|title=British Airways Colouring Book
|rating=4
|genre=Crafts
|summary=Over the past couple of years we've seen a lot of colouring books: flowers, patterns, fantasy creatures, characters and settings from television shows, films and books and lots more, but I can't recollect that we've ever before had one which featured a ''company''. Mind you, British Airways, is rather special; iconic and rather more long lasting than most passing celebrities. It has ''heritage'' and ''tradition''. The ''British Airways Colouring Book'' is based on exclusive posters, photographs and artwork from the company's archives and the 46 images allow the reader to recreate these as they wish. There's a bonus too: on the facing page of each image there's a potted history. I passed the book to someone with an interest in BA and he found the book interesting and informative ''without'' even thinking of doing any colouring.

|summary= Edward IV is currently a popular subject for biographers. All credit is therefore due to Dr Ashdown-Hill, one of the foremost of current Yorkist-era historians, for looking at the King from a fresh angle – that of his romantic involvements.

|genre=Autobiography
|summary=Before she became a world famous author, Astrid Lindgren worked as a secretary, and as a wife and mother.

She writes in a fresh and candid manner, and her observations are both personal and astute.
