1.		An Utterly Impartial History of Britain: (or 2000 Years of Upper Class Idiots in Charge) from Black Swan Price: £3.86 Customer Review: Though it claims to be witty, I'm afraid I can't add to the glowing reports of this book. This is not to say that it is an awful book, merely that I found it hard to engage with the style of John O'Farrell. The reading is light and is a good a book to snuggle up in bed with as any, but I... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

2.		The Blair Years from Arrow Books Ltd Price: £6.07 Customer Review: Campbell has a sharp eye for personal description and these pull the reader through the book, they are funny and rude. He has no confidence in the abilities of MPs and Cabinet Ministers. Sadly neither Blair nor Campbell were able to encourage the abilities of those who could have been working with... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

3.		Austerity Britain, 1945-1951 (Tales of a New Jerusalem) from Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Price: £5.99 Customer Review: No-one could fault the time and effort that have gone into producing this extensive work but the sheer volume of facts, figures and comments might well prove mind-numbing to the average reader and certainly led to me - who can just remember the period in question - losing interest and scanning... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

5.		Having it So Good: Britain in the Fifties from Penguin Price: £6.99 Customer Review: This an excellent reminder of life when I moved on from primary school through secondary school years in Leicester. I've said it's slow going because the print size is so small and I can only make progress in good light next to a window..........!	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

6.		My Trade: A Short History of British Journalism from Pan Books Price: £6.99 Customer Review: Andrew Marr has a wide range of experience of all aspects of British journalism from working on the Scotsman to becoming editor of the Independent and later political editor at the BBC.

7.		William Wilberforce: The Life of the Great Anti-Slave Trade Campaigner from HarperPerennial Price: £5.92 Customer Review: Some time ago I heard William Hague lecture on Wilberforce. It was a pleasure to hear such a fine speaker so on top of his subject. The lecture lasted an hour but could have gone on for three as far as I was concerned, it was so interesting. The same is true of the book. It is written by a political... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

8.		I Used to Know That: Stuff You Forgot from School from Michael O'Mara Books Price: £5.99 Customer Review: This book is split into chapters based on the traditional school subjects, such as geography, history, maths, and then within each chapter split into 'typical things we were taught', ranging from the list of British kings to trigonometry to Charles Dickens. There are certain chapters you'll... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

9.		Shakespeare: The World as a Stage (Eminent Lives) from HarperPerennial Price: £3.99 Customer Review: I really enjoyed this book. It was a quick and easy read, admittedly, but it does not bill itself as a Shakepeare textbook or biography and would be a different animal if it was. If you take it at face value, it's a fun read, helped along by Bryson's amusing style.	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

10.		Britain From Above from Pavilion Price: £11.25 Customer Review: I bought Britain From Above as a present and what a success! The whole family were enthralled. Amazing and unique photography alongside interesting commentary make this book a real showpiece and a good addition to any coffee table. I think I might have to buy a copy for myself!
