'Advice to Gentlemen: Quotations for Civilised Chaps' contains very little information whatsoever on etiquette or correct form. It will not tell you how to eat peas with a fork, how to introduce a lady mayor to a Clerk of Works or what to do with your hat during the playing of the Botswanan national anthem. (Answer: remove it.) It will, however, give you the best quotations on manners for gentlemen from writers between the seventeenth and twentieth centuries (including Lord Chesterfield, William Makepeace Thackeray and William Hazlitt).

Described by Alaska Airlines as a “hop, skip and a jump along Southeast Alaska’s coast”, their ‘Milk Run’ is a flight like no other. It provides a lifeline service to remote communities cut-off from the road network. Originally flown by bush pilots, it now sees three scheduled daily flights in each direction, between them serving nine communities from Seattle in the south, to Anchorage in the north. Running the Milk is the story of my journey on these flights.
