(Rhodri not Tom)</p> <p>Also having read all 3 shortlisted books I would say Tom's deserved to win by far as the others were memoirs which didn't really touch upon the beauty of Wales as "The Claude Glass" does, read it and see for yourself.</p> <p><a href="http://www.tombullough.com">www.tombullough.com</a><br> <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/7488299.stm">http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/7488299.stm</a> </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://frenchpolish.blog.co.uk/2008/07/06/wales-book-of-the-year-4410147/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>booksculturewaleshttp://frenchpolish.blog.co.uk/2008/07/06/wales-book-of-the-year-4410147/#comments
