This handsomely produced volume is the sort of book which would not be nearly as appealing in an ebook edition. It is a marvellously entertaining jumble of history, literary quotations, factual information, personal anecdotes by the authors and even recipes. Although written in a breezily conversational style the content is clearly the result of much solid research by quite a few people (all duly acknowledged). Much more fun to read at breakfast than the morning newspaper!
