Chris McManus uncovers the secrets of a collection of six thousand dusty old postcards which turned up in a forgotten cupboard in the Psychology Department of University College London. 

It started with two medium-sized cardboard boxes.

When Richard Rawles of the Department of Psychology of University College London opened them he found 6000 postcards which from the postmarks dated from August 1953.

They were addressed to the BBC Television Service and the search was on to find out how they came to be there and what information they contained.

Audio books, unlike ordinary books, are a lot more useful and time efficient in the long run. To sit down and read a book can be a very enjoyable experience but unfortunately only when time permits. A lot of us therefore find us putting aside the books for more pressing matters, with audio books however you can do both. Audio books give you the freedom to listen anywhere, just by simply putting it on a MP3 player. For most book fanatics space is a real issue and usually their houses end up looking like a library.
