The Anglo Files

The Anglo Files: A Field Guide to the British by Sarah Lyall | 2008 First Edition, First Printing

A witty and perceptive look at modern Britain from journalist Sarah Lyall, written after years spent observing British life as an American living in London.

In The Anglo Files, Lyall turns her attention to the customs, contradictions and eccentricities of the British, exploring everything from class and politics to drinking, manners, emotional restraint and the peculiarities of everyday life. Part social history, part cultural commentary and part affectionate satire, it is an entertaining portrait of Britain at the beginning of the twenty first century.

This copy is the First Edition, First Printing, published by W. W. Norton in 2008. The copyright page states “First Edition” and carries the complete number line beginning with 1.

An appealing addition to a collection of modern British cultural history, travel writing, social commentary or books about Britain.
