Good stuff.

A good friend gave me a copy of this book and, as usual, his taste in books was spot on. About half way through and so far it's a proving to be an interesting subject and is well written.
We read a few chapters from this for Montserrat. It was really interesting.
Stunning book. One of my favourites this year for sure.
