The Book Café - 11/10/2010

Together with The Scottish Book Trust we'll be launching Family Legends, the chance to tell the story of a remarkable relative and have it read out to the nation. Jessica Mitford's book on investigative journalism, 'Poison Penmanship: The Gentle Art of Muckraking', reviewed by Edi Stark. Rachel Hewitt explains how the project to create the Ordnance Survey map is linked to the English troops' quest to track down Jacobite rebels hiding in the Highlands after the 1745 rebellion. If you're being very organised and sports-themed books are on your shopping list of Christmas presents Bill Campbell from Mainstream publishing will be picking out some great reads and current trends.
