Wainwright has selected 20 of Lakeland's principal fells which have the status of mountains and rather than describing a walk up, around and down each, his copy is more a celebration of each - he describes the particular attributes of each, the views from each top, and any outliers which have particular merit. Derry Brabb's photographs complement his text superbly.

This impressively researched and beautifully photographed book provides great insight into the River Thames, from its source in Gloucestershire all the way to the sea. Rather than give a step-by-step description in the manner of other guidebooks, author Derry Brabbs alternates descriptive narrative with chapters dedicated to specific river-related topics, such as "Tributaries," "Locks," "Sports," and "Leisure," as well as a chapter on London's architectural evolution. The text also periodically deviates away from the riverbank to feature some of the historic towns and villages within reach of the Thames. Brabbs’ own photographs combine atmospheric landscape with architecture to create a timeless sense of history.

First published in 1973, A. Wainwright's Coast to Coast is the most authoritative and useful guide to one of the world’s most beautiful walks. It covers rights of way and areas of open access between the Irish Sea and the North Sea and passes through three of Great Britain’s National the Lake District, the Yorkshire Dales, and the North Yorkshire Moors, all areas of outstanding beauty. Providing a wide and varied range of scenery with changing landscapes over a distance of 190 miles, it is one of the most challenging and rewarding of long-distance walks. This new edition has been updated to reflect minor changes in the terrain, and many of the original photographs, taken by Derry Brabbs and first published in 1987, have been retaken by the legendary lakeland photographer. The result is the transformation of a superb guidebook into one that is truly sublime.
