 PYRAMIDS IN BRITAIN & IRELAND - new book
Info source: Northern Echo, 30/06/2009
Author David Winpenny has turned a childhood fascination with a local landmark into a book that has taken him the length and bredth of the country.
Up To A Point - In Search Of Pyramids in Britain & Ireland identifies almost 200 pyramids of all sizes and ages throughout the British Isles.
He was apparently inspired originally by the grave of Charles Piazzi Smyth, former Astronomer Royal for Scotland and believer in the powers of the Great Pyramid in Egypt, and who was buried beneath a pyramid in Sharow, near Ripon, North Yorkshire.
Bad news - the book costs £24.95. I may have to hang on for a second-hand copy.

Thanks for the tip! Its an excellent book and I'd thoroughly recommend it to all folly fans. I'll be reviewing it for 'Follies' magazine, but should the next one not appear before Christmas, you'd be safe in putting it on your Christmas list.
