I seem to remember big lots used to have some cheap ereader cases, I might give them a shot before ordering from online. Amazon is sometimes cheaper and a lot quicker with prime, but they don't have everything! And sometimes the item is exactly the same as the aliexpress one, but costs twice as much. I typically buy from Amazon or Aliexpress. Usually I buy a case rather than a sleeve, but I wonder if a sleeve would protect it better when not in use since it wouldn't let sand or dust onto the screen. Here are a few I'm trying to decide between various cases. The book is full of fascinating facts which would interest anyone who has visited, or would like to visit, Pendley Manor.#4 anabolina 05-25-2017, 02:25 PMI haven't received mine yet, but like you, I've been searching for options. The pre-publication reviews were very complimentary about this first book in our new "Endless History" series. At least, certainly when Pendley Open-Air Shakespeare is running! I am horrified to realise that it is nearly half-a-century since that first publication and too many years since I stayed on to help ensure the Festival’s continuation, through the change of ownership following Dorian’s death but Bob has not only filled in the history since but has brought to the fore the essence of what Pendley is all about, a living history relevant to the modern day. It is a pity that Bob and I have never met and despite being only ‘down the road’ my detachment has been more than I have wished these latter years, although I do periodically drop in for after-noon tea-highly commended. In Dorian’s days it was without doubt an extended family of casual, exciting, comfortable characters (read ‘eccentrics’). That detailed, arguably perverse history, also underlies the unique nature of the later to modern style of Pendley in Dorian’s time: diverse, creative, artistic, familiar, cosy, formal with informality (one might use ‘haphazard’). For the nonhistorian, these pages may be a little dense but for many local people they will be of immense interest. As a Berkhamstedian born and bred, many of the ancient family names he mentions were known to me but not in their relationship to Pendley. He describes his book as “A Perspective” which, on reading the depth of his starting historical narrative, is a generous understatement. There is also some content of much wider appeal, such as the references to George Washington.Īs the person for getting Dorian’s “Pendley Residential Centre of Adult Education, the first 25 years, 1945–1970” into print, I am delighted that simple anniversary publication has been superseded by Bob Little’s “A History of Pendley Manor”.
