Yesterday's editing research:
first transatlantic flights by women
Battle(s) of Arras
what colour Cambridge blue actually is
William Joynson-Hicks
selling plater horse races
1920s fad for grafting slices of chimp testicle onto humans to produce testosterone
Sybil Thorndike
19thC Marriage Acts

It's a VERY funny book.
