Review # 1 was written on 2009-03-20 00:00:00 Dave Simms 4.5 STARS. This is the first of Sasek's books I've read, though I've known about them ever since seeing them tantalizingly displayed (full price, alas!) at a bookstore in Ashland, OR last summer. I'm certainly going to read more!!! This is like a mini-travel guide or illustrated snapshots of Ireland in condensed form--nods to people and places, country and city, restaurants and relics. I love that it feels at once wonderfully, warmly nostalgic and yet still inspires contemporary dreams of the country. I think I would have liked it even more if I'd already BEEN to Ireland and thus could see how he adapted all the famous places into his illustrations and contents (can't WAIT to get my hands on THIS IS LONDON!)

Review # 2 was written on 2016-03-25 00:00:00 Ulrich Horstmann 4.25 stars Of all the books in this series...this is the one I want to go back and study and see real pictures! I could be that I am 29% Irish, It could be that I am planning a major Trip to Ireland but I really enjoyed it! I love Ireland and the 24 hours I spent in Dublin and County Wicklow just wet my appetite! It could be that we just had St Patrick's day but I am taking this one home to look at! :-)
