Is that really a 'rather nice trailer'? Although neatly edited it seemed a really obvious, uninspiring treatment, with no insight into the content whatsoever either (although I hear from other sources the book's very good). Rather surprising considering the big names attached to it. Or am I missing something?

"......or am I missing something? " - yes Barry - It's not your type.

I think I've just had a fit.

Still fancy buying the book though.
