Recommended Posts

(Edited to add some extras for sale)


Sit back and enjoy an escape through books - ?1 each unless otherwise specified. There are some good books here but I've decided to part with some of my collection. You'll find a mix of fiction (some crime/thriller and modern American and other stuff) and popular(ish) non-fiction.


From travelogues about beer and adventures with a fridge to tales of beauty queens, wise-cracking journalists, dysfunctional families, corrupt cops, politicians, drug-dealers...


Very happy to suggest a book you might enjoy if you want to give something a try but are not sure what might suit.
