5.0 out of 5 stars Wow..., Dec 31 2003

By	Serge (North Brunswick, NJ USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Best Of James Herriot: The Favorite Stories Of One Of The Most Beloved Writers (Hardcover)

I've read Herriott since I was a teenager - I won't go into critiqueing the material - if you've ever read Herriott, you know how brilliant it is; if you have not, please do yourself a favor and read a single chapter - you won't need these reviews after that.

But I want to comment on this edition - I bought it as a gift to introduce my girlfriend to Herriott, and I am in love with this book. It's a gorgeous work, adding excellent illustrations and beautiful photography of the places Herriott roamed as a veterenarian - what more could you possible ask for? A total immersive experience. Thank you!

Now, if they could only give this treatment to Gerald Durrell, most of whose work is inexplicable out of print. Why???

By A Customer

This review is from: The Best Of James Herriot: The Favorite Stories Of One Of The Most Beloved Writers (Hardcover)

I wouldn't pass this book up for anything. I've read all of the James Herriot books, and was not at all disappointed by this collection of stories. I wouldn't suggest reading this in lieu of his other books, but it makes a nice addition to the collection. The pictures fit perfectly with the vidid descriptions in the text.
