Review :
'stunning new book shows Looe at its best... laden with enough facts to satisfy the curious walker, and whet the appetite of more serious spotters. Page after page of stunning colour photographs' (Cornish Times, 11.07.14) 'I would recommend this practical little book for anyone who loves to discover new things about nature' (My Cornwall, Vol. 2, issue 25, August/September 2014) 'To say that he [Derek Spooner] is au fait with his subject is an understatement; he could hardly be better qualified... He can also write, and to accompany him... is a delight... Derek Spooner is as inspiring as he is informative. ... Illustrated with splendid photographs... Wild Looe... is good value and should be in the pocket of anyone who cares about nature conservation in Cornwall.' (The Cornishman, 21.08.14) '"Wild Looe" is enhanced by superb photographs from a variety of contributors.' (Cornish and Devon Post, 04.09.14) 'a beautifully observed and lyrically written overview of the wildlife and habitats of Looe and the surrounding area... a highly enjoyable, informative read with abundant, stunningly beautiful photographs' (Wild Cornwall, Issue 125, Winter 2014)
