Reading This Book, Cover to Cover ...

The author of this blog is Trevor Pateman. I have purchased all the books reviewed here unless stated otherwise. My own books are cheapest at blackwells.co.uk. I can be found at academia.edu but am not on X and never used Twitter. New July 2026: www.otherpeoplesletters.com where I transcribe and introduce letters I have found outside archives, mostly written 1750-1850
