External Reviews
"Glossy and beguiling, cheerful and engaging . . . a very good guidebook . . . also a coffee table classic." - BBC Countryfile Magazine.
"A brilliant book, thoughtfully arranged so it is equally perfect whether you dip in to it as a coffee table book for a bit of beautiful day dreaming, or if you are researching for an intended visit. They say a picture paints a thousand words, and the stunning photography in the book is only complemented by the evocative descriptions used by the author describing in fantastic detail the islands, the routes and the specialities of every place. The passion quite obviously felt in the researching and writing of this wonderful book shines through. I love it. I've barely put it down since the day it dropped on the door mat.
I'm grateful that it came in time for a break from work so I didn't need to drag myself away, and could instead be transported to any one of these fantastic islands. Buy it, read it and if you can, try out some of the recommendations." - Amazon Review.
