Description: From Raymond Briggs, the beloved and bestselling author of The Snowman, comes his first book in a decade, now in an updated edition with new columns and illustrations. Notes from the Sofa is a beautifully illustrated compilation of reflections on life and what it means to get older. Raymond dips into his past to remind us of scrumping apples, National Service, party lines on telephones, the torment of cinema organs and the endless obsession with laxatives, alongside his take on the absurdities of the modern world. This collection gives us warm and memorable sketches of Raymond's life now and reminds us why he is one of our best-loved storytellers.

Review: I, like many others, love Raymond Brigg's work. This book is a collection of articles he wrote on the subject of getting old, getting forgetful, suffering the injuries that crisps can give you and so on. Raymonds sense of humour shines out and you realise the character Father Christmas he drew and wrote is really Raymond with these articles. Its a joy to pick up and read a couple on the tube, bus, in a cafe wherever you are. Guaranteed to make you smile.

Review: This is a great subject and Raymond Briggs does it very nicely but, the paperback appears to be a cheap option. The paper is thin and the illustrations are all black and white. If you want a quality copy of this book, buy the hardback version and not the paperback
