Cities for a Small Planet - Richard Rogers

Advantages: Fun short story
Disadvantages: small writing

...words so my 3 year old finds it very enjoyable to. This book as with all the others in the collection is laid out in a very easy to follow way with the writing on plain white pages on the left hand side of the page and the illustrations on the right hand side pages. The illustrations are very nice and bright and we have found them to be very useful is showing just how small Mr Small is. The story is only short so can be read in a bout 5 minutes making it an ideal bedtime story. The writing in the book is quite small which discourages my eldest from helping me read the words. INFO The book was written by Roger Hargreaves and published by Egmont UK Limited. The retail price for this book is £1.99 but they can be bought in Wilkinson's for £1.49 and they are still on offer in Morrison's where you can buy 2 books for £2... Read review

After leafing through the front and back cover the afterword,and the small section about the author who is now married I bought it at once.- The author takes your eye because this is Richard Peltzer; the older brother who...

Advantages: Got exerything about the city.
Disadvantages: The maps at the end of the book are not detailed enough to be useful.

.... It's walking tours, all seven of them, are not only very worthwhile (although I personally didn't like the "The World in London Walk" much), but clearly a lot of thought went into planning them (with the possible exception of the one I disliked, which is mostly just a walk in a straight line…). On the other hand, who has ever heard of Columbia Road flower market (ok, so I got lost getting there using the Lonely Planet alone, but London really is a very small city)? Or Leather Lane market, where you can get insanely cheap DVDs? Or how about the hot spots for "A musical journey through London"? If you want a more "off the beaten track" holiday in a track as beaten as London, then you need The Lonely Planet… Besides, where else will you find that you should tip black cabs 10%, but restaurants as much as 15% - no single tip being less...
