The Lockdown Library

The Lockdown Library

Plenty of readers have written in with suggestions of books to add to David McGrogan’s Lockdown Sceptics’ Library. I’m not going to name them because they didn’t say whether they were happy to be identified or not (for the most part). If you have any additional suggestions, please email them to me at LockdownSceptics@gmail.com and put “Lockdown Library” in the subject header. I’ve added these books below David’s piece.
