I've always enjoyed Tyler Brulee's column in the FT and that has driven me to buy Monocle occasionally - indeed I have the July/August issue on my coffee table in California right now. I love their travel guides to HKG and NYC - they significantly improved recent visits.

But I really did not like him when I heard him present at a book signing at Daunts in London - he came across as smug and arrogant.

Incidentally the price is €12 not €13, but it's only £7.
