REVIEWS
IRISH TECH NEWS "This book, as both a magnificent folly and a beautiful work of art attempts to pull together some of these now, disparate, threads of human endeavour and show us, literally, how many interesting links there are between seemingly diverse topics." Simon Cocking, Irish Tech News, 10 Dec 2014 SUNDAY INDEPENDENT
"Whether you like your history served up in malleable morsels, serious chunks or intensely savoured, Hackett's compendium is a superb production. The format is striking. A spineless cover reveals the bookmaker's craft, and a rich tapestry of post-Renaissance history is stitched and bound with all its colourful thread and knots on show.” Deirdre Conroy, Sunday Independent, 20 April 2014 |
