HelBic 12th Oct 2020		Book Eric Berne - Games People Play (1971)	I read this when I was a teenager - I spotted the review in my daily feed and recognised the cover. Frankly, I remember nothing about it aprat from the cover and name!
HelBic 2nd Jun 2020		Book Isaac Asimov - The Complete Robot (2018)	I read just about every piece of Sci-Fi he wrote, all of the robot series and indeed I bought book when I encountered it many years ago. As a teenager he was top of my list. One of my all time favourite Sci-Fi authors and of course, his Three Laws of Robotics are now canon for almost ANY robot story.
HelBic 23rd Mar 2019		Book Brandon T Snider And Jon Glick - The Dark Knight Manual (2012)	A note about the joker card - the scans are of the front and back of the card - just in case that wasn't obvious.
HelBic 21st Mar 2019		Book The Highway Code - AA Publishing (2018)	I travel round the country a lot for my work and have to say, I wish a LOT more people using our roads had read and understood this baby!
HelBic 21st Oct 2017		Book J. R. R. Tolkien - The Hobbit (1996)	This was indeed written as a children's book. The (to me) really interesting information about TLOTR is that Tolkien, being a philologist was inventing a language but felt the need for the language to have (for want of a better term) a 'back story'. To be real, he had to invent a race to use the language - and hit on the concept of using Elves. He then wrote TLOTR as well as a whole host of other shorter myths and legends of his Elvish race which his son Christopher eventually collected, edited and finally published as The Silmarillion.
