Product Description
Product Description
Containing over 300 photographs of the 'hidden' Coventry and highly illustrated throughout, this book takes you on a visual tour of the City. "Coventry: Hidden in Plain Sight" is a book showcasing the hidden side of Coventry - the side that people walk past every day and don't see, or have tuned out of sight. From the splendor of the new St. Michael's Cathedral, to the undercroft of the original St Mary's Priory, and from modern sculpture to worn stonework, this unique book takes you on a visual tour of Coventry city centre. The only colour photobook of the modern Coventry, "Coventry: Hidden in Plain Sight" has over 300 photographs taken by the author who has lived in Coventry for eight years and along with the captions builds up a usually unnoticed view of Coventry. The book also provides a look at Coventry for tourists who may not have the time to see everything that the city has to offer, and provides them with a lasting reminder of their visit, as well as providing high quality images for them to show friends and family, lasting much longer than a postcard. In addition, many people who have lived in Coventry, and current residents, will find something new and interesting in the book - something that's been hidden in plain sight.

As a Coventrian, and having lived in the city for over 60 years, I thought I knew pretty much all there was to know about my city, but here are photographs of parts of buildings and architectural features I had never seen before. The sort of details you walk past every day and never notice are here beautifully photographed.
All those who think Coventry is an ugly city should get a copy of this book!. Well done Clare Selly.

This book is simply great. It lays bare the myth that Coventry is a dump. There are jewels around this city. Jewels that Clare has found and recorded for us all to see. So whether you are a history nut or are simply walking around the city as a tourist this book is a must.
Go buy it... and see what the Luftwaffe and the subsequent town planners left for us to see of this once wonderful medieval city. The discovery is worth the trip and in this book Clare has left many a clue. Read and then go see for yourself.
