<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Not the least of the reasons for the excellence of
the book is the author's eye for detail and on the whole it's pretty
accurate. The amount of nonsense written about Big Ben (including from those who
should know better) is remarkable: this book is not an addition to it. And it's
very readable. Even Grimthorpe would have approved, I think, responsible as he
was for two big, bad bells. The author manages to be positive about him, Warner
and Mears, which is quite an achievement!</FONT></DIV>
