our favourite {non-fiction} books

The next in our "a few of our favourite things" series, here are some of the non-fiction books we love...


• A Japanese series of creative/interiors books called Editions Paumes - hard to get hold of, and all in Japanese, but worth it for the lovely and inspiring pictures (here).
• London A-Z for the geek inside, I love the attention to detail and the story of its creator Phyllis Pearsal (here).
• Breathe on 'em Salop (history of Shrewsbury Town FC).
• A Year of Mornings: 3191 miles apart - a good coffee table book full of gorgeous photography where two friends, living 3191 miles apart, took photos every morning for a year to share with each other.
• A People's Tragedy by Orlando Figes - heavy in both content and physicality, but epic and - incredibly - all true.
• A Million Little Pieces by James Frey - really gripping story.
• Falling Leaves by Adeline Yen Mah - if China is going to be the biggest world power, we need to worry.
