Adrian Chiles's weekly Guardian column has gained a cult following for his unique insights into everything from the present tense in history podcasts to his legendary at-home urinal.

Chiles never misses. And his targets are the stuff of life, the everyday things we should all stop and think about a little more: favourite spoons, the correct duration of a hug, falling into a bed of wild garlic, or even discovering you have a naked doppleganger on OnlyFans.

This bumper collection takes us on a brilliant, bemused tour of British life, delivering offbeat, comforting blasts of truth, humour and warmth.

'The nation's only truly good columnist' Imogen West-Knights, Slate

Store Description

Originally started as an amateur venture, Seagull Books has grown into a knowledgable and reputable on-line book vendor. Our inventory is growing all the time, and we are constantly updating our stock with the latest finds. Whilst we do not currently offer a book tracing service, we are always happy to hear from customers looking for a particular title, and may just be able to help. We specialise in out-of-print books - particularly paperbacks - and never cease to be amazed at what is no longer considered worth publishing! Many of our customers clearly share that view.
