1.		The Big Book of "Top Gear" 2009 from BBC Books Price: £4.99 Customer Review: I bought the Big Book of Top Gear 2009 but returned it immediately as it is far too childish. It is a bit like buying a comic book for kids. Very disappointing. I'm giving it one star just because it's nearly Christmas.	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

2.		The QI Annual 2009 (Annual) from Faber and Faber Price: £6.49 Customer Review: I love buying these kinds of books for presents - you can read them first before wrapping-up! I bought this along with a Joined-Up Thinking by Colgan (Stephen Fry gave a quote on the front cover) and both books entertained me hugely on these cold, wet, darker days. great stuff.

3.		QI: The Book of General Ignorance from Faber and Faber Price: £4.76 Customer Review: I really enjoyed reading this book and found it more than "Quite Interesting". Unfortunately though, if you are an avid fan of the television series like I am it offers nothing new. Most, if not all, of the material is taken from the series.

4.		I Before E (Except After C): Old-School Ways to Remember Stuff from Michael O'Mara Books Ltd Price: £4.99 Customer Review: This is a little gem of a book; I bought it thinking it would give me helpful ways of knowing and remembering more about grammar - but it's so much more than this. The whole book is about mnemonics and rhymes as memory aids, grouped into 17 themed categories as listed in the contents... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

5.		The Dangerous Book for Boys from HarperCollins Publishers Ltd Price: £10.00 Customer Review: I wish I had this book when I was a boy it brings back so many memories of things I tried to do (and nearly aways failed). Catapult making,go-cart making,first aid and girls all things that I sadly lacked the necessary skills in, not for the lack of trying I hasten to add.This book would have tipped... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

6.		Schott's Almanac 2009 from Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Price: £9.49 Customer Review: With a cut-off date of mid-September, the 2009 edition (which is really September 2007 to September 2008) misses the financial market collapse and the election of Barack Obama, for which we will have to wait for the 2010 edition. Nevertheless, as in previous years the 2009 edition is well worth... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

7.		Homework for Grown-ups: Everything You Learnt at School... and Promptly Forgot from Square Peg Price: £7.49 Customer Review: I found this book to be very useful as it does what the title says and helps many of us older generation to remember what we used to learn at school but have since forgot (at last this saves a lot of embarassment with the younger generation).

8.		I Never Knew That About London from Ebury Press Price: £6.99 Customer Review: This is an excellent 'by the bed' book for dipping in and out of. Each section has a generous selection of interesting gems and more bizarre nuggets about the capital that will make any reader an instant London Bore or a valued member of any pub-quiz team (admittedly only for the London questions!).... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

9.		Collins Scrabble Dictionary from Collins Price: £3.49 Customer Review: Most things have been covered in other reviews here, but I ought to add that if like me, your Scrabble games are punctuated with 'debates' (ok - arguments) about the validity of words, this will change your Scrabble-playing life! There are older editions available too, under the name OSW... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information
