I bought this book as I planned my first trip to England. Given the rumors of the awful cooking in Great Britain, I thought a humorous look at it could prepare me for the worst. This book contains such a miscellany of information, history and trivia, that to call it a book about food does it a disservice.

Bookish Quotes

"The truth is that even big collections of ordinary books distort space, as can readily be proved by anyone who has been around a really old-fashioned secondhand bookshop, one that looks as though they were designed by M. Escher on a bad day and has more stairways than storeys and those rows of shelves which end in little doors that are surely too small for a full-sized human to enter. The relevant equation is: Knowledge = power = energy = matter = mass; a good bookshop is just a genteel Black Hole that knows how to read. "

- Terry Pratchett
