1.		The Suspicions of Mr. Whicher from Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Price: £5.99 Customer Review: I eagerly awaited the arrival of this book..... and then struggled to make myself finish it. The facts of the case of interesting but the book is massively padded out with all manner of facts on victorian life and morals which I found very boring and tedious. I thought I had bought a... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

2.		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

3.		I Never Knew That About England from Ebury Press Price: £12.00 Customer Review: Along with G Meehan I find the errors irritating having found two more in the first 24 pages. One is often repeated and may be considered trivial by many - the line from Gray's Elegy (page 18) The lowing herd winds slowly o'er the lea, True, several websites print this version but... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

4.		London: The Biography from Vintage Price: £7.49 Customer Review: As a life long Londoner and a person well read in history this book was just up my street.

6.		Thames: Sacred River from Vintage Price: £7.49 Customer Review: I can't comment on the book since I returned it immediately. Amazon must have had this lying around in a filthy warehouse: it arrived filthy with top and bottom spine well bashed and the wrap-around (with the boat drawing) well worn. All credit to Amazon though that their returns process is... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

7.		The London Encyclopaedia from Macmillan Price: £32.50 Customer Review: The old 'Weinreb' was the best single-volume reference book on London, despite a few minor but still niggling errors. Happily most of these have been pulled out, the book's been expanded with more entries and even better illustration, and I had no hesitation whatever in grabbing a copy as soon as it... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

8.		Derelict London from Random House Books Price: £6.49 Customer Review: Loved this! A great reference to parts of London we see every day, but ignore so easily. One of the buildings I walk past going to work every day is in here, and I look at it now, and soak in the History. This is a great little book, if you love London and its history, you will really... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information
