July 5[edit]

anecdotes[edit]

Hi,

I was wondering if you can recommend some anecdote-books, such as books about political anecdotes, military anecdotes, diplomatic anecdotes, entertainment anecdotes, and so forth.

thanks so much! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.228.214.5 (talk) 13:53, 5 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oxford University Press has published The Oxford Book of Literary Anecdotes, The Oxford Book of Military Anecdotes, The Oxford Book of Legal Anecdotes, The Oxford Book of Royal Anecdotes, Eurekas and Euphorias: The Oxford Book of Scientific Anecdotes, and perhaps others.

We have had an article on Dominic Barrett since 2006. -- ToE 19:04, 5 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Although, our article says he's from Cambridge, the OP says he's from Colchester (@OP - do you have a source for this?), and the one non-dead source from our article here says he's from Walton-on-the-Naze. Some confirmation and editing may be in order. Tevildo (talk) 20:17, 5 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Here's a reference for Colchester. Nothing for Cambridge as yet. Tevildo (talk) 20:30, 5 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
