Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Waste of Money with several factual errorsodd layout, very patchy coverage, a complete waste of money. I spotted several very basic mistakes (there are probably many more) on key things such as train routes, whether a town has a station etc! Was it edited at all?! Rating: - Waste of MoneyThere is so much more that this book could have been. It needs a lot more maps, perhaps train routes, prices of season tickets etc. As it is I don't think this book will be any help in determining an area to move to, let alone a village. Rating:  - A highly informative read!My husband and I had been looking to move out of London for some time, but were not sure where exactly: we wanted somewhere quieter and greener, but not too cut off from our friends or his work. This book has proved unbelievably useful in our quest to find a house, raising points we had not thought about, and going into superb detail on a wide variety of topics - from schools to types of property. A year on, I can safely say that without this book, we would not have found our lovely village! Rating: - Disappointing - could have been so much betterThis looked to be the perfect book to guide us towards likely areas to live outside London, but was very disappointing - disconnected internet quotes and cliches. It doesn't for example include a map (would have been so easy and helpful) o r a diagram of a train route, and doesn't consistenly mention which of the small villages have shops/post offices etc. Lots of the school information is just cut and pasted from the websites of local authorities.
