I've just received Rose Collis' New Encyclopaedia of Brighton having thoroughly enjoyed the original 10 years ago.
The new version is an absolute must for any one who loves Brighton & Hove - whether resident or visitor. The author has a keen eye and a sharp wit. I'm only at 'D' and each day I feel inspired to jump on a bus to go see some of the interesting areas she has describes.
10/10 - *****

Having just purchased The NEW Encyclopaedia of Brighton,i must say that i am totally impressed with the wealth of information & unknown facts about my home town that emerged whilst reading this book.
Praise must be heaped on Rose Collins for the amount of research she must have gone through in writing this book. Its a worthy book companion to Tim Carders original masterpiece....

I'd just like to say that although the criticisms of Mr T Harvey are valid, this interesting and informative book is worth more than one star.
I'd also take issue too with some of the photographs, there's one of North St which is used twice and is that really a photo of Martha Gunn who died in 1815?
Nevertheless I recommend this book to anyone interested in B&H.
