Great time to read a little. I just finished this one by A.J Nathanson and thoroughly enjoyed it. Only 50 odd pages (many with photographs) so a quick read. A fair bit of repetition from Graig's "The Mint" but some interesting additional background information on Simon.

All sensible stuff. I did like this tongue in cheek contribution:-

Beware attack of the pie plates! This is mine and I don't know how to downsize so apologise in advance:

Obviously really likes F90's.
