BKB Verlag’s guide to Bonn is specially designed for business trips & short trips, aiming to show you the best of the city in just 3 days. Pocket-sized & printed with full-colour photos, the guide is organised into 4 sections, one for each day plus a final chapter on ‘services’. Each day section has been arranged like a diary, so that the sights are described in the order of a potential itinerary, helping you get the most out of what you see. A small map proceeds each day, showing the recommended route to take for the sights within the chapter. The maps themselves are very basic, & would be better used as a general overview of the area. The final section is over 20 pages of listings & descriptions of cafes, restaurants, local culture, hotels, museums, nightlife, shopping & more. ...

` Looks like not many tourists visit St Pierre et Miquelon, ` I mutter excitedly to Pip. ` That is why this trip is going to be so brilliant.` He looks at me questioningly. I am distracted by Gabriel`s unusually pallid face. ` Oh my God, he`s going to be sick.` Rosie set out on a tour of the French Overseas Departments & Territories (the ` Dom- Toms`) with her husband & four young children, partly to make a documentary series but also to show the children it is possible to survive fourteen weeks without Hannah Montana. From Martinique to Reunion, crossing five continents, they eat stewed iguana, 400 croissants &

Quirky & humorous, part poetry, part reflection, this is the story of the book told by none other than Book himself! This extraordinary character begins by reminding us of his origins in oral story & clay tablets, then ponders on papyrus, parchment & paper, & on being a scroll who finally gets a spine. We see him lovingly illuminated by monks in medieval monasteries, then witness the massive changes brought about by the invention of the printing press, & the coming of paperbacks & e-books in the 20th century. But Book`s not a straightforwardly chronological chap; he can`t help musing
- & his musings, whether they`re on the evolution of the alphabet, libraries, book-burning or blurbs, are delightful & thought-provoking. Years of reflection & observation have gone into this charming title
- John Agard signed the contract with Walker 16 years ago!
