London Cyclist magazine said:
“Does what it says on the tin: 50 well-researched, interesting rides, all over England and Wales ”
CTC magazine said:
"A bit like Dr Who's Tardis, this slim paperback conceals a cavernous interior, with copious facts about unusual biking experiences all over England and Wales. Each ride includes a 'snackstop', a 'bevvy break', a tourist tick list (making sightseeing a doddle) and details of further information sources. Yet more icing on the cake comes in the form of a dedicated website with maps of all the routes shown. The book will interest a whole spectrum of riders, from casual pootlers to dedicated cycle tourers. A great book."

so hilariously egregious that you can't imagine how they could ever have been perpetrated in the first place

‘... that is what we do – we go out and destroy other people’s lives.’ So said a former news editor on the News of the World.
Do the great British public get the press the ‘Red Tops’ think they deserve? Or are the tabloids’ pious protestations of public interest really just a prurient self-serving attempt to halt declining circulation?Peter Burden examines the News of the World’s performance – with its Fake Sheikh and the illegal mobile phone tapping, which lead to a gaol sentence for royal reporter Clive Goodman and the resignation of the editor. Burden also highlights the papers hypocritical bleating when Mazher Mahmood, the Fake Sheikh, was himself unmasked.
Fake Sheikhs & Royal Trappings
News of the world? Fake Sheikhs & Royal Trappings is a book for everyone concerned about standards in British tabloid journalism and people who care about privacy rights and the debate over serving the Public Interest vs the interest of the public.

…mesmerising story. [Humphreys] undertook the expedition to find out if he could write. Believe me, he can. And rather well, too. You can almost feel the sand being kicked up in your face as you turn the page… This book is a literary match to his physical achievement.
