50 best Cult books

In April 2008, the Telegraph newspaper in the UK announced their editors pick of the 50 best cult books. Here is the list.

Where we own the title, you will be able to click through to the catalogue and place your own hold. Where we don't hold the title, but another library does, there will be a note saying Ask library staff - you will need to ask library staff in person or by phone, to place the hold for you. Where the title is not available anywhere in our combined catalogue there will be a note saying place ILL, which will take you to the inter-library loan page, where you can place your request.
