Neil Taylor, Chris Patrick, ...

Bradt Travel Guides, 2006

Incredibly useful, well-designed book!
I took a two-week trip through the Baltic states in August 2007 and, thanks to this practical book, we had a wonderful time! The hotel and attraction descriptions were especially useful for planning the trip and were well-organized for easy reference. Once we arrived, the maps made it easy to find our way on-the-fly, and the restaurant listings helped us to pick winners every time. The walking ...

The Garden Lover's Guide to France (Garden Lover's Guides to)1 review
Patrick Taylor

Princeton Architectural Press, 1998

useful information, especially about the North of France
I have been looking at a number of books about gardens in France, and this is the only one that I could use to plan a trip. The coverage is very good, though the vast majority are in the Paris region (Ile de France). Unlike, say, "the Secret Gardens of France", the gardens listed here are open to the public. The notes on each garden are concise. You will need another book if you want to learn ...

The sky beyond1 review
Patrick Gordon Taylor

Ballantine Books, 1970

As good as Fate is the Hunter.
One of the best aviation books I have read. Up there with Fate is the Hunter. The author describes his life in flying fighters in WWI, pioneering Pacific air routes and flying the sublime Spitfire in such a way that he takes you on the flight with him. A masterpiece.

A fascinating thriller of a book
For a British soldier, (Lieutenant) under the services of the Nizam of Hyderabad in the 19th century India, turned writer Philip Meadows Taylor certainly proves his prowess as a writer through this book 'Congessions of a Thug', no wonder the book turned out to be a 'best seller' in 19th century England. The main character AMEER ALI comes to life at the outset and the story of this 'Thugee' ...

Pray for Us Sinners1 review
Patrick Taylor

Insomniac Press, 2000

Another story about the "troubles"
I have read a number of books about the conflict in Northern Irleand, some fiction, some not. The best story I have read is "Field of Blood" by Gerald Seymour. However "Prya for Us Sinners" is a realistic protrayal of the devious ways all parties to the conflict operate. It is a short novel, and quickly read. The author shows that there are really no "good guys" in this battle, and trust is ...

Gardening with Roses: A Practical and Inspirational Guide1 review
Patrick Taylor

Timber Press, 2000

Good book for selecting old roses
This little book (paperbound and measuring only 8"x5") is a very good tool for selecting old roses for your garden. The author is from England so you might want to consult other books to see if a particular rose will grow well in your region. However, the advice this author gives is highly worthwhile. He covers over 200 roses (arranged as "Bush" roses and "Climbing" roses) and devotes 2 lengthy ...
  
  











  



  
An Irish Country Doctor14 reviews

Forge Books/St. Martin's Press, 2007

An Irish Country Doctor
For me this book was an easy, quick, read that I could hardly put down. The dry, witty, humor gave me many laughs. I especially liked watching the relationship develop between the old, established, doctor and the young, new doctor. A very good read that I have passed on to others.

Sopwith Scout 73091 review
Patrick Gordon Taylor

Cassell, 1968

Wind in the Wires...but not a panorama...
Sopwith Scout is a wonderful read about the adventures of a R.F.C. pilot in 1917 in the air wars on the Western Front. Taylor writes with confidence and humility, true to that tradition of British military writing that avoids the glamor, flag-waving, and "splatter-punk" of comparable American military stories. He puts you right in the cockpit of a Sopwith Pup, but downplays the violence of war. ...

Wirtz Gardens, The1 review
Patrick Taylor, Jacques Wirtz

Exhibitions International/Wirtz International, 2004

A stunning piece of art!
This book comes in 2 volumes, with both over 100 pages each. High quality bound and exclusive paper makes this book a pleasant reading experience. It is worth the price - at its current price I personally consider it even underpriced ($ 168.00). Every page shows high quality impressive photographs of the Wirtz gardens. The text, without dominating the presence of the photographs, is highly ...

Routledge, 2001

A superb guidebook. Expensive BUT it works
I am 40 and suffer from ankylosing sponditis (a form of rheumatoid arthritis) and before I found Dr Murray my back pain was intolerable to the degree I seriously wondered if I would ever have a pain free life again. Dark thoughts entered my head and I grew despondent. Then I found this book in a local bookstore and said, Why not, what do I have to lose? Well pain was the biggest thing :-). ...
