Product Description
Review
' A comprehensive and and absorbing survey of the enrie canal network of the British Isles '
--Canals & Rivers (June 2009)
"Anyone with an interest in Britain's canals, as well as those who travel them by boat, will find this an attractive and engaging addition to the coffee-table."
--Yachting & Boating World (April 2009)
'The text could be in Cyrillic script and you wouldn't feel short-changed. The book is lovely. Try to get someone to buy it for you, because it probably isn't going to turn up in the second-hand book section behind the Town Hall in the near future.'
--Berkhamsted Living (Spring 2010)
'There's a sense of easy pace that suits the book ideally to its subject. You can imagine reading it while sprawled on a narrowboat making leisurely progress along the canal.'

Lots of great detail about all the main canals extant in the country, including maps and landscape and other features interest.
Text small - could be a problem for some.
Bit disappointed it didn't include more lost canals, and canalised waterways e.g. of Eastern England as they're all a valuable part of the history, and one might say it's not a 'complete gude' without them. But overall still an excellent book and very welcome addition.

A very valuable handbook for canal lovers, beautifully illustrated. The only niggle is that it is not always clear which end of the canal the writer is starting from.

In short, an excellent book both easy to read with excellent illustrations. Well worth purchasing.
