5.0 out of 5 stars
A book to treasure, for both its photographs and its prose.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Searching the Thames: A Journey from the Source to the Sea (Hardcover)
Denis and Priscilla have produced a beautiful book. My knowledge of the Thames River was very limited, but now I have a much greater feel for the beauty and history encompassed in its entire length. Priscilla's natural down-to-earth style is easy to understand, and one can't help but be impressed by the amount of research (or her knowledge?) required, and her dedication to the cause. Denis' skills with large format photography, and his patience in capturing the images at the right time, are clearly exhibited. I am very pleased to own this book.

The most complete book on England's most famous river.,

This review is from: Searching the Thames: A Journey from the Source to the Sea (Hardcover)
Some books on the Thames are all about beautiful photography. Some are all about fine writing. In their 'Searching the Thames', Waugh and Waugh give us both. Superbly well. Denis Waugh's art is in transforming landcape photographs into arresting images and the supplement on the cameras, film, lenses and filters he used to transfer the picture in his mind's eye on to the page is an object lesson to all would-be snappers. Priscilla Waugh's writing is sometimes quirky, sometimes erudite, always accessible and never less than entertaining. Together, they shed new light on the places you know and their vision makes you want to visit the places you don't. 'Searching the Thames' deserves its place in your home; as a reference, as an art book, as the most complete book on England's most famous river.

It's the best landscape book I've ever seen.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Searching the Thames: A Journey from the Source to the Sea (Hardcover)
I love this book. It's so amazingly wonderful, the best book showing the mighty river Thames in all it's glory. It's the perfect book for anyone with an interest in the beauty of the English countryside and the wonder of the river. Both the photographs and the text are informative, evocative and magnificent. Buy it!
