English History submitted by johnnyringo on August 2, 2011, 11:26am Great book about the history of the home, goes off on interesting tangents about famous English eccentrics and inventors--I loved this book!!

The CD is sometimes better... submitted by tbbrown76 on July 2, 2014, 8:02pm I like listening to the author on an audiobook. This is very good.

Interesting but pedantic submitted by suttonp on June 27, 2022, 12:53pm This had many interesting details, but seemed to wander around vaguely at some places
