are lots of great books about pubs, right? Wrong.
Now, we are correcting that with this miscellany of the fascinating,
the quirky, the exciting, the novel and the downright odd that you will
want to sit down with a pint and dive in. Here you'll find stories,
quirks, essays, deep-dives, listicles and more - everything but the
pint - for you to immerse yourself in the wonderful, weird, funny and
witty history of British pubs.
