Reviews & features
 
Feature on 'Cool canals' in the DAILY TELEGRAPH:
“With its evocative photographs, ...'Cool Canals' is a stirring reminder of just how much more to canals there is than canals...

...Perhaps, in their paean to canals, these two wacky, counter-cultural women really have captured something of the Zeitgeist. Coolness isn't a fast car any more. It isn't a crowded cocktail bar. It certainly isn't a Caribbean beach, rubber-necking at celebrities. It is knowing when to slow down, take time out, commune with nature, savour pleasures too precious to be rushed. ”

Daily Telegraph 5 September 2009 (See the whole feature here)

“...this original and imaginative introduction to Britain's canal network is packed with ideas for inspiring days out.”

WALK magazine (The Ramblers' Association) Autumn 2009 (See the whole review here)

Hot Brands Cool Places “As well as an inspiring story behind the publication, this book is an absolute delight...

...Highly Recommended as an essential guide, with beautiful photography and a great first publication.”

Hot Brands Cool Places July 2009 (See the whole review here)

“...a splendid publication...
Don't plan a day out or holiday on the canals without getting hold of a copy!”

Waterways World magazine June 2009 (See the whole review here)

“The book reminds me in its style of the highly popular Mr & Mrs Smith 'Hip Hotels' guides - it's well laid out with superb photography...
...'Cool canals' will open many fascinating, inspirational doors”

Canals & Rivers magazine July 2009 (See the whole review here)

“A genuine new player is always welcome and I think this company may have produced a guide that absolutely presses all the right buttons”

Cool Canals is printed using 100% vegetable-based inks on Condat Silk FSC paper, produced from 100% Elemental Chlorine Free (EFC) pulp that is fully recyclable. It has a Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification and is fully manufactured on one site by Condat in France, an ISO14001 accredited company. All FSC certified papers are produced by companies who support well-managed forestry schemes which in turn actively plant and replace trees that are cut down for pulp, typically planting more trees than are harvested.
