I’ve done a review of the new book, “Why Vote Liberal Democrat” (edited by Danny Alexander), over on Liberal Democrat Voice:

Danny Alexander may be the main name on it, but he is the editor – and the book is a collection of twenty-six short essays plus a foreword from Nick Clegg. Many of the authors are also people who, in their different ways, are well known and respected with particular audiences outside the ranks of party membership and helpers.

Floella Benjamin and Colin Firth probably have the most public star value, but contributions from people such as the former Director of Public Prosecutions, Sir Ken Macdonald, friend of Stephen Lawrence (and now Lib Dem councillor) Duwayne Brooks and Janis Sharpe, mother of Gary McKinnon, all have appeal to particular audiences and add up to a welcome picture of a party drawing broad support from people who know what they are talking about.

Danny Alexander and the team have put together a book that is more varied and interesting therefore than the other party titles in the series and deserve congratulations for that.

What then of the content?
