Good book recommendations?
Is it worth a section for this, have just started reading a couple of background ones about the servant and masters, might be interesting to see what people find informative.

They usually get put in The Snug; I think there's a specific thread for them.
Currently investigating the Hillmans of Sussex.

I think Roger means ones that are good for historical background info, not novels and cookbooks etc.
Am I right Roger?

We have the Historical section for information on general areas
and we do actually in the Townships and Villages have a thread specifically
for Books on towns in the BC.
So I personally think the Historical section would suffice perhaps a thread
"Historical Books of interest" or similar.
That could cover all sorts of books
