Testimonials for The City of London Freeman’s Guide
Your book is the Wizard’s Guide to the Land of Oz!
Have received and read your excellent little book. It is just what I needed when passing on London Livery background information. I will certainly recommend the book to friends and colleagues.
Having become a freeman and Liveryman a few years ago (and having done my homework), I thought I was fairly well informed. Not as I should have been! This book is a true education and a marvellous guide to all you need to know about the City, its Liverys and traditions. Well worth reading.
I received the Magna Carta edition of The City of London Freeman’s Guide in the post today. Superb!
Whether you are new to the livery movement or simply want to learn more, I can’t think of a better place to start.
An excellent sojourn into the often confusing yet fascinating world that is the City of London
Well researched, well presented and fascinating. This book gives an insider’s view of a unique institution: The City of London.
It’s a most useful, informative and entertaining book and arguably should be available for all new Freemen.
On your first book… I agree with your other fans that it is a success!
I have just finished reading your guide and it is superb.
I found the Guide an easy and most informative read, and we will definitely be giving it to all our new liverymen
I wish this valuable document had been around when I first started getting involved in the City. Your book is charming as well as informative.
A good guide to the City of London Livery Companies and the City. Packed full of historical facts and practical advice, such as what to wear to a formal dinner. It is neither too long or too short and links to other useful information sources . I would recommend this to anyone who is interested in the City, but mainly those who are applying to join a Livery Company.
The Guide is a veritable vade mecum of information which ‘earths’ just what it means to be a Freeman of the City of London. Crammed with useful information regarding the City, the Corporation, the Livery and ancillary associations.
