Breaking the mould

Dear Sir (or madam)

            I (or you) think it's about time (or manner or place) for this book (or... book) to move in a new direction, to become more spontaneous, to break the mould (sic – oops, sorry) of British beef. And that's why I'm writing to you in this epistolary form (rather than a vat of lemon juice).

I should like, however, to recommend to you some books, though aware that others too have been drawn to your attention:

- The Wombles and the decline of the Roman Empire – the untold story. 158pp + illustrations and pop-up features.

- Hamish McWomble reflects on his part in demolishing Rome and upon then gathering up the rubble which others left behind.

- The lives and loves of a cabinet [that's it?!]
