Sadly I cannot agree with the other reviewers. I found the book trite and desperately unfunny. Truly heavy going. Whilst I may be interested in biscuits, particularly eating them, this book is not something to read whilst having a nice cup of tea and a sit down, at the risk of indigestion.
A review can only be a matter of personal opinion, but this book will not be remaining in my possession.

This is such a charming little book - ideal for dunking in and out of during tea breaks! It's full of fascinating, quirky little facts about the quintessentially British tea-and-biccies obsession - and it's laugh-out-loud funny too. Excellent accompaniment to your morning cuppa - and should be essential reading for all Americans who simply do not understand how to make and enjoy our national beverage! (My only criticism is the "science bits" - orange print on grey background really doesn't work.)

Nothing much to add to all the previous reviews, only to say I bought it for my sister but kept it for myself. A very funny, witty book, which I will continue to read and reread. Yes I did laugh out loud quite a few times. Read it for yourself, with a very large mug of tea.

If you like a good cup of tea with some biscuits, this is definately the book to read with it! It's a humourous book all about the leisurely art of having a cup of tea and describes some great biscuits in detail. You'll love this if you're a fan of the website of the same name and also if you enjoy knowing random things like how many Penguins are made each day. It's an enjoyable read and worth a look.
