 Roundabouts of Great Britain - Kevin Beresford
 Roundabouts of Great Britain - Kevin Beresford ... to the popular hobby of roundabout spotting.

Believe me, it's not a book that I would buy for myself, and I'm sure I would have remembered somebody giving it to me (and quickly disowned them). Still, there it was hiding out in my bookcase, gathering dust along with books that I just don't want to part with. A mystery... So ... Read the complete review
