Review of Paul Eddington's autobiography
Just posted a review of 'So Far, So Good', the wonderful autobiography by Paul Eddington, the actor famous for playing Jerry in BBC comedy 'The Good Life' and Jim Hacker in 'Yes Minister'.
It's a great book.

Scotland's Forgotten Past: A History of the Mislaid, Misplaced and Misunderstood:
"A whistlestop tour through Scottish history, sometimes fun, sometimes furious, and focused at all times on the twists of fate and oddities of happenstance that have conspired across the country to make the country the inimitable place it is."
