This is the sort of unshowy, unpretentious bookwork that doesn’t shout "look, I’m well designed" but serves its content perfectly and is far from easy to achieve; the same may be said of the editing.  — Books Ireland

The Cork Arts Society has played a critical role in the development and promotion of art in Cork over many decades. Anyone with an interest in this role should acquire a copy of the review.  — Des O’Sullivan, Irish Examiner
