The "Times" History of London (Times (Times Books)) from Times Books Price: £17.50 Customer Review: Not just history, but the importance of London's geography in its growth as the leading world city.

Michelin Historical Map 102: : Battle of Normandy (Michelin Historical Maps) from Michelin Maps Price: £3.49 Customer Review: I went on a battlefield tour of the D-Day landing beaches and the Normandy campaign, and found this fantastically useful.
