I am so pleased that the "This Is" series of books by Miroslav Sasek are back in print. Elsewhere, the comments on Sasek's work have been "only good for children up to 3 years!" Well, I'm in my fifties and I intend to collect the ones I most enjoyed as a child, such as This Is San Francisco and This Is Rome. In an age of electronic wizardry Sasek's books stand out as a reminder of a time when books were the chief form of entertainment and education.
Sasek's art and wit are truly original and unique. He manages to take the reader on a journey through both the landmarks of his subject and the everday minutiae that makes up a country and its culture. Each book is a remarkable achievement. It must be remembered that the ... Read More: >>More Details |

Casing hands have a reputation for embellishing the truth.
They also enjoy macho posturing - hence the side trip to Afghanistan, a country that has nothing to do with the oil industry. Don't believe every word of it. I work in the oil industry and was able to second guess the outcome of many escapades. >>More Details |

I totally disagree with the "review" that said that this book was suitable for children up to the age of 10 only.
Although my children are only six and nine and both hugely enjoy all the Sasek books, my husband and I also fully endorse the content and pictures, old-fashioned as it may be; moreover, whoever we have shown the book to, young and old, have instantly said, "I simply must have that book" or "I simply must get that book for so and so, etc." Some of the out of date factual information has been updated in the back of the book, and so what, any way? - what a treat to see the world how it was fifty years or so earlier, a lot more picturesque than it is now, and therein lies its charm. I would certainly prefer this book to be given ... Read More: >>More Details |

I purchased this book on a whim. In fact, I purchased it even before we had the trip planned. I almost forgot to bring it along when we did go. But my 4 year old daughter didn't. She seemed to like the illustrations. So when we did come upon the first sight that she recognized from her book (the coloseum) she became very animated. It made a huge impact on my daughters involvement in our family travel. She was no longer just a passenger along for the ride...she was involved in the trip and anticipated seeing things that she recognized from HER book.
The book also had an intriguing description of a key hole on top of the Aventine hill with a great view. We decided to hunt it down and were pleasantly surprised. It was a secret gem that ... Read More: >>More Details |

I taught George Miller a lot of things when we worked together in Leeds in the eighties,but writing books was not one of them! His first book,"One Night at the Palace" about the referee,Alan Wilkie who was unfortunate enough to be in charge of the football match when Eric Cantona kicked one of the crowd, reached the top of the Sunday Times best selling sport books list and was an excellent read. The Amarillo book exceeds even this in its readability as a fun and informative travel book as well as a well researched study of the American music scene.
5000+ miles, 11 States in 29 days! Well worth the effort and highly recommended as an`unputdowndable`read. George has since been asked to front a travel/music series for ITV. Good luck to him!Next book ... Read More: >>More Details |

As a Hong Kong resident for the past thirteen years I was delighted to see this beautiful book re-released. Hong Kong has changed greatly since it was first published and yet there are so many wonderful features of Hong Kong life depicted beautifully in the book which still exist. There is an update at the back of the book to show how Hong Kong has changed but in essence it is a celebration of this wonderful, vibrant territory and a great meditation on the fusion of old and new; east and west.
