3.5 stars.

Some interesting theories, but nothing I haven't read elsewhere.

There's a line on page 80 though that grinds on my nerves. It mentions Persuasion by Jane Austen (I love Persuasion... a lot.) saying: "There is no problem in pointing out the place on the Cobb at Lyme Regis where Laura Musgrave fell." Her name is Louisa Musgrove. Probably the stupidest thing to get picky over by oh my god did I throw a tiny hissy fit. Haha.

Thorough overview to heritage management practices in the UK. A little out of date now, but that's to be expected in an area which is so impacted by government policy changes.
