You and Yours

Available for over a year

Join Winifred Robinson as she examines the measures that petting farms are taking to prevent ecoli outbreaks. Plus, what makes you buy a book? The recommendation of a friend, the cover or perhaps the blurb on the back? We'll speak to one publisher who says his industry is failing to make use of this marketing tool and an author whose book was dressed up as chick lit when it was anything but. And, is it fair to make disabled people pay double to go to the theatre? This is often the case for those who have to take a carer. Now a scheme's being launched to make things fairer. We'll have that and the latest attempts PR companies are making to cash in on the tennis at Wimbledon.
