Given the new atmosphere of peace in Ireland this book of monochrome photos of both North and South has a specially poignant relevance. The 23 year old Wylie has travelled the length and breadth of the Emerald Isle yet has chosen not to cover any of the turbulence in the North, concentrating instead on capturing the charm and character of the people and landscape. A fascinating work by a new talent, showing another side to the country.

Something of a niche product, this book will really only be of use to photographers thinking of branching into mainland Europe and is mainly directed at magazine work. However as such it should prove invaluable providing an insight into the various payment, copyright and legal positions within the larger countries.
