The Orange Book is a book any political anorak will have heard of, but few will have read. It’s been out of print for some years, and thus most people rely on the media’s description of it as being right wing, and referring to some Lib Dems disparagingly as “Orange Bookers”, as accurate.

But since when have the media ever been accurate?

If you want to find out for yourself what is in this famous tome, the Editor of the book who isn’t David Laws is engaging in some shameless profiteering selling it on amazon, at above RRP to reflect the sudden and insistent demand, as any true market-driven Liberal would.

Or, if you are too tight to actually buy it, you could do worse than read Joe “Extra Bold” Otten’s chapter by chapter breakdown.
