|title=Great Britain Concise Stamp Catalogue 2015
|rating=5
|genre=Reference
|summary=The thirtieth edition of the Stanley Gibbons Concise Stamp catalogue lives up to expectations once again. It's been extensively updated and prices have been revised in line with the current market, leading to thousands of price increases (particularly in varieties, errors, Machins, Post & Go stamps and booklets), which will please you - or not - depending on whether you're a seller or a buyer. It's pitched at that sector of the market which has outgrown ''Collect British Stamps'', but not yet graduated to the [[Stamps of the World 2011 by Stanley Gibbons|Stamps of the World series]]. The cover price of £34.95 is reasonable when you see the amount of work - and technology - which has gone into the creation of the book.

|title=Colorstrology
|summary=First impressions of this book left me slightly worried that I would have little to go on to write any kind of helpful review; it was basically a little book of colour swatches, resembling something of a home décor paint guide. Flicking through, I saw that each page represented a day, allowing the reader to refer to their birthday to gain information relating to their character, rather like a horoscope. So all I had to go on was, effectively, a painting guide to star signs. With this is mind (and with fairly low expectations) I began reading from the beginning, refraining from jumping straight in to analyse my birthday characteristics.

|title=The Autistic Brain
|author=Temple Grandin and Richard Panek
|rating=4.5
|genre=Reference
|summary=Temple Grandin is a lady of many labels: professor of animal science, bestselling author, consultant, activist, engineer, public speaker and subject of an award-winning biopic. She also happens to be autistic, a label she earned at a very early age back in the days before the majority of people knew what autism was. She describes the timing of her diagnosis as fortuitous; only a few years later and the accepted ‘treatment’ for autistic children was removal from their parents and life in an institution.
