Celebrate World Book Day 1999. An amazing range of authors and subjects is on offer in this eclectic collection. There's something for everyone - excerpts from exciting new novels, poetry old and new, stimulating articles - even a recipe or two. It's an opportunity to catch up with familiar names and to sample some fresh one - a reminder of what makes books so special. The Grown-Ups' Book of Books is one of two books specially produced for World Book Day with the support of publishers, booksellers, printers, designers and distributors.
