Good Chaps
The 'Good Chaps' theory holds that those who rise to power in the UK will almost always be trustworthy public servants - good chaps who can be trusted to follow the rules and do the right thing. It's only when bad chaps take office that things go wrong, and our unwritten codes of conduct are powerless to stop the sleaze.Yet Britain appears to be run by a clique of bad chaps. Our politics and institutions are now awash with financial scandals, cronyism and a sure feeling that politicians can't be trusted. With a general election looming, what can we do about it?In Good Chaps, Simon Kuper chronicles how corruption set in across public life, from oligarchs bribing MPs to donors who can buy party policy.The chumocracy may be about to end, but will our politicians behave like good chaps again?

Two Spanish Verse Chap-Books
A facsimile edition of two probably unique, and undescribed before this books publication in 1969, early sixteenth-century Spanish verse chap-books, printed at Burgos and Salamanca between 1510 and 1520. Mr Norton and Professor Wilson provide a substantial introduction on their literary or bibliographical importance, and a supplementary checklist of Spanish chap-books before 1521. The first of the chap-books has four leaves, and gives important early printed forms of six ballad texts. The second has six leaves and is a nonsense poem. The first is interesting to students of folk-literature; both illustrate the survival of medieval topics and writing styles, and the mingling of oral and printed traditions in early sixteenth-century Spain.
