London: Phillimore, 1973. A near Fine unmarked copy (Fine apart from a neat name, address and date to front pastedown and a few small ticks to some items in the appendix) with near Fine dustjacket which is not price clipped. 252 pages. Following the success of his earlier book, In Search of Ancestry, the author seeks to guide the Scottish family researcher from the time he is led by curiosity to make tentative enquiries from aged aunts and uncles to the time when he is far back in the centuries immersed in an absorbing and often lifetime hobby. But the path of the Scottish genealogist differs considerably from that of the English searcher since Scotland for many centuries had its distinct history and, even more important, had its own legal system. The latter results in the existence of many records which have no counterpart in England and Wales. The book therefore provides invaluable information to conduct research. C3A. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Near Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

London: Little Brown, 1997. A Fine unmarked copy with near Fine dustjacket which is not price clipped. Foreword by Bamber Gascoigne. 'It's only a bloody game!'. Thus Magnus Magnusson's words of reassurance at the start of every 'Mastermind' programme, in an attempt to cheer up the nervous contestants as they awaited the ordeal of the Black Chair. But Mastermind, of course, was more than a game: it was a national institution, a must for millions of viewers for 25 years, and when the BBC announced that it was coming to an end it made front page news. In this fascinating and revealing book the Interrogator himself, Magnus Magnusson, tells the behind-the-scenes story of a television programme which made broadcasting history, drawing on the memories and records of the Mastermind Club - an exclusive haven for the survivors of the Black Chair. 24.
