The Big Book of "Top Gear" 2009

New And Used From £4.10

Review: I bought this for my 12-year-old son and he loved it. If you're looking for serious car reviews (or serious material of any kind) you will be sadly disappointed - this book definitely focuses on the laddish and jokey elements of the show, and if you like those, you....

Guinness World Records 2009

New And Used From £6.75

Review: Well what can I say? It's just another Guiness World Record book no different to all the other years. There is no mistaking that it is a funny book to read as I have found in all of the GWR books, half of their content is stupid records like: the heaviest weight he....

Stephen Fry in America

New And Used From £4.87

Review: Visiting and observing every state in America is no doubt a mammoth task, but Stephen Fry has done the best job possible. The photos are brilliant, the encounters are interesting and what I really love, is that this is in no way a travel guide. Obvious tourist hot ....

Review: I literally couldn't put this book down once I'd begun, thank you Santa. I agree with the previous comments that to someone already skilled in the arts of jam making and knitting this book might seem to be stating the obvious, however, I'm in my early twenties and ....

QI: The Book of General Ignorance

New And Used From £2.50

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.....

The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable

New And Used From £4.50

Review: Not good: will I finish it? Won't I? Guess I'll have to if I want to assess fairly, but it'll be hard work. Arrogance seeps through every word and, at the end of the day, he's repeatedly hammering home one point that anyone with a degree of critical thinking will b....
