Not sure Waterstones are.much better, owned by US Hedge. Fund with various Bermuda and Cayman holding companies. See if there is a local independent bookseller you can support. At least you can browse the books in Waterstones so I guess it's one step up on Amazon.

I like this company for books.

Most of mine come from WOB or Abe. I rarely buy books new.

"Exactly" is an excellent and entertaining read, well worth anyone's getting hold of.

His trip to Seiko is interesting, and I must admit I found it funny when he said the Seiko people laughed at him when he suggested they swap his Rolex for a Grand Seiko.

Next on the list - Why We Get The Wrong Politicians by Isobel Hardman, then on to Stuff Matters. Hitch 22 is worth reading for Christopher Hitchens fans.

Yup. The Seiko visit is good...!

I'd recommend his other books, esp - Atlantic, Krakatoa - fascinating because he draws a lot of threads together and places it within the timescale.

Sorry no, does that sort of hair breath or is it a hare ?

*hair’s breadth (the width of a human hair)

Nothing to do with breathing
