"In
January one of this year's highlights first came to my attention.
It was Barack Obama's 'Dreams from My Father'.
Further non-fiction which is worth the purchase price is the
beautifully-illustrated 'William Daniell's Isle of Skye
and Raasay: An Artist's Journey in 1815'. What a little
gem, to enjoy not only the text and travel details but also
the lovely reproductions of so many well-known prints."

"...one
of the delights of this book is the inclusion of magnified details
from the published prints - intricate pictures within pictures
revealing a whole new layer of pictorial information often previously
unnoticed."
