Description: A GUIDE TO THOSE STRANGE BRITISH FOR AMERICANS EVER SINCE THEY STOPPED TRYING TO KILL EACH OTHER early in the 19th Century, Britons and Americans have been the very best of buddies, separated it is often said only by the Atlantic and a common language. There are many other differences too as American author Sarah Lyall points out wittily - and with much affection - in this engaging account. Ms Lyall lived in Britain for 18 years as a correspondent for The New York Times and, while deeply fond of the Brits, she also has a sharp eye on the differences between the long-term allies. She explains what those differences are in this delightful memoir that has amused the Brits as much as her fellow Americans. THIS BOOK IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION with clean, crisp and unmarked pages, a firm and square hardcover binding and an intact dust-jacket. There are no signs of previous ownership such as an inscription or bookplate - and in case you want to see what Ms Lyall has to say about a particular person or topic - there is an index. A most entertaining read! You can did into it at any point for a quick laugh or a longer perusal - which makes it a good night-table companion. Publisher: W. W.
