A very interesting and enjoyable book. Like many histories, that of the Black Cab reflects the changes in the UK as a whole over the years. The origin of words such as Cab and taxi, for example, are fascinating asides which add to the rich history of The Black Cab. Well written by Alf Townsend, it's a social and economic commentary as much as anything else. The period photographs and little information snippets help to make the book what it is; excellent. I thoroughly recommend the book to everyone – be they historians, cab fans, or simply people like me who just like a good read (and who happens to own an old London cab – for my dogs).
