'Oh the exotic, dramatic romance of it all. Santa Montefiore writes with true style and passion, her characters overflowing with emotion, her plots thick with intrigue and betrayal. Ladies, take the phone off the hook and settle down with 400 pages of blissful escapism.' (Shari Low, Scottish Daily Record ) 'Enough bedroom bangs to keep the pulse racing.' (New Woman ) 'Santa Montefiore's world of Italian peasants and partisans, Nazis and aristocrats is flamboyant and suspenseful. Anyone who likes Joanna Harris or Mary Wesley will love Montefiore's atmospheric sixth romance.' ( Mail on Sunday ) ... less

Bad Whisky: The Scandal That Created the World's Most Successful Spirit - Edward Burns

This is the new edition of a cult classic released at a time when the industry is once more addressing the problem of defining what constitutes Scotch whisky. This is a unique insight into the Victorian scandal which raged at the end of the 19th century surrounding the adulteration of whisky in public houses throughout the UK. Returning to contemporary press reports and Hansard, Edward Burns masterfully unravels the scandal which eventually resulted in laws being passed which created safeguards for what is now known the world over as Scotch. In 1872 Scotland's spirituous reputation as a purveyor of fine Scotch whisky was shattered when it was discovered that some public house whisky contained poison. The extent of adulteration was widespread with additives such as meths, shellac gum, sulphuric acid, and boot polish all being used to pass off spirits as 'Scotch whisky'. The North British Daily Mail took up the fight against the practice when, out of 30 samples of 'whisky' taken out of public houses, only two were found to be the real thing. With some of the most prominent figures in Scottish public life joining the fray, the battle was on to clear up Scotch. Set against a worldwide background of gross food and drink adulteration that saw the poorer classes slowly poisoned by what they ingested, the results of the in-depth investigation were hardly surprising. They were, however, dismissed by those in authority as the product of a young scientist's over-imaginative mind, and as a consequence the whole sorry affair was forgotten and allowed to fade with memory. The events disclosed in this remarkable book have not re-entered the public arena since that time. Given the importance of the topic, and the furore that followed the revelations, it is rather strange that little mention of them is made in any of the whisky books currently in print. ... less

The Daily Mail
Advantages: Well laid out, easy to read
Disadvantages: More pricey than other leading tabloids
...The Daily Mail has been a welcome breakfast addition in our household for as long as I can remember. The news is reliable, informative, and well presented. Redtop tabloids such as The Sun and The Mirror are full of useless showbiz gossip, whereas The Mail concentrates on "real" news.
The first issue of the Daily Mail was published on 4th May, 1896 by Alfred Harmsworth, and was an immediate...

Daily Mail-still does sell
Advantages: Plenty of content, decent stories
Disadvantages: not everything is relevant to everyone...likes most papers then
...The Daily Mail has been around for a long time, and has gained respect over the years. Being only eighteen it won’t come as a surprise to you that I am writing from a great deal of experience, but I have been forced to read a paper due to my A-Level politics course. Broadsheets aside, this is the most informative paper around, well, apart from those who want to read about sex scandals etc....

JUNK MAIL
Advantages: Human interest stories?
Disadvantages: Is this really news?
...Before I write this review, I should in advacne apologise to those who read the Daily Mail everyday as their paper of choice, this is not a reflection on you or how you see the world, but more how I view it. I am sure that deep down those that choose to read this paper have some great qualities.
There are a few things in life that I am loathed to admit to, yet I think it is time that I cam eout...
