What a fabulous book - and please indulge me in an ex book-buyers delight when I say that the whole feel and look and weight of the book itself is perfect....
and the BINDING!! It's a lovely handful of book.
It's also a lovely read. Essentially, a travelog of Harry Potter-inspired places and items around Britain with Steve's fun and honest commentary as he searches and re-searches things Harry Potter in the UK.
I think it would appeal a great deal to non-UK residents to see the sorts of areas and building and so on that might have inspired the books' background.
For those of us for whom these places are more everyday and familiar, it is a lovely reminder of the fun of discovering the Wizarding World and learning to look for the weird and wonderful amongst the everyday. There are loads of photos and the Scottish section is horribly nostalgic and makes me want to cry a lot for the fact of not being there and living amongst those hills any more. I had a fabulous adventure to take photos of the area where Hogwarts is supposedly sort of situated and I'm so glad to be reading someone else's madness on a tour of Harry Potter.

I just want to pack my bags, hop on a train and go where Steve went. He's got a way of describing things that makes you wanna go there.
It's not only a great book for those who haven't been to Britain, as the descriptions are very informative, but those who live in Britain will no doubt enjoy recognising the locations they've visited and be inspired to visit those they haven't already.
Steve also interweaves little tidbits about the Harry Potter books that make you go "hang on a sec ...".
If you're into Potter, buy this book. If you're not into Potter but are into Britain, buy it anyway.

I love how someone who is infectiously enthusiastic about a subject wears off on you. You feel almost giddy with joy. Steve's joy in the Harry Potter world drips off the page and makes you want to go along for the journey. If you are an anglophile or "Potterhead" you will love this.
