  As with the second edition, the new A TO Z of Everything has been updated and added to (and corrected). New material for this edition will include a Politics section revised and enlarged in the wake of the General Election and, by popular demand, a section on the derivation of phrases and sayings. Other additions include sections on county flowers, Jane Austen's characters, and the National Parks of England, Scotland and Wales. The dedicated Current Affairs section will be revised to cover the two-year period since publication of the second edition. The Music section now lists all UK No. 1 singles since 1959. (Trevor works every day of the year to ensure that the book is as up to date as possible on publication). This ever more monumental work of reference is a must-have title for your bookshelf - enjoyable to dip into, and a sheer cornucopia of fact.
