Ackroyd’s London is a classic Miss D and this one certainly sounds interesting. Thanks for pointing it out.

Yeah, I like the look of this book very much.

I had no idea that prehistoric hippopotamus fossils had been found in Trafalgar Square!!!

The section on Hogarth / Victorian London sounds interesting too.

I'm going to order myself a copy today!

I just read this review and thought it sounded interesting.

I love Peter Ackroyd's biography of London and this sounds similar.

I can highly recommend H.H. Holmes: The True History of the White City Devil by Adam Selzer. Think you know anything about Holmes, his Murder Castle or his crimes? Think again. Almost everything I thought I knew about Holmes turns out to be false and Selzer exposes the lazy research of previous writers like Schechter and Larson. Eye opening.

Wolf.

Thanks Wolf, I considered that one a while ago but opted for something else. I think I'll get it.

I’m sure there’s already a thread for this but I can’t find it. So the title says it all.

Recommend books here.

Ive never read a book on The Dreyfus Affair so I bought one and I’ve just finished it and can recommend it highly to anyone. It’s ingeniously titled The Dreyfus Affair by Piers Paul Read. Excellent read. I can’t really imagine the need for any further books on the subject but there will be of course.

Mines a hardback picked up on Amazon for just under £5 ($6.82 for those of you that don’t use proper money)
