Lord Ramsbotham Has Launched Two New Waterside Press Titles

24 September 2010

Guest of Honour Lord Ramsbotham returned to the scene (well, very nearly) of his infamous 1996 prison inspection walk-out to launch two excellent new books, and this time we can all agree that the surroundings were in fact rather pleasant – our thanks go to the Islington Arts Factory.
