A fascinating book to keep by the bed for a quick dip into research. (I've heard it said that not every detail in this book is actually accurate, although I don't have enough knowledge of the Regency/Georgian/Victorian period to know for sure. Just a caveat in case you base all your research for your next blockbuster ROmance on this book alone.)
