Reviews in all the major British newspapers:
From the main biography page of this site:
Jasper: "Then, with John Ziman, I wrote Camford Observed, a funny book that describes Oxford and Cambridge to Americans and other foreigners who might have trouble understanding its customs. It caused quite a stir, and people like Anthony Powell" (writer 1905-2000) "and Hugh Trevor-Roper" (historian 1914-2003) "reviewed it. It was the busiest year of my life – Jean's first show and our first son." From Anthony Powell's review in the Telegraph: "Sometimes very funny indeed, and knowledgeable, without being in the least esoteric." From Hugh Trevor-Roper's review in the Sunday Times: "Full of sound judgments and happy aphorisms. Beautifully written." H.C. Dent's review in the Financial Times: "Will infuriate, exasperate, excite and delight." The Review in The Times (no byline): "So good. In places deliciously funny." Michael Young's review in The Guardian: "A valuable guide to the two universities. Well informed, well argued, and irritating."
