First written reactions from the public

                         Book One
The two of us were rather proud of what we thought was the height of possession, a set of Britannica Encyclopaedias, but your stupendous book has certainly put them in the shade.
            
Tennyson & Muriel Rodrigo, London, 5/11/01

Superb photos, such a command
of language, excellent layout, etc. The whole book oozes quality.
                                   Bob Atkinson, Edinburgh, 3/11/01

                               Book Two
a truly remarkable achievement of photography, scholarship, industry and ideas... photographs are a real triumph and delight while listening to the CD.
