It is perhaps best known for the Battle of Bosworth Field, at which Richard III was defeated, and for its role during the English Civil War.

	Memories of Leicestershire Memories of Leicestershire takes a pictorial walk through the streets and changing scenes of the county, evoking fond reminiscences of the way we lived our lives in days gone by. Taken from the archives of the Leicester Mercury, the photographs contained in this book provide ready reminders of landmarks long since demolished, of streets startlingly familiar even today and moments in time consigned to our memories. Nostalgia forms an important part of the Leicester Mercury with its growing stable of products, from the daily Mr Leicester page, the regular Moments in Time supplements, and now Memories of Leicestershire. This book in pictures provides an evocative snapshot of historic Leicestershire and cannot fail to waken memories of fond places and forgotten buildings. Price: £6.79 Publication: December 2003
	The Best of Leicestershire (The Best of ... S.) Leicestershire is advertised as 'a beautiful county at the heart of England, a county where timeless villages really do exist and market towns actually live up to the name. Leicestershire is for those who love the great outdoors...and those with a passion for English history and heritage. It is a county with an unsurpassed variety of places to visit...and the place to experience sporting excellence as well as arts and entertainment second to none.' In Trevor Hickman's new book Leicestershire's fascinating history is the theme, but as in his two previous 'Best of ...' titles, 'The Best of Leicestershire' focuses on the sights that can be seen today. Every feature, village, event, business and town that is described he has visited in the last few months. Old and new photographs are blended together with informative captions and information for visitors. Visitors to this delightful county, together with residents, will welcome Trevor Hickman's new book - an attractive souvenir of the true heart of England. Price: £10.49 Publication: April 24, 2003
