"Road all about it!" - The Sun "One of the most original, crazy, informative and enjoyable books to appear for a long time: this guide is utterly appealing" - Sarah Anderson,Travel Bookshop "The most eccentric and fascinating guidebook we have ever seen" - John Sandoe Bookshop "Delightful" - Woman's Hour A decade-old obsession for Dutchman Pieter Boogaart resulted in a guidebook that looks like no other, to a subject never before fully explored: the A272. Three continuous texts wind their way through the book, simultaneously exploring the A272 itself and the countryside it passes through; extra commentary is provided in yet another level of text. Hundreds of colour photographs complete this homage to the 'epitome of England'. After eight reprintings, now in a fully revised, updated, improved FOURTH edition and - naturally - 272 pages long!

This truly is an 'ode to a road.' One would think that a book all about the A272 would be somewhat dull but nothing of the sort. Pieter Boogaart has written a fascinating account of so many interesting things and places along this road that you feel you want to get straight into your car and see them all for yourself. Not only is the writing excellent, but the photographs that accompany the text are beautiful too. Think I may well stay at home this Summer and just drive up the A272 to see everything for myself!
