I will buy anything that has the word "Byzantium" on it, I've decided. This tiny little book is one of the "Pocket Essentials" series, and was actually quite good, if you can stomach the author explaining that the reason the book is useful is that is explains something from Dan Brown's "The DaVinci Code". Well, that actually would have been a better excuse for buying that mine, which was a "Spinal Tap" worthy "well, it says 'Byzantium'".
Incidentally, you have to like a book series that has a book entitled "Who Shot JFK", and here's the blurb:
After nearly 1000 books, half a dozen journals, two official inquiries, several million pages of declassified documents, dozens of TV documentaries and hundreds of Websites, is there anything left to say about the assassination of President John F Kennedy? Hell, yes.
I swear - it actually says that - see here. How can you not like that? This is pulp history, and what's not to love? I may spend the rest of the morning browsing their catalog - this is soft core porn for the book lover. Superhero movies? I need that. East Asian Cinema? Psychogeography? Winston Churchill?... Hey, I can read any old kind of trash when it's this short. I wonder if they need authors...
