Tony's Top Biographies (P3 of my reading list)
This list of books constitute those in my personal library of books about biographies, auto-biographies and tales of lives well-lived..
They are listed twice, by title and by author, to make it easier for you to search and use as a resource.
If you really want to enhance your knowledge and give yourself the edge, shortcut the list and go straight to my list of 'Must-read' books.
NB If a book has been recommended to you but you can't find it here, it may just be that I have not yet come across it. If you think it should be on here, then please contact me via this site with your recommendation.
