Fifty Great Things to Come Out of the Midlands by Robert Shore

4.0

I think this is a good idea - give away a little freebie to give you a preview of the author's style. Much better than reading the first chapter (I never do that - I'm a completist and I'd have to finish the book regardless).
So yes, for me this worked. It's reasonably entertaining, and it made me want to read Bang in the Middle.
