LIGHT & FLIGHT A Hebridean wildlife and landscape sketchbook Written and illustrated by Philip Snow ISBN 9781904353102 128 pages £25 Postage on this book £1.50 UK	Over 250 watercolours and sketches. From the cliffs of the Butt of Lewis to the granite outpost of Ailsa Craig, Philip Snow has captured in his stunning watercolours the whole coastline of the Hebrides.

Most of his pictures come with field notes and anecdotes that transport the reader to the world of soaring eagles and rasping corncrakes. No other book has presented the rich wildlife of the islands so intimately and with such skill.
