Armed with the knowledge that this is one take amongst many on “England”, the reader can relax, aware this is a doomed mission from the outset and look to see what insights and forgotten treasures Mankowski’s mudlarking has thrown up. Taking snippets of various journals from 1999 to the present day, there are moments of joy, humour and, of course, real darkness.

This book is about celebrating the unsung, and Mankowski has a knack for succinctly articulating what makes each one so special. We offer great value books on a wide range of subjects and we have grown steadily to become one of the UK's leading retailers of second-hand books.Theres some interesting scribbles in there, but unfortunately just not worth the effort it takes to come across them. As well as music, Mankowski draws from art, film, architecture and politics, showing the moments at which artists like Tricky and Goldfrapp altered our sense of a sometimes green but sometimes unpleasant land.

The recipient is Jake Fior who co-produced the successful single ''For Lovers'' which Doherty released with Wolfman, and who can briefly be spotted in the video which accompanied the release. As well as early versions of song lyrics, the Books of Albion often contain writings or drawings from various other people, whether Doherty’s close friends or one-time acquaintances, including Carl Barat, John Hassall, Mick Jones, Wolfman, Kate Moss, Mik Whitnall, Jake Fior, and the Queens of Noize. We want our comments to be a lively and valuable part of our community - a place where readers can debate and engage with the most important local issues. The rituals of 'what we do on our holidays', funerals, stag nights and 'lingerie parties' are all full of 'unselfconsious' folk customs.This book will appeal to all with an interest in Green Men and to art historians looking for a reliable study of this fascinating decorative motif. Excerpts from Explore Folklore can be found at Foamy Custard, a Web site for folklore, mythology, cultural studies and related disciplines. Ultimately, this book is like everything else Pete Doherty has ever done - at times brilliant, at others annoying, but never less than interesting. Started off legible, coherrant and engaging, but alas, as he gets deeper into the drugs, looses all of those things. A candid and compelling collection of the poems, drawings, personal reflections, lyrics and photographic collages by lyricist, singer and musician Pete Doherty, charting his voyage from Albion to Arcadia.

Albion Books offers literature of different genres in English: ELT (English language teaching) books, business literature, technical literature, scientific literature, art books, illustrated books, courses, grammar book, dictionaries, methodological literature, atlases, maps, guide-books. Through his snapshots of cultural history, Mankowski explores the form and shape of English identity to reveal who we are, who we've been, and who we'd like to be. Mankowski really does dig deep and refers to scenes such as the mid-nineties Romo scene previously found in clubs such as Camden’s Club Skinny along with overlooked and underrated artists such as Patrick Wolf and Gazelle Twin. Mankowski offers an emergent nostalgia for the future that rips through the strictures of class identity that we are still wrestling with today. In the shadows of our countryside there lives a fairy race, older than humans, and not necessarily friendly to them.There are a few bits of good poetry and some song lyrics but most of it is just scribbles and ramblings, sometimes when he is off his head. Doherty's handwriting is barely legible and the amount of work I had to put into deciphering the page left me frustrated and gave me no encouragement to continue forward.
