The last time I read a book with a view to précising it was 1968. It was for "O" Level English Literature and the book was Pride and Prejudice.
I can see now why I dropped English, German, Art History (still a hobby), Chemistry and Biology (still interested in the dirty bits) and took Maths and Physics for "A" Level. Nevertheless I stuck to my plan and read the Prologue in The Iron Sea. Had I not had an inkling of Simon Read's work and the subject matter I would not have been inspired to continue, but I soldiered on (Pun, I believe) and found Chapter 1 less dense and more interesting. There the Sample ended.
Would I buy it? Yes I will, Hardback £20, not a bargain but no more than a couple of coffee's and sticky buns.
