1.		Sissinghurst: An Unfinished History from HarperPress Price: £10.00 Customer Review: As a great collector of all things Vita Sackville-West, Harold Nicolson and Sissinghurst, I leapt on this book as it appeared. But did I really need it? Surely I have read everything printed about Sissinghurst, Vita and Harold, and visited the garden twice, what could it give me? Well for a start... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

2.		Round About a Pound a Week from Persephone Books Ltd Price: £11.40 Customer Review: This is a fascinating - and very readable - study of how the vast majority of the population had to struggle, and not even all that long ago. Because Round About £1 A Week was all they had to manage on.

3.		The Edwardians: Biography of the Edwardian Age from Abacus Price: £6.99 Customer Review: The Edwardian era was one of the most fascinating periods in British history, an age of superlatives. 'Society' was at its glittering zenith and politics at its most contentious. Even the politicians were of a calibre almost incredible to jaded modern eyes. Yet the dazzle of diamonds and thunder of... more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

4.		Lost Voices of the Edwardians: 1901-1910 in Their Own Words from HarperPerennial Price: £6.99 Customer Review: Max Arthur's book is up to his usual standard. In their own words, the joys fears and pains of ordinary people. Far from those history books which talk only of Kings and battles and court intrigues, this history brings to life the period.

6.		The 1910s Scrapbook: The Decade of the Great War (Scrapbook) from New Cavendish Books Price: £14.20 Customer Review: I haven't enjoyed a picture book so much in ages.

Eyewitness the 1900s: Authentic Voices of the 20th Century (BBC Eyewitness) by Eyewitness Price: £5.40 Customer Review: I listen to a lot of audiobooks, mostly they are my entertainment in the car and I drive a lot of work. When I discovered this new series from the BBC I thought that it looked interesting, and what an understatment that is.

Politics without Democracy: England, 1815-1918 (Blackwell Classic Histories of England) from WileyBlackwell Price: £19.94 Customer Review: Michael Bentley, one of the champions of the 'high-politcal' school of thought, here wrote one of his most lasting books.
