A new slant on the old familiar

I love reading guidebooks about Ireland. I was born there and lived there for 24 years before starting a long-term trans-atlantic commute. Reading what other people have to say about my home can be interesting. I rarely learn anything new and am often amazed at how someone else sees what, for me, was an everyday sight. This book is different. It's informative, easy to read, and well illustrated. It goes beyond the usual "Irish" pit stops and details some places that are definitely off the beaten track. One that really stands out is the Money Tree between Mountrath and Portlaoise. I must have passed it a hundred times and never noticed. If you only buy one book on Ireland, buy this one.

Beautiful book and very informative.

I took this book along on my recent trip to Ireland. I found so many wonderful sights that I usually would have missed. It was a little bulky for travel but I would never travel Ireland without it!!

Lots of information and great pictures

I lived in N.Ireland and would often use this as a guide. There is lots of history, useful information and pictures. Well layed out and thought out, great as a travel guide or fireside reading.
