This comprehensively illustrated guide provides both an idea of where you might want to go, how to get there and what to see when you do ... This is a well thought-out and attractively-presented guide that should be of interest to the serious student or the curious traveller. * Art Book Review * This guide contains all the information you could want in order to plan a visit. Arranged geographically, it provides location information as well as details of opening times, prices and a summary of what to look out for when you're there. For me, though, the real treat is the generous illustrations. If you like modern sculpture, they're a pure feast and provide a real sense of what's out there. For all those parks you maybe can't get to, this book is not a bad substitute. It will, however, also whet your appetite. Sixty-six parks are included, from the can't-miss Yorkshire Sculpture Park to the hadn't-thought-of-that Derek Jarman's garden at Dungeness. The only problem is: do you keep it in the house or in the car? -- Henry Malt * The Artist *
