1.The Story of Britain: A People s HistoryThe Story of Britain: A People's History
from Random House UK
Price: $38.96

Customer Review:
This book definitely has some points in its favor; it's very well-illustrated, fairly comprehensive and readable. However, it also has its flaws.

2.Gardens of the National TrustGardens of the National Trust
from Anova Books
Price: $35.00

Customer Review:
This is a good book to read before your trip & decide where to go, much too big to travel with. Well written, informative, but could use a few more photos-these are gardens after all.

Price: $45.50

Customer Review:
Nice book, but lacks plans how to build some simple engines. Great info, and history, but I wanted one with complete plans for a solar Sterling and plans on a larger functional sterling in detail. This book is for a great introduction into the hot air engines. I would recomend it for an introduction... more info

from For Dummies
Price: $19.79

Customer Review:
I was hoping that this book would give me a solid introduction to home improvement but it really didn't deliver. The information presented tended to be either too brief or assumed a lot of proir knowledge, which is inappropriate in a book with "for Dummies!" in the title. There were some good tips... more info

from Random House UK
Price: $19.00

Customer Review:
I really liked this book! I enjoy reading about and researching the Tudors (by researching, I mean reading existing research). I have a book "All the Queen's Men: Elizabeth and her Courtiers" by Neville Williams. I loved the reproductions of paintings in that book, and so tracked down "Gloriana" to... more info

This book brought to life the succession of historical movements in the church- political, liturgical, theological- and how they shaped the way churches looked and functioned. I found this book a delightfully easy read with lots of helpful pictures and diagrams. I bought several additional copies... more info

I grew to love this book more as I read each entry. Sir Roy Strong writes of all sorts of everyday things and each is interesting. I found I wanted to write down some of them to share with friends.
