Always judge a book by its cover


See above. Great cover = great book. This is one of the best kind of books: Bed & Breakfast Books, B&BB's for short. These are the books you find abandoned in hotels around England (hence the name). B&BB's are always gripping stories, usually (always) focused on hidden treasure in - one time - exotic locations and always with a painted image on the cover (that somewhat gives away the plot. Annoyed.) Set in brash Technicolour invariably in the 60s, with some nasty protagonist and some unexpected heroes, these books are wonderful, always, for whiling away hours on damp Summer afternoons...
