About this product

Product Information

Biography is well recognised as a peculiarly British vice. This anthology is a collection of original essays by some of the best biographers now writing in Britain. They tell of the ups and downs of life writing: of problems with families and friends of their subjects, of shocking new discoveries, and of bitter professional rivalries. Essays in favour of biography, others that describe disenchantment with an attempt to capture another human being in the pages of a book. First published in the autumn of 2004 - to coincide with the appearance of the most important British publishing enterprise of the new century to date, the new Oxford Dictionary of National Biography - Lives For Sale is full of amusing anecdotes and fascinating experiences retold by some of the masters of the form, including Michael Holroyd, Claire Tomalin, Fiona MacCarthy, Graham Robb, Andrew Roberts, Hermione Lee, Margaret Forster, Jenny Uglow, Antonia Fraser, as well as contributions from the rising generation, and an essay by Beryl Bainbridge on 'Waiting for the Biographer'.

I think this item (which was one of four bought at the same time as part of a special offer) had to be re-despatched. I told them it didn't arrive with the other books so they made arrangements to get it to me ASAP. They said it would be despatched within 48 hours and it was despatched within 24. I had it on my doorstep in 3 days, in very good condition as described. Very happy with the price and the service, highly recommended seller. Very professional.

OVER SOME TIME NOWI HAVE PURCHASED SEVERAL BOOKS FROM WOB. ALL ARRIVED IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, ON TIME AND WERE WELL PACKAGED. THE LAST BOOK WAS NOT AS DESCRIBED ETC AND I EMAILED THE COMPANY TO SAY HOW DISAPPOINTED I WAS WITH MY LATEST PURCHASE. I RECEIVED A REPLY BACK ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AND WAS OFFERED EITHER A REPLACEMENT OR A REFUND. NO QUIBBLES, NO ARGUMENTS, NO STRESS. THIS IS HOW I JUDGE THIS COMPANY BY THERE CUSTOMER SERVICE WHICH WAS ABSOLUTELY EXCELLENT. I WILL ORDER AGAIN. THANKS
