The Who’s Who of British Crime spans the whole twentieth century, and covers an enormous range of crimes and misdemeanours – by turns appalling, brilliant, gruesome and audacious.All the nation’s most famous wrongdoers are here, from the mystery of Lord Lucan to the Great Train Robbery, the Brinks-Mat robbers and Jeffrey Archer. And it’s not just the villains; some of the twentieth century’s top lawyers and police officers are included for the part they have played in upholding the principles of the law.An unsavoury roll call of the men and women whose misdeeds live on in the national memory, an exploration of some of our most notorious unsolved cases and a celebration of the advances made in the fight against crime, this guide tracks the changing face of criminal activity over 100 years.

Independent Publishers Group: British books on British culture, places and food with Character, Curated for You

Independent Publishers Group has earned affection for books on British culture, places and food that bring a distinctly British or Irish note to daily life. These are pieces chosen for use as much as display, with texture, colour and practical detail doing most of the talking.

The Heritage of Independent Publishers Group
Built over generations, the reputation of Independent Publishers Group rests on consistency and a recognisable design language. Styles have shifted over time, yet the underlying idea remains: make useful things with enough character to become familiar favourites. That approach still feels relevant.

Signature Pieces from the Range
Featured in the curated range at Best of British NBPT, the A Short History of British Architecture brings the brand’s point of view into focus. A Short History of British Architecture has tactile, gift-ready appeal, while the The Jane Austen Files offers a second expression of the same character—something to hold, wear, pour from or place where it can be enjoyed often. Both are carefully selected for quality and style; Best of British NBPT does not make or design them.

Why Independent Publishers Group Resonates with Shoppers
There is warmth in choosing Independent Publishers Group: the books on British culture, places and food feel connected to craft, place and everyday ritual. They suit milestone gifts, small thank-yous and personal treats without needing a grand occasion. Picture a bookshop afternoon followed by tea, and the attraction becomes quite clear.
