1.		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

2.		Our Times from Hutchinson Price: £15.00 Customer Review: What you would expect from A N Wilson, an easy and sometimes humorous read of happenings of "Our Times" All history is written from a biased view (and Wilson is no exception), would you expect a protestant historian to write on the Reformation in the same vein as a catholic writer? more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

3.		Gordon is a Moron: The Definitive and Objective Analysis of Gordon Brown's Decade as Chancellor of the Exchequer from Blue Books Price: £9.49 Customer Review: I am currently studying this title and although I agree largely with Vernon's views I find his attitude to nurses incredibly patronising (and given the list of things the man hates...."pomposity", etc) rather surprising. Although the man was a Doctor so perhaps I shouldn't be so surprised at all.more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

4.		A History of Modern Britain from Macmillan Customer Review: This is an interesting and readable history of our country since the Second World War marred (pun intended) by a liberal/left-wing bias. Andrew Marr deals with a number of topics and this book is neither political nor social history but contains bits of each and more. Much of the book is a... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

5.		Prezza: My Story: Pulling No Punches from Headline Review Price: £11.44 Customer Review: I always had a sneaking regard for Prescott, yes he came across sometimes as a bit of a maverick but it made for a refreshing contrast to other politicians. Oh how one book can change your opinion of a man! To be blunt this is not just a poor political biography but a very poor book all round -... more info	Customer Rating: 2.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

6.		What's in the Queen's Handbag: And Other Royal Secrets from Book Guild Ltd Price: £6.99 Customer Review: Nice anthology of curiosities and anecdotes about the Queen and her family, very readable and funny. You'll learn about the beloved corgies, food and drink, cars and driving habits, horses and the Windsors' Christmas. There are also some hilarious drawings at the beginning of each chapter. I... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

7.		More Time for Politics: Diaries 2001-2007 from Arrow Books Ltd Price: £6.29 Customer Review: I won't say much, as if you are looking at buying this book you will probably have some idea of who this guy is and what he represents. I found this book touching, fascinating and terrifying. The wool really has been pulled over our eyes and many of our civil liberties taken away from us in the... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

8.		Zara Phillips: A Revealing Portrait of a Royal World Champion from Virgin Books Price: £6.99 Customer Review: This book glossed over Zara's eventing career, preferring to focus on her relationships with the rest of the royal family and how this has shaped her life. To be honest there is probably less than a chapter's worth about her riding and fantastic partnership with Toytown which is a real shame.... more info	Customer Rating: 1.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

9.		Austerity Britain: Smoke in the Valley (Tales of a New Jerusalem 2) from Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Price: £5.19 Customer Review: David Kynaston's Austerity Britain books offer valuable social history and a timely reminder of mistakes that are made in the past can be repeated in the future. Unlike, say, Dominic Sandbrook's 1960s books, AB focuses a little more on the industrial side of Britain, the trade unionists and... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

10.		William and Harry: The People's Princes from Carlton Books Ltd Price: £8.00 Customer Review: Ingrid Seward is one of the most famous royal biographer. All her books are written with deep inside, understanding, passion and loyalty. She understands the ins and outs of royal life and is able to transmit this to her readers. This book is no exception from this rule. So one learns and awful... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information
