriage) and also presents compelling evidence to support his assertions, such as the controversy surrounding Anne's birth date. Whilst at times, Ives presents the not so endearing qualities of Anne ... Read More:

68.The Lore of the Land: A Guide to England's Legends, from Spring-heeled Jack to the Witches of Warboys by: Jennifer Westwood, Jacqueline Simpson September 28, 2006
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: £9.60
Peppered with inaccuracies throughout, the entry on Highgate Cemetery serves as a pointer to just how poor the "scholarship" is in Lore of the Land. The task befell Jacqueline Simpson to provide the entry on London's most famous graveyard which included more than a passing reference to its vampire. Simpson, according to Oxford University's Library Journal, is "an esteemed British folklore expert." This makes her coverage of the case of even greater concern. "When the apparition was first discussed in the local press in 1970, it was merely called a ghost," she begins. It was called all manner of things when first discussed, but was already being described as a vampire locally; even from as early as 1965. What Simpson is alluding to is ... Read More:

69.Pubs and Inns of England and Wales (Alastair Sawday's Special Places to Stay) by: Alastair Sawday May 01, 2008

70.The Southern Fells (Pictorial Guides to the Lakeland Fells) by: A. Wainwright September 14, 2007
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £12.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £8.99 You Save: £4.00 (31%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £7.88
This is an astonishingly good revision of the classic guide, which I have used for many years. If you're going to use it 'in anger' it's to be preferred to the original edition. In a sense, Chris Jesty does himself an injustice, because his new material is spliced in so incredibly well with Wainwright's, both in style and in lettering, that it's often only when you look at the original that you realise that it actually is new material. Also, the quality of the reproduction is excellent - better, as far as I can see, than that of the later printings of the first edition The same comments apply to the revised 'Central Fells', and, on the strength of these excellent volumes, I have ordered the other two.
