|author=Felicity Trotman (editor)
|title=Winter: A Book for the Season
|rating=3.5
|genre=Anthologies
|summary=This seasonal anthology contains a nice mixture of poetry, nature and travel pieces, and excerpts from longer works of fiction. Felicity Trotman, a freelance editor and member of the English Civil War Society, has arranged the material into three sections: 'The Old Year', 'Christmas, Sacred and Secular', and 'The New Year'. This creates an appropriate sense of chronological progression, and also serves to make Christmas the heart of the book. Black-and-white illustrations – maps, photographs and engravings – are interspersed throughout, and each author gets a short paragraph of biography and background.

|summary=We all need maths - or so it says on the back of ''Everyday Maths for Grown Ups'' and whilst you could ''exist'' without a basic knowledge, life is going to be so much easier if you can check receipts, do the calculations for that spot of DIY or work out if the 'bargain' you've been offered really is one. Kjartan Poskitt reckons that very few people are really confident with figures, but hopes that he can offer some help.

|title=Everyday English for Grown-Ups: Getting to Grips with the Basics
|rating=4
|genre=Reference
|summary=It can seem a long time since we learned the nuts and bolts of the English language when we were at school. At the time the niceties of colons and intricacies of apostrophes weren't really that relevant to our lives and it's only when we miss out on a good job because our English isn't up to scratch or someone makes a scathing remark about our abuse of the language that we realise that we could do with an urgent and discreet brushup. Step forward ''Everyday English for Grown-ups'' - and it's aimed at native and non-native English speakers.
