[QUOTE="Magnetoman, post: 117061, member: 2806"] Further on this topic, I've now found that various publishers of "modern" books (i.e. post-2000) located in the England portion of the UK (e.g. London) use four forms of identification for the country of publication. In no particular order these are: England UK Great Britain nothing beyond the post code It appears from this that the English have unresolved identity issues. I wonder if the publishers that list only the postal code actually know what country they're in (the UK) but are afraid to state it for fear of offending potential customers who have yet to come to terms with the recent formation of the UK (in 1922) and insist they live in another country (e.g. England).
