Inedible - By: West Wanderer, 30 Dec 2008 
Sadly I cannot agree with the other reviewers. I found the book trite & desperately unfunny. Truly heavy going. Whilst I may be interestedin biscuits, particularly eating them, this book is not something to read whilst having a nice cup of tea & a sit down, at the risk of indigestion.
A review can only be a matter of personal opinion, but this book will not be remainingin my possession.
This book puts the "T" in Britain - By: Do-not-disturb, 28 Dec 2008 
This is such a charming little book - ideal for dunkingin & out of during tea breaks! It's full of fascinating, quirky little facts about the quintessentially British tea-and-biccies obsession - & it's laugh-out-loud funny too. Excellent accompaniment to your morning cuppa - & should be essential reading for all Americans who simply do not understand how to make & enjoy our national beverage! (My only criticism is the "science bits" - orange print on grey background really doesn't work.)
kept it myself - By: snowflake, 08 Oct 2008 Nothing much to add to all the previous reviews, only to say I bought it for my sister but kept it for myself. A very funny, witty book, which I will continue to read & reread. Yes I did laugh out loud quite a few times. Read it for yourself, with a very large mug of tea.
Have a cuppa and put your feet up with this book - By: Snapdragon, 19 Aug 2007 
What a lovely little book, the perfect accompaniment to a nice cup of tea! Find out what your work cup says about you; whether Wagon Wheels are smaller than they used to be; why fig rolls have a 'sense of mystery' & why shortbread is a biscuit with delusions of grandeur!
I particularly enjoyed Nicey's thought about the pink wafer & fully concur that it is the biscuit equivalent of 'The Singing Detective'. The only glaring omission, for me, was the toasted teacake.
A great 'gift book' that you can dipin & out of. Funny & engaging.
Tea and Biscuits - By: Laura Nixon, 23 Apr 2007 If you like a good cup of tea with some biscuits, this is definately the book to read with it! It's a humourous book all about the leisurely art of having a cup of tea & describes some great biscuitsin detail. You'll love this if you're a fan of the website of the same name & also if you enjoy knowing random things like how many Penguins are made each day. It's an enjoyable read & worth a look.
