'Iconic locations are well chosen ... '... covers the whole county well. ... few will disagree with the author's final choice' (The Cornishman, 09.10.08) '... superb treatment from Sarah's words and David's lens. '... Iconic Cornwall portrays the wonder of our landscape and people.' (West Briton, 16.10.08) 'a book which lives up to its claim of reflecting the author's passion for her native Cornwall and her knowledge of its character' (Western Morning News, 12.11.08) '...homes in with words and views on fairytale settings... And the details of each scene are often as fascinating as the accompanying picture capturing light and mood.' (Tavistock Times Gazette, 18.12.08) 'will appeal widely ... it is very attractively packaged, and the price is very fair for such a nicely produced, abundantly illustrated hardback volume.' (Old Cornwall, vol. XIII, no. 12, Spring 2009)
