Editorial Reviews:

James Herriot lived and worked in North Yorkshire, England, for over fifty years, first and foremost as a vet, but in his later years as one of the world's most successful authors. Twenty years ago, the bestselling book, James Herriot's Yorkshire combined hundreds of color photos with a moving essay highlighting the places he loved so much - from the lush valley meadows in the springtime to the remote villages during the depths of winter. Now, two decades later, the Herriot estate has authorized the creation of a new book on Yorkshire that matches the original in both charm and grace. Complete with an introduction by James Herriot's son, Jim Wight, James Herriot's Yorkshire Revisited brings together never-before-seen photos with evocative excerpts from Herriot's eight major works.

Summary: Nice Pictures of Yorkshire
Comment: This book contains photos of Yorkshire in conjunction with text drawn from Herriot's books. If you are a fan of Herriot, you probably would enjoy the book. Since it is a bargain price, it might make a nice gift item as well--especially for someone who has traveled in Yorkshire. Mine came without that tell tale black "bargain stripe" on the spine.

I found one drawback to be that the photos are not identified as to location except in the back of the book. The logic behind this is that they are supposed to evoke the atmosphere of what was said in the books (which may not have been a specific place) rather than a specific location. OK, then why put the locations in the back? Looking back there to identify the locations was cumbersome.
