Enlightenment Edinburgh

'This appealing, elegant and lively book would be an excellent companion for a first-time visitor . . . but it is also a work that can be read with pleasure and profit by any resident of Edinburgh'

-- Iain Gordon Brown * Book of the Old Edinburgh Club *

'Gives us snippets and gems found in little known corners . . . This lavishly illustrated book is one to relish for its humour and erudition'

* Edinburgh Old Town Association *

'a marvellous celebration'

* Edinburgh World Heritage *

'a book with lasting value: a book that can be referred to time and again, and which will see us directing our own further exploration of a city we already know pretty well ... The text is supported by excellent illustrations: modern colour photographs and old sepia or monochrome images, all beautifully printed; plus an outstanding set of maps that ensures the city's complex geography is made very clear… whether you are a long-term resident of Edinburgh looking for fresh ideas, or making your first visit for a long weekend, give this book a look: in either case it will allow you to make more of the city... a thoroughly interesting read'

'That’s the moment Szatkowski's love affair with Edinburgh and its history began, and it's a love that infuses every page of Enlightenment Edinburgh: A Guide… it's taught me a great deal'

-- David Robi
