Ireland Books

I purchased this calendar last year and not only did I enjoy it, but my entire family as well as visitors really enjoyed the pictures. It's a full size wall calendar with one large picture on the top fold and small pictures on each day as well on the bottom fold. Also the daily blocks are plenty large enough to write appointments for the day. Each month depicts an area in Ireland, then each little picture is a small shot of different places in the main area. I loved the calendar so much last year that I just purchased the one for this year -- I got it and it's every bit as beautiful as the one from last year! Buy it, you will be glad you did!

I have bought an Ireland calendar every year for the past six years. I always get one for my grandmother and usually one for me. This is the best calendar out there. There is almost one photo per each day highlighting each county. There are some truly beautiful photos. I also like that there is plenty if space to write appointments and such in the large boxes beneath each date. I highly reccommend this calendar - it's well worth it's cost.

I love the format with a picture for every day. You get to see so much more than just the one large image. It reminds me every day why I must go back to visit the Emerald Isle.

An excellent calendar. The many pictures above each day make it a superb buy.

This is a wonderful calendar for those who love photos of Ireland. It is fun because the monthly format includes daily small photos.

As an Irishman living away from home,I find this to be a great purchase,to keep a little bit of home in your house all year around,as the name suggests it's 365 days in Ireland so a different picture to look at every day.
We buy it every year and enjoy it very much.

having just returned from a trip to Ireland, i was looking for a detailed calendar of Ireland and the one we purchased and received was just what we wanted....thecost was right and it arrived very quickly, in good shape..

I have been purchasing the 365 Days in Ireland calendars for years. This year it has even more special meaning for me since I've been fortunate enough to travel there. Now that I have the new one for 2008, I can't wait to hang it up and enjoy it.

Each month is devoted to a different region (county or city) in Ireland. At the top of each page there is a larger picture along with a short narrative about the area, then each day has a picture. Having reviewed all the months I found June to be my favorite with a large picture of Dublin at the top along with daily pictures of all the interesting sites I saw there. It certainly brought back memories for me.

You don't have to have a history of having traveled to Ireland to enjoy this beautiful calendar. The photography is beautiful - it may make you want to make Ireland your next vacation destination. I enjoyed this calendar before I was lucky enough to travel to Ireland, and enjoy it even more now. I'm sure you will enjoy it too.

I ordered this calendar to give as a gift but ended up liking it so much that I kept it for myself! It has tons of wonderful photos, each divided by county. Each day has it's own small photo, so it's very visual. It's the best Ireland calendar I've seen, and I've seen a lot!

This was a gift received by us, and it brought back all of the memories of being there. I liked the fact that each page was a different county. All of the photos then relate to that county. I also loved the picture selection. It makes us appreciate what we saw, as well as what we missed while vacationing there. I highly recommend this calendar as a gift for anyone who loves Ireland, or who is interested in travelling there! A definite must have!

After purchasing several guide books to Ireland, I went back for another look. This spiral guide jumped out at me...and it was exactly what I need for all of the information needed for my trip to Ireland. It begins with "arriving at the airport" and continues with "your first two hours". The suggested itineraries are in terms of "one day, tow day...etc". Without knowing exactly how far each site it from another...it would be impossible to map out my trip. The photos are superb..suggested hotels, B & B's, pubs.....it is all there. Every time I buy a new travel guide...these spiral guides will be the ones I will order. Thanks for finally coming up with the perfect guide!

This was the book we used most when traveling around Ireland in 2001. We found it had just the right amount of information, not too much, not too little. It is designed for at-a-glance reading, with a convenient spiral binding and color maps on both end flaps. Each part of Ireland gets a "in 3 days" list of must-see attractions, well illustrated with color photographs, followed by a list of "at your leisure" activities for those who have more time or particular interests. Hotels, B&Bs and restaurants are included for each region, though these lists are limited. Then there is a section on "practicalities" - money, how to use phones, etc..., and even some history is thrown in. We found that this book helped us get around without having to wade through a lot of extraneous text. We plan to use it again this year to see the rest of Ireland.

This is the only guide you you need to Rome. It is complete, well organized, easy to use and unbiased. The guide contains enough information yet is still light enough to carry around.

Great photos and book design, laid out to give the important information without overload, easy enough to carry with you in the street. Good breakdown of the areas within the city and the major sights. Would be an excellent book to look at if you are thinking of going to Rome to get a feel for the city. The maps are very good, the walking itineraries are very good; shopping, eating and entertainment is reviewed at the back of each city section. Only weak point is that only 14 hotels are reviewed, but those 14 are enough of a variety to get you a nice place. Well worth buying if you are heading over there.

Mr. Ireland presents a biblically sound and well-balanced book on how to be activated in the Gifts of the Holy Spirit. This book is not spiritual fluff but offers a sound theology on how God manifests His grace through the believer. I especially enjoyed Mr. Ireland discussion on the redemptive nature and purpose of the Gift's of the Spirit. A must get book for any believer's library.

I really enjoyed Mr. Ireland's discussion of soveriegn acts, acts of grace and co-laboring with God. Though the bible speaks of the Gifts in the book of Acts, I think it is a subject that is looked upon as something that "holy rollers" do. Mr. Ireland explains what the different gifts are and how God gives these gifts to all of his children. It helped me to see the gifts not as something scary or strange, but as something wonderful and to be used for the glory of God.

This man is irrepresible. Another biography you have to thank the publishers for realising it was worth reprinting.

There has been a lot of interest recently in the Peninsular War - and it seems the laconic and witty officers of the 95th (later the Rifle Bridgade) were amongst the best in retelling their experiences. Perhaps it was that they were a different breed of officer - the 95th starting off as an experimental 'light' regiment, a corps established as skirmishers. They didn't fight in line, column and square and so didn't need to spend the hours on the drilling square. Instead they were encouraged to think for themselves and trained to take advantage of every piece of ground for harrassing the enemy.

And for light and witty reflections on Peninsular life, Kincaid is the master. He has a marvellous line in self-deprecating wit that you just can't help liking. For all its humour it is nor short on detail though and it is easy to take your mind back to life as they must have experienced it - at war in a foreign country 200 years ago.

A must buy!

Kincaid's thoroughly entertaining account of his participation in some of the major campaigns on the Peninsula during the Napoleonic Wars makes for lively, sometimes funny reading, though Kincaid never loses touch with the grim realities of warfare. His self-depricating humor, heart-felt patriotism, and sensitive reactions to death and destruction bring him to life, and makes the reader wish he/she had known him. He spends most of the book describing every-day life in Wellington's army, the hardships of traveling with an outnumbered and ill-supported force. His accounts of the battles are vivid and engaging. This work was extremely well-received at the time of its first publication, and is one of the sources for the popular Sharpe's series by Bernard Cornwell. It makes a wonderful companion book to anyone who appreciates Cornwell's ragtag officer.

The book, The Age of Shakespeare, takes my breath away! The many color prints and illustrations add beauty to a informative book. This is a well thought out book about Shakespeare and his times. I really enjoy reading it.

This is a great little book. Reading it won't give you a master's degree in Shakespearean studies, but it will give you a quick and interesting overview of many different subjects. The chapters are brief and topical: a discussion of Shakespeare's origins in Stratford, life and politics in Elizabethan England and London's theatres offer a fascinating glimpse into Shakespeare's world and works. The second section of the book, "Documents", looks at some of the primary sources for our understanding of Shakespeare, both documents from Shakespeare's life (a contract, his will, the First Folio), but also writings by those who saw the original plays, discussions of theatrical productions through the ages, and criticism by centuries of academics from John Dryden's 17th century analysis to modern feminist approaches.

The Age of Shakespeare is the perfect weekend read for those who want a bit of context about the plays and their origins. It is informative without being heavy. The dozens of color plates and illustrations are gorgeous, and the writing is intelligent and clear. A wonderful sampler
