"Doc N Thanks, both, for taking the trouble to show the titles and authors to make the posts more helpful.
"
Doc N can you tell me how to do link that way please?0 -
Sunflowersuffolk this is how I do the links:
Type the text you want to show as a link, so usually the book title plus author.
Highlight the text and click the "Insert Link" icon (the little globe symbol with a link chain). In the box add the link that you want to text to go to.
It should look a bit like this in your message before you post (I've inserted some spaces so it doesn't actually create the link):
[ URL="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Art-Life-Sarah-Carter-ebook/dp/B00CCH4YMO"] The Art of Life by Sarah Carter [ /URL ]
Hope that makes sense!0 -
A Journey around the Rebuilding of Postwar Britain - John Grindrod
TOWER BLOCKS. FLYOVERS. STREETS IN THE SKY. ONCE, THIS WAS THE FUTURE. Was Britain's postwar rebuilding the height of midcentury chic or the concrete embodiment of Crap Towns? John Grindrod decided to find out how blitzed, slum-ridden and crumbling 'austerity Britain' became, in a few short years, a space-age world of concrete, steel and glass. On his journey he visits the sleepy Norfolk birthplace of Brutalism, the once-Blitzed city centre of Plymouth, the futuristic New Town of Cumbernauld, Sheffield's innovative streets in the sky, the foundations of the BT tower, and the brave 1950s experiments in the Gorbals. Along the way he meets New Town pioneers, tower block builders, Barbican architects, old retainers of Coventry Cathedral, proud prefab dwellers and sixties town planners: people who lived through a time of phenomenal change and excitement. What he finds is a story of dazzling space-age optimism, ingenuity and helipads -- so many helipads -- tempered by protests, deadly collapses and scandals that shook the government. Concretopia is an accessible, warm and revealing social history of an aspect of Britain often ignored, insulted and misunderstood. It will change the way you look at Arndale Centres, tower blocks and concrete forever.

Has anyone been getting kindle books free from their library? Seems a good thing if you have the right kindle.
In my area - Suffolk - it seems to be possible, though you have to download "Overdrive" and it only seems to work on Kindle fire, I have the basic original kindle and paperwhite so assume it won't work for me.I am not technically gifted, so if anyone knows a way round this problem (apart from buying another kindle), I'd appreciate it.0
