"The Ionian Islands and Epirus", Athens News Book Review,

I was really pleased to be sent a scan of Damion Mac Con Uladh's book review of "The Ionian Islands and Epirus, A Cultural History" (thank you Richard), the first review I have seen so far. It appeared in Athens News on April 2nd, so it's not an April Fool's trick!

I'm not sure how to attach a scanned document to this blog (advice please), but here are a few excerpts:

ATHENS NEWS (2-8 April, 2010):

"If evidence is required that Greece can enchant, enthral and engage, then Briton Jim Potts' book is just that...

What he produces over the course of 280 pages is a wonderful and inspiring miscellany of all things Ionian and Epirot...it makes accessible a rich cultural depository to the discerning and cultured tourist- and resident...The Ionian Islands and Epirus takes a refreshing look at the islands and mountains of western Greece...

This little gem of a book will provide the discerning traveller with something grossly lacking from other tourist guides: a real cultural history with which he or she can contextualise the wonderful experience that is the Ionian Islands and Epirus."

Damian Mac Con UIadh, "Getting the feel for a place", Athens News 2-8 April, 2010.

and a Happy Easter from me!
