About the Size of It is a hugely entertaining history of traditional weights and measures that will make you look at your everyday world in a completely different way . . .
'A full and convincing account of why our well-tried and trusted traditional measures make human sense' Alexander McCall Smith
'His direct, engaging conversational prose is a delight to read... inspirational' Andrew Roberts
'Absolutely masterly. Lucid and wise and touching and absolutely right' Jilly Cooper
