Sobre IBD

After the runaway success of Nearly Off the Record – the Archives of an Archivist – and encouraged by tweets from President Trump, a government ban in North Korea, and its short-listing for the National Obscurity Prize, Berwick Coates has consented to bow to popular demand and produce this collection of yet more gems from the history of West Buckland School, where he works as the School Archivist.It is hoped that the subtitle – the Return of the Archivist – will add a welcome touch of swashbuckle and Errol Flynn to its appeal.It is easier to understand than its predecessor, each entry rarely goes beyond two pages or three syllables, and there are yet more illustrations.  It is admirably constructed to be easy to recognise (it looks just like the other one), easy to dip into, and even easier to hurl aside when the interest flags.

  • On Teaching
    Berwick Coates
    Berwick Coates found it something of a shock when he worked out that he had taught over 40,000 lessons. However, with a record like that, it seemed not unreasonable to suppose that he might have a thing or two to say.Among others is the great truth that the classroom is not a democracy, a salon, a debating chamber, or a symposium; it is an arena, which is pervaded by a semi-per...
