Love from Cork by Perry O'donovan
Portrays the city and county of Cork through a century of Irish and European postcards with transcriptions of the written details on the cards and extracts from the rich literary heritage of this part of southwest Ireland. A finely wrought homage and an absorbing collection inviting one to explore Ireland's largest county in a bygone era.
'Beguiling collection - handsome' The Irish Times 'A delight.' Picture Postcard Monthly 'A magnificently produced book - a marvellous work, as entertaining as it is scholarly.' Maurice Sweeney, Southern Star 'Absolutely lovely - a wonderful concept - one of the nicest books I've read in a long time.' Neil Prendeville on Cork's 96FM 'Pleasant layout.' Books Ireland 'Beautiful [and] insightful' Sunday Independent
