Robert Robinson introduces a weekly look at hardbacks and paperbacks, fact and fiction, best-sellers and remainders.
This week's readers and writers: Beryl Bainbridge... 'I'm not sure that I ever write fiction. It's almost as if every character is based on me.' She talks about her books, including her latest novel Sweet William.
In the studio Claire Tomalin, Jill Tweedie and Margaret Powell discuss Sweet William together with Realms of Gold by Margaret Drabble, and the US bestseller Looking for Mr Goodbar by Judith Rossner.
