Glas Reader Quotes
It is extremely nerve wracking when the book you’ve spent seventeen years working on gets into the hands of real people who have paid money for it. Turns out I needn’t have worried.
Now that almost all 75 copies of Glas have been sold, I thought it a good time to collate some of the feedback I have received.
“The book and photography, top marks 5 stars.” Douglas, UK
“What a magnificent book! I shall look forward to spending many hours examining every page. You have done wonders and the result is well worth the cost.” Mike, UK
“It’s fabulous!! Really something special. I’ll be enjoying this many times over.” Jody, USA
“I’m delighted with my copy of Glas - congratulations on producing such a high-quality photobook. It’s a great evocation of place and a showcase for some superb compositional skills.” Ian, UK
“In a word, it’s superb and you must be very pleased.” Adrian, UK
“What an amazing piece of artwork.” Stef, Netherlands
“Congratulations, what a wonderful book. Its going to take me time to look at the entire book there is so much to read and look at. Who would have thought of a book of black and white photographs in this day and age of coloured everything, a good choice.” John, UK
“A true work of art!” Paul, UK
“I‘m overwhelmed, such a beautiful work, full of inspiration for me as a photographer. I will take the next days for a deeper look, and there will be more feedback from me.” Rob, Denmark
“Arrived today and is more stunning than I imagined.” Peter, New Zealand
“Well, what a pleasure! I think that with Glas you have succeeded in all of your aims. A delightful pictorial anthology of Skye, fortified by the Gaelic verse, a splendid exposition of the genre of monochrome landscape photography, and an excellent example of high quality book printing and production. It truly is a work of art on so many levels.” Martin, UK
Needless to say I am beyond pleased. It was a considered gamble creating a very low volume, high end and expensive book rather than going for the “typical” tourist trade publication.
Generally I am totally useless at self promotion, so it is brilliant to have my readers do it for me. Thanks to everyone that wrote to me to say how much they are enjoying Glas.
