Shorter notices

The People's Rights Winston Churchill with an introduction by Cameron Hazlehurst (Cape 30s). First published in 1909, Churchill designed this book (a personal edition of some of his own best speeches) as 'a guide for some and an armoury for others' prior to the general election of 1910. The fulminat- ing voice is in great, if occasionally repetitive, form and richly deserves the attentions of those (in particular) who are fond of seeing Churchill's career as being of little note prior to his emergence in 1939.

1970 Michelin: France (Michelin 32s). There are now almost a hundred of the famous hieroglyphic signs in the new red Michelin guide to France. Once mastered, they pro- vide the key to a delightful, imagine-it- yourself travel book and an indispensable vade-mecum for the gastronomic motorist. This edition boasts a new three star res- taurant at La Napoule and clearer maps.
