This work offers a compilation of the most fascinating unusual and entertaining material from "The Countryman" magazine's long and prestigious history.

The official companion to series 1 and 2. Downton Abbey portrays a world of elegance and decadence, a world of duty and obedience and a world of romance and rivalry: this companion book, full of rich historical detail, takes fans deeper into that period than ever before. Step inside one of the most beautiful houses in Britain, past Carson the butler at the front door and into the grand hallway.

The Jaguar XJS was one of the finest grand touring cars of its era even if, when launched in 1975, it raised a few eyebrows. It survived the British Leyland days, Jaguar's privatisation and the takeover by Ford, and is now much in demand as an affordable and practical classic car. The summer of 2005 sees the 30th anniversary of the XJS, which is set to be marked by a number of celebratory events. This all-colour book, which covers the full road car and competition history, will fascinate all Jaguar enthusiasts.
