  • Praise for Peter Forbes's Dazzled & Deceived

    24 Nov 2009

    “The natural armoury of deceptions as depicted in Dazzled and Deceived is astounding, and the history of research into the phenomenon is just as surprising … Forbes presents an authoritative account of research into mimicry and brings it bang up to date”

    Gail Vines, New Scientist

    “This may well be the only book on evolution that we will ever review on this site, and it’s a good one … a fascinating story of scientific discovery and controversy, coming right up to the present day. Forbes does a very good job of explaining some very complicated theories, and has produced a classic work of popular science.” HistoryofWar.org

  • Praise for Juliet Barker's Conquest: The English Kingdom of France

    24 Nov 2009

    “…a magnificently readable account of the last four decades of that war…Juliet Barker’s account of Joan of Arc is one of the best parts of the book…I thought Agincourt was a superb book, but Conquest is even better. Once upon a time there was an English kingdom in France and Juliet Barker has brought it to extraordinary life.” Bernard Cornwell, Mail on Sunday

    Praise for Tim Newark , whose Highlander has just been published by Constable, has come from an unexpected source. After Newark sprung to Trump’s defence over plans for a golf complex in North East Scotland, Trump described Newark as “one of the most preeminent historians in Scotland.” More details at http://www.huffingtonpost.com/donald-j-trump/my-new-golf-course-a-sourb323741.html

  • Top UK non-fiction agent

    The recent Publishers Marketplace piece about the agency being the top UK non-fiction agency in terms of deals done this year perhaps didn’t make sufficiently clear the margin in which the agency is ahead - 21 deals with second place 7 - nor that the agency hasn’t announced new deals since June so plenty more to be listed.
