Paperback. Condition: Good. 'A hymn to hardware, charming, lyrical' - The Sunday Times, BOOK OF THE WEEK 'A paean to DIY' - The Times 'Strung together very agreeably, with dry wit and, dare I say it, considerable polish' - Country Life In 2018 Tom Fort's daughter-in-law took over a century-old hardware shop. The family dreamed o…f developing the shop into one that would become the centre of village life; that much did come true, but not in the way they had expected. Interweaving the evolution of the shop, its previous owners, the customers it serves and the items it sells, Rivets, Trivets & Galvanised Buckets offers a delightful study of community and shines a light on the eccentricities of ordinary people. Alongside, it presents a fascinating history of technological development; from who thought of screwdrivers to where the spirit level came from, who devised the process of galvanisation and what genius worked out that a suction pad on the end of a piece of wood could unblock sinks. As Tom recounts: 'A little girl came with her father into Heath and Watkins, looked around for a while and said "Daddy, this is the shop of EVERYTHING"'. This is the story of how that happened. The book has been read but remains in clean condition. All pages are intact and the cover is intact. Some minor wear to the spine.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. 'A nostalgic experience, informative, humorous, charming, but pervaded by the bitter-sweet scent of regret'Daily Mail 'Fort has an eye for the quirky, the absurd, the pompous and a style that, like the road, is always on the move' Sunday Telegraph 'A lovely book.At last someone has celebrated the… romance of the British road'Guardian The A303 is more than a road.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. An entertaining book, written with Forts characteristic conversational style A real pleasure to read BBC Countryfile A wide-ranging, intelligent and bracingly enjoyable book The Literary Review Meticulously researched and seasoned with wry humour, this is a perceptive and richly rewarding read Ma…il on Sunday We have lived in villages a long time. The village was the first model for communal living.Towns came much later, then cities.Later still came suburbs, neighbourhoods, townships, communes, kibbutzes.But the village has endured. Across England, modernity creeps up to the boundaries of many, breaking the connection the village has with the land. With others, they can be as quiet as the graveyard as their housing is bought up by city weekenders, or commuters. The ideal chocolate box image many holidaying to our Sceptred Isle have in their minds eye may be true in some cases, but across the country the heartbeat of the real English village is still beating strongly if you can find it. To this mission our intrepid historian and travel writer Tom Fort willingly gets on his trusty bicycle and covers the length and breadth of England to discover the essence of village life. His journeys will travel over six thousand years of communal existence for the peoples that eventually became the English. Littered between the historical analysis, are personal memories from Tom of the village life he remembers and enjoys today in rural Oxfordshire. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. "Downstream" is a celebration of rivers: an exploration of what they mean to us and an account of what we owe to them. Tom Fort followed the course of our third largest, and one of our least known rivers from source to the sea - the River Trent. Travelling partly on foot and bicycle, but chiefly…in a plywood fifteen foot punt, Fort journeyed through the unsung heart of Middle England, showing him the unseen face of his own country. His journey taught him about the land and moving water, its mysteries and magic. Rivers are special to us and the landscape we inhabit. They shape and define our world. They give us power and nourishment. They were the first highways, routes for conquest and flight. They acted as barriers and connections. they stir the imagination and reach into our souls. This is an exploration into the historical, geographical, social, cultural and industrial aspects of a river filled with the curiosities, forgotten characters and departed ways. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
