«This work combines two of Bill Bryson's best-loved books and demonstrates his take on life — from either side of the pond. The books, «Notes from a Small Island» and «Notes From a Big Country», went on to become major bestsellers. «The Complete Notes» combines these two popular books into one volume. Written in the form of bite-sized essays, both books are gently humorous as they highlight the idiosyncracies of the USA and Great Britain.»
