Fun little book

This is a fun little book to read. It's all about the different kind of biscuits that you can buy. It's easy to read and makes a great gift for anyone that grew up in the UK or who loves biscuits.

Brilliant

i'm a brit living in the us and my sister gave me this book as a birthday gift. i absolutely love it. very well written, super funny and oh so true!

After a nice sit down...

Loved this book. Nicey has a wonderful, witty tone and covers the essentials to British tea drinking and biscuit dunking. Wonderful review of the various biscuits with photos, good guide for those who are new to the art of biscuit buying. Wifey manages to keep everything on topic.

Perfect Read...again...and again...and again...

It has quickly become one of my favorite books. I happen to be a tea fanatic, so obviously a book about tea and biscuits would suit me just fine. However, I am also quite particular about the books I adore, and this one fits the bill. Well written by an obviously intelligent human being, but also extremely witty and informative. I have purchased a copy for my adult brit-loving/tea-loving daughter. She wanted to borrow my copy, but there is no way I am letting it go! Buy it...devour it...come back for more. You won't be sorry.

This book contains everything you need to know about tea and biscuits when visiting Britain. Never again have the Brits looking down at you in disgust when you don't know the proper protocol for afternoon tea. Buy it. Read it on the plane on the way over. Never look out of place again at those important business meetings.
