Garden History, Tom Williamson (2019): Red Book illustrations and other images are beautifully reproduced … [and] accompanied by an interpretative essay by Patrick Eyres, [which] is a particularly insightful and innovative piece of work.

Country Life, Steven Desmond (2018): For once, we can judge these attractive ideas from a reading of the complete text, with the full set of illustrations in the right order – an exceptional treat. This marvellous achievement is the work of Karen Lynch, whose excellent research shines forth from each of her introductory essays, and Patrick Eyres, who performs his usual mind-broadening task of setting these places in their historical and political context. The New Arcadians have been teaching us pleasantly provocative lessons for many years and this superb publication is no exception. Merely to have persuaded the various owners to agree to participate in the exercise is a triumph in itself.
