This book is a joy - light hearted and informative - filled with quickly illustrations and enticing facts. Various main sections cover the key regions of the UK, with follow on sections for 'Coast and Islands', 'Watery Bits' as well as the more mundane 'Cities'. The section on 'Landmarks' lists the main landscape phenomena in each county - as good for inspiring a day out as for showing off your geography: 'Bell Rock', 'Skye Bridge', and 'Ailsa Crag' all sounds rather intriguing. The pub quiz section is very satisfying, especially if you have always preferred the blue pieces in Trivial Pursuit, or just like an excuse to drink beer. Finally there is a lexicon of odd geographer's words, which will help you pass yourself off as a boffin.
