5.0 out of 5 stars More than a travel guide, 13 Nov 2002
This review is from: The Greek-o-File - Volume 1 (Paperback)
Greek-o-File is unique. It's more than a travel guide, it's a total Greek experience. I can't think of any other publication that combines so many aspects of Greece between its covers. You only have to read the piece titled Disaster & Dichotomy, in the Greek Life section of this book, to realise how deeply committed both Sylvia & Terry Cook are to all thing Greek. In short this is a book which I know I will pick up time and time again

5.0 out of 5 stars Greek-o-File Heaven !!, 18 July 2003
By 
Nige Pamenter (Cambridge, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Greek-o-File - Volume 1 (Paperback)
The newsletter-style of anecdote and subtle observation works brilliantly here in book form.
You feel close to, and interested in, the different people who travel around this magnificent country and their various escapades. It also conveys the wonderful friendliness of the Greek people and their,(sometimes),gloriously frustrating ways!
The author also conveys a natural warmth and affinity for, and with, the reader. The light writing style easily allows for dipping in & out,each piece being concise yet enlightening. A printed meze perhaps??!
Undoubtedly, my favourite Greek book, anyone who yearns to learn about some of the quieter areas of Greece will enjoy this - highly reccommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars More of the same, but that's no bad thing!, 31 Dec 2003
By 
Mr. N. S. O. Grady "Niall OGrady" (birmingham) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
For those of us who devoured Volume 1 it was inevitable we would want Volume 2. We needed to know how Sylvia & Terry would progress, or even if, they would progress, with the rebuilding of their Greek island home. Within the covers of Volume 2 we also found recipes to bring Greece to our dining table, Kephalonian meat pie (with meat!) sounds as though it will be delightful. There are wine reviews. There are tales of the Greek and English Social Security systems and poetry and more. And for the gardeners amongst us some ideas on how to turn our humble patio and veg plot into something more Mediterranean. All this and Myths and legends too....An Excellent work which conveys the love of Greece from both the authors and all their contributors
