Jolyon Gumbrell English journalist, born in 1967, Isle of Wight, United Kingdom. He lived, was educated and worked in Hertfordshire for many years before moving to Dorset. He is self taught and has experience of many different jobs. He has recently become known for his book review blog: Jolyon’s Review at www.jolyonsreview.co.uk as well as his political blog: Analysis & Investigation at www.jolyongumbrell.blog.co.uk.

The ethos behind Jolyon’s Review has been to tell the online readership about irreplaceable books before they are lost. In his own country many books are lost when public libraries are modernized. The replacement libraries and information centres no longer have space for the complete original collections, so books are either sold or thrown away. Unfortunately books which are out of print do not always get republished in another format, so they are then lost. However, Jolyon’s Review makes people aware of these books.
