taking a line for a walk: 1100 miles on foot, le havre to rome
Having read a couple of other travel sketch books, I had great anticipation for the arrival of Taking a Line for a Walk.I am very disappointed in the tiny format.The sketches are sweet, but I really would like to read the handwritten remarks.

Enjoying the walk down the line
This delightful little hardback book gave me ideas to enhance my travel sketching techniques.Chris uses a variety of approaches with his handful of sketching implements.I was particularly attracted to his work as he reached Italy in his travels.I carried this wee book on a recent sketching holiday to Turkey for inspiration, and even sought out a fine brown pen in the back streets of Istanbul to trial the effect which pleased me - especially when drawing old buildings or ruins.
It is worth taking the time to decipher Chris' squiggles, as you walk with him through the sights, sounds and smells of the streets and countryside, experiencing what he feels.I read it from cover to cover.
I recommend it to anyone who enjoys quick travel sketching or who wants a flavour of France, Switzerland and Italy.

A long long line
As a collector of small hand drawn or hand written journals, I was happy to add this one to my bookshelf.It is a fascinating account of an elderly man's walk (with only a knapsack) from Le Havre to Rome.That fact alone I found awesome!!He records his days with keen perception and charming drawings, and the writing--what I could read of it--is quite interesting.His drawings are charming and quite wonderful.My main complaint is that it is rather difficult to read what he wrote, and his journey was so interesting, I felt cheated when I couldn't make it out....hence the three stars.But it is unique among the flurry of little books like this which have been published in the last five years.An evening with a book like this, with its quirky little handwritten comments and completely individual drawings, is an enjoyable antidote to the rigid world of computers, instant copies, and fax machines. ...

Product Description
One of a series which presents the full history of cricket clubs enhanced by scorecards of the club's greatest matches, a full statistical section, boxed biographical features and photographs, this is the history of Leicestershire County Cricket Club from 1879. It was not until 1894 that the club became first-class. Its main efforts at the time were to avoid finishing last in the Championship and to remain solvent. Although the Club always had good players it wasn't until Raymond Illingworth arrived in 1969 that the team started to realise its potential. In the 1980s the fans had the pleasure of watching the leading English batsman of the day, David Gower, and for the first time there were three Leicestershire players in the Test team, Gower, Whitaker and de Freitas. ...

It often has a central ring handle for passing round the table. "By maintaining air gaps between the slices, the toast rack allows steam to escape from hot toast instead of condensing into adjacent slices and making them soggy." However, this increased air flow can also mean that the toast becomes cold more quickly. ... Read more
