Why offer a taster for a book you don’t stock?

The « selection » on audible is becoming worse and worse, clogged up with true crime, crappy US trash, confessional rubbish and people reading their own self-published epics. Why promote this when none of Schama’s books except his history of Britain are even available ??!

Schama is always interesting

Fascinating interview with Simon Schama. He is always witty and perceptive. I enjoy these Audible interviews as an extra benefit of membership, even though they are short.
