I see you have two books on geography by Marshall. How are his books.
I see you have two books on geography by Marshall. If you’ve read other books by him, how is he as an author?
I have not read any by him yet, though I do have several that he has written, Marcene
I like the title Slow Trains around Spain so I’ll be looking forward to that review. It is a big list but I know you’ll hack through it – and I was hardly unambitious in my post this month about my upcoming reading!
Just looked at your post. Tom Chesshyre has written some great books on train journeys.
