|author=Lydia Pyne
|title=Bookshelf (Object Lessons)
|rating=4.5
|genre=Lifestyle
|summary=Could you imagine a whole book dedicated to a single lump of wood, or a few sections of metal? I can't assume it would be great – with or without said item being ''an object with physical, historical and psychological components''. But shove some distorted tree by-products on to said wood or metal, and lo and behold you have a bookshelf. Now you're talking – but could you even now imagine a whole book dedicated to it?

|summary=If you ask people what they fear most in any social situation most will tell you that it's not knowing how to behave. They'll be fine about the basics, but it's those little niceties - how to introduce yourself, what to ask for as an aperitif, how to address someone, for instance which can suddenly reveal you as a parvenu. William Hanson gives us a quick trip through the essentials in a book which is very readable and - in places - hilariously funny.

|author=John Jackson
|title=A Little Piece of England: A tale of self-sufficiency
|rating=5
|genre=Lifestyle
|summary=Here at Bookbag we're great fans of John Jackson. We loved his [[Tales for Great Grandchildren by John Jackson and Daniela Jaglenka Terrazzini|Tales for Great Grandchildren]] ''and'' [[Brahma Dreaming: Legends from Hindu Mythology by John Jackson and Daniela Jaglenka Terrazzini|Brahma Dreaming: Legends from Hindu Mythology]] so it was something of a treat to meet the author on his own ground, so to speak. Originally published as ''A Bucket of Nuts and a Herring Net: The Birth of a Spare-Time Farm'' this is actually Jackson's first book and thirty-five years later we're delighted that it's been republished in hardback complete with the original black-and-white illustrations by Val Biro.
