  • 1891 August Weather

    August, 1891 : A Remarkably Wet Month, With Very Little Sunshine.

    When is a book not a book? When it’s a manuscript! The book fairs have started again and at the very first one I bought a wonderful leather-bound notebook with a record for the weather on every single day between…

  • Progressive Politics; or, The Labour Party in 1895.

    24th February 2017

    It’s not all frivolous stuff here you know. Today’s book is incredibly important. It’s the first ever Labour Annual, subtitled ‘A Year Book of Industrial Progress and Social Welfare.’ It is a very early account of the gradual consolidation of…

  • Theme of The Crime; or, Murder Goes To School.

  • The Daily Mail Cookery Book; or, Add Quip To Taste.

    21st February 2017

    Oh dear. Look what’s on the menu today. Bile, with a soupçon of snide racism. A healthy dash of red-faced outrage to go with your hypocrisy; a double helping of standards, lashings of lashings…Mmmm. Give it all a good stir….

  • Warwici Inhabitatus; or, The Saxton Map Of Warwickshire

    20th February 2017

    Are you on the map? This one of Warwickshire dates from 1607 and my photo shows the traditional centre of England, Meriden, apparently now usurped by a field in Leicestershire. Damn computers. The map was published originally in 1579 by Christopher…

  • Kiss The Book; or, Not a Bibliomystery.

    14th February 2017

    Valentine’s Day! Time to kiss the one we love – in my case, a book. And what a great title for a book lover. I couldn’t wait to read it. A mysterious bible that curs’d the lips that touched it?…
