Mine has just arrived:)

[Sandy]

I think I'll read.

[Debbie]

I think I better be in as I nominated. Should make for a fascinating read.

[Pamela]

Scheduled for delivery next week. Sounds really interesting.

Ordering this one now!

[Sandy]

I just got the book. I also nominated it so felt I should read it.

[Pamela]

Map book has just arrived! Haven't started reading it yet but the illustrations are gorgeous.

[Paul]

Has anyone started this? I read it a couple of months ago

[Pamela]

Just started it Paul. Finding it hard going at the moment - very dense in both style and content - but I think later chapters look a bit more accessible.

[Debbie]

I have read the introduction only so far. I get the feeling this is going to be a slow read.

[Paul]

It is Debbie!

[Pamela]

Finally finished this one. Some chapters I found fascinating, others were hard going.

[Paul]

I did too when I read it Pamela. My review is here. I felt that it read like a academic paper, rather than a general non fiction book

[Pamela]

I agree Paul. This is my review https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
