Description

A fun and fascinating little book that uses the latest data to map everything that is very British.
  • All the latest data is used to map Britain's preoccupations and quirks - from favourite crisp flavours to most morris dancers, from oldest pubs to most haunted places.
  • A brilliantly dip-inable and sharable little book. Packed with information too good to keep to yourself.
  • Supported by the National Trust, who know a thing or two about Britishness.

You'll find answers to important questions like:

Where in Britain has the most roundabouts? The longest pier? The most days of rain? The most trainspotters? The most robins? The silliest placenames? The most garden centres?

What crisp flavour is favourite in Manchester?

How do people in Devon say 'Scone'?

Which countries give us 'nil points' most often in Eurovision? (Holland, is it something we said?)

Where exactly are German Bight and Cromarty?



Britain's quirks and preoccupations mapped in a hilarious and fascinating little book

Will definitely use again!

Great experience and I have zero concerns. They communicated through the shipping process and if there was any hiccups in it, they let me know. Books arrived in perfect condition as well as being fairly priced. 10/10 recommend. I will definitely shop here again!

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
