.Wannabe a Writer?
City Travel Guides > Books > Reference
by: Jane Wenham-Jones

May 01, 2007
Both wonderfully entertaining and extremely helpful, this book is ideal for all people, from those of us who have just daydreamed about becoming a writer, to those of you who are already well on their way. Well written with an endearing personal touch it was perfect for me, still being at university a book on how to become a writer could easily have terrified me out of the profession forever! This book, however, inspired several of my friends and I to give writing a go. Each chapter is full of useful information sandwiched between Jane's own unpretentious and amusing life experiences as a writer; I would highly recommend it to all!

by: AA Publishing

February 01, 2008
When you find yourself being directed towards motorways that do not exist in you book of maps then you know it is time to buy a new one! The AA Road Atlas does exactly what it says on the cover - super clear mapping. The town plans are useful too.

No excuse for ever getting lost in Spain again.

.Analysing Architecture
City Travel Guides > Books > Reference
by: Simon Unwin

September 25, 2003
I found this book rather unsatisfying. Like so many instructional works in design, the duality of tacit and explicit knowledge was not bridged and again like so many works of this sort it relies upon a rehearsal of historical and contemporary precedents and exemplars to illustrate formal spatial, geometric and structural concepts. Talking about design is not the same as doing it and I did not feel the book helped one to set about tackling a design problem. The many hand drawn illustrations are engaging - the better ones are those that have not been traced or rendered over from photographs.

.McNae's Essential Law for Journalists
City Travel Guides > Books > Reference
from: OUP Oxford

June 21, 2007
As a working journalist, this is the only book I (and every colleague I've ever worked with on any newsdesk) reach for time and time again. Not only is it bang up to date, it explains all aspects of reporting law clearly and succinctly.
Unsure of what libel is? How to defend against it? Are you in contempt of court? Breaching the Official Secrets Act? Taking photographs of children? Invading somebody's privacy? McNae's knows. And it's written in a way to tell you quickly.
It's known as The Bible in the regional newsrooms I've worked in all my life - and it's easy to see why when you read it. I can't recommend this highly enough: EVERY reporter should have their own copy.

.All You Need to Know About the City (All You Need to Know Guides)
City Travel Guides > Books > Reference
by: Christopher Stoakes

2007-02
I now know a lot more about the workings of the City, including how banks really work. This book has also helped me to understand a lot of the jargon in the Financial Times. It's a very enjoyable read - the author uses simple analogies to explain some of the concepts, making it a lot quicker to learn them than from a textbook.
