Henry: Virtuous Prince from HarperPress Price: £12.50 Customer Review: I was really looking forwards to this book, I am an avid reader of anything to do with Tudor history and the wars of the roses and as there is relatively little written on the early years of Henry VIII I was keen to discover more about his personality, his friendships, his marriage, his life and... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

12.		The Age of Wonder: How the Romantic Generation Discovered the Beauty and Terror of Science from HarperPress Price: £12.49 Customer Review: This reviewer found this work to be an altogether fascinating book, scanning and encompassing a myriad of topics and even ideas "heterogeneously yoked by violence together", cemented through the sheer quality and vivacity of the author's writing merits.

13.		Things Ain't What They Used to be from Sphere Price: £9.50 Customer Review: Very enjoyable book, easy to pick up during your lunch breaks, allowing you to look at the 70's in rose tinted glasses. As someone born in '69 I could relate to most of the things in the book, but I do wish that they included Photos. This would have made a good book, fantastic.

16.		The Secret Life of Words: How English Became English from John Murray Price: £11.04 Customer Review: Has a comprehensive bibliography for future research, and two sets of indicies so can be used as a text book.
