Book by Jardines in Knutsford: I Know You Got Soul by Jeremy Clarkson

SOME machines have it and others don't: soul. They take your breath away and your heart beats a little faster just knowing that they exist.

They may not be the fastest, most efficient or even the best in their class - but they were designed by people who loved them and we can't help but love them back.

In I Know You Got Soul, Jeremy Clarkson celebrates in his own inimitable style, the machines which matter to us, and tells the stories of the geniuses, boffins and crackpots who put the ghost in the machine.

Lost For Words by John Humphrys

FROM tired old clichs to meaningless jargon, neglected rules of grammar to empty slogans, the English language is being abused in many quarters.

Words are devalued and rendered meaningless. And it is all so ugly.

English is a beautiful language, which should give us pleasure, not pain.

John Humphrys pokes fun at the many ways people mangle our language.

He also raises serious issues about people in power who use words to manipulate us. Language should be simple, clear and honest.
