Interesting 'Little' Read,
This review is from: London's Lost Rivers (Paperback)
From the author of Derelict London (the book and its popular website) comes Paul Talling's second foray into publishing-London's Lost Rivers. Like its predecessor it's rather small in demension but large in information which details the histories of London's former riverscape. The text is concise but interesting and laiden with plentiful colour photographs. An excellent read and a good accompliment to all things that is London.

A good addition to a London collection,
This review is from: London's Lost Rivers (Paperback)
A nice little book well-illustrated with many (often quirky) photos, and the author has not neglected some of the more out of the way brooks and streams as well as including the better known lost rivers. If you have Barton's Lost Rivers of London, you should get this too to keep it company on the bookshelf.

Nice book if you can read it,
By Smallstar (Teddington, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: London's Lost Rivers (Paperback)
This is an informative little book, a good companion to The Lost Rivers of London. The maps showing where the lost rivers ran are interesting, although as they tend not to identify bridges on the Thames near where the lost rivers join the Thames, they can be a little confusing.The main problem with the book is that it is printed in pale blue ink on black shiny paper. The shiny black paper makes the photos, and there are lots of photos, look lovely, but the text is quite hard to read. It's OK in daylight, so if you have the book in your bag on a walk, it is useful, but difficult under artificial light. So no reading this book on long winter evenings when you plan your summer walks. The print is also quite small and someone has decided to start each new paragraph at the place where the the last word of the previous paragraph ended. Each paragraph is also indented, and all this makes the text uninviting. The design of this book rather spoiled my enjoyment of it. Having to move a book around so the text is readable does not enhance the reading experience.
