Rezensionen / Stimmen
'the best narrative of the city's past I've ever come across ... A superb production, reasonably priced, and one that fills a definite need' -- Galway Advertiser * The Galway Advertiser * 'beautifully and most professionally published ... A work of art both in presentation and in content' -- Connaught Sentinel 'Fascinating ... Excellent colour photographs ... The books focuses on providing what, to an outsider, seems to be a quality source of local information and details of attractions wthout becoming outdated ... Its essential history and charms should remain forever, so this book could be as valuable in 30 years time as it is today.' -- M2 Communications 'Useful and informative ... A fine publication.' -- An Gobadan 'attractively-produced and well-informed commentary on Galway, past and present' -- The Galway Archaeological and Historical Society
