2.0 out of 5 stars Oh Dear!, 14 Oct 2011
I have bought the Good Pub Guide for years - but this year may be the last.Poorly laid out, more difficult to use, and they are charging main entries to be in it.It is disappointing that changes have not been properly thought through - it has certainly lost its appeal to me.
Harold Gimblett: Tormented Genius of Cricket by David Foot
5 of 5 people found the following review helpful
David Foot is an excellent writer, and in my view he's never been better than in this high class biography of Harold Gimblett. One of John Arlott's great cricket stories told how the young Gimblett was called up from village cricket to make his debut for Somerset, and scored an amazing century.David Foot's wonderful biography loses nothing in comparison, explaining how the boy from Bicknoller became an England player,and how his mental struggles affected him both throughout his career and beyond. A book to savour.
