I've got a couple of these "Mammoth" books and for me they are actually TOO big. I like to read completely through an anthology and put it up on my shelves, but these tomes are just too much for me typically. I no longer buy them.
well, charles, i've just ordered my copy. some of the names in there have me salivating. allan guthrie, a gentleman and a scholar and also my top man, and donna moore who's book 'old dogs' has me laughing out loud like a lune and i'll stop there because you can check out the contents page yourselves.
£5.89 with free p&p, so it weighs in at a penny a page...splendid.
