This book reproduces the best of the Imperial War Museum's collection of over 30 000 British Government wartime posters & proclamations mostly from the First & Second World Wars & most forgotten after their initial use. 100 eye-catching posters (with 62 perforated & detachable) contain stirring messages that once exhorted citizens to do their bit for the war effort: Eat Greens for Health Beer: A Necessity to the Strength of Britain Fit Men Wanted Victory is in the Kitchen The Supreme Test of British Womanhood Comes Now. Today they seem charmingly innocent quintessentially British & often very funny. The posters that bear them are a treasury of vintage graphics. Like the much-loved Keep Calm & Carry On poster these proclamations are just what we need to keep a stiff upper lip & a sense of humour in our own troubled times. ...

This book supplies the answer to the question: Who has played football for Scotland & cricket for England?" Answer at bottom. Scottish football writer Adam Scott The Independent & Time Out among others has collected together the fruits of a life-long obsession with Fitba (Scottish for football!). Gallimaufry is a noun meaning hotchpotch a jumble or a confused medley. Pronounced galli-may-fri it has its origins in French. The book contains gems like the fact that Bovril traditionally the drink of the terraces was invented by a Scot for Napoleons army. Also that Kilmarnocks most recent claim to fame was winning the Pie of the Year trophy in 1996. (And there is a recipe in the book just in case theyve sold out or someone has eaten them all). & did you know that on the day Arbroath beat Bon Acord 36-0
- which as every schoolboy knows is the highest score in a first class match
- Dundee Harp (a forerunner to the modern Dundee United) battered Aberdeen Rovers 35-0? Dundees captain Tom OKane sent a telegram to his former club Arbroath to gloat about the score little realising what Abroath had done on the same day. This is the ultimate book on Scottish football both for the casual fan & the obsessive. Plus it is a must for compilers of pub quizzes. Answer: Denis Law & Geoff Boycott; Kenny Dalglish & Freddie Flintoff. Read the question again."
