Excellent! This is the second edition of our new segment 'So I'm looking for this book that has...' and while they are all very specific, this weeks one is a collection of about as specific you can get!

Apparently it can deter vampires, make your breath smell and evoke the French countryside: is there anything that garlic can't do? Well now you can know for sure in Garlic! Whether you like to cook it, grow it or just look at it, this book is sure to bring your level of obsession to a whole new level...

Forgive me if I can hardly contain myself but this book is packed full of stunning brick buildings from around the world. Never again will bricks be seen as boring. Is this my new obsession?

Well yes, I'm afraid to say that this is the way that we will end today's post. If I were a birdwatcher, this would be my book to identify birds.
