Our favourite for December 2003 was Blow
In, A Personal View Of Life In West Cork by Nora Strong,
hot off the press that month. Touching on country living, music,
love, house, food & garden, life & death, and land &
sea this endearing book is guaranteed to educate and entertain.
Of course, we're biased as it's written by a friend of ours - but
don't let that put you off! Though its main focus is neither Environmental,
Health & Educational it raises many topics relevant to Book
STEPs, makes excellent reading and is a perfect gift for anyone
interested in Irish living. And 10% of all sales of this book go
to the Appeal for Ethiopia. I can't recommend it highly enough!
Perfect, Practical Presents
