Emerald Street’s The Reading Room features Wish You Were Here

‘3. Wish You Were Here
By Travis Elborough (Hodder & Stoughton, £8.99)Travis Elborough grew up in Worthing, a standard seaside town in West Sussex, and he makes a brilliant tour guide of the British seaside. Wish You Were Here takes in the fun that can be had with an ice cream and a pebble beach, windswept seaside nostalgia and the idea that the coast is often a place for those left on the fringes of society. Thoughtful and entertaining.’
