{{newreview

|author= Gerard Cheshire

|title= A History of Victorian Postage

|rating= 4.5

|genre= History

|summary=Although we think of postage and the sending of letters as a specifically Victorian innovation, its roots go far deeper than that. This book, which surveys a much broader time frame than the title might suggest, presents us with an admirably concise picture of its development up to its full fruition in the mid-nineteenth century.

|author=S Morris and N Grueninger

|summary= The mobile phone must be one of the most used, must-have accessories of the modern age, the one device you cannot escape from in public. Some of us with (relatively) long memories must look back on the age when the bright red phonebox reigned supreme as a long time ago.

~~|title=Warriors and Kings: The 1500-Year Battle for Celtic Britain~~

~~|rating= 4.5~~

~~|genre=History~~

|summary= For several centuries, much of the ancient and medieval history of Britain was one forged in war as the Celtic peoples took a stand against invasion and oppression. First it was the Romans, then the Saxons, Vikings and Normans, who threatened the unyielding and insular people. This book examines how several tenacious and heroic figures led the Britons and the Welsh against often overwhelming odds.
