How to read a church... on the go!	Customer Rating:
This is a great little book, one to stick into a backpack and go off for a hike with... Obviously, it loses some of the gloss and appeal of the photos as it has been condensed and the small size of the book hinders it hanging around the coffee table. However - if you want a small guide book to take our with you - it serves its purpose perfectly!! Love it!!

A beautiful book

Customer Rating:

A beautiful book with beautiful pictures, but the small size of this book does not allow the pictures to be viewed to their best advantage. I would recommend the hard back version for the pure pleasure of sitting in an armchair and enjoying the pictures and script. If you want a book to put into the glove compartment of the car though; a book with a more comprehensive knowledge of the churches then choose 'The Church Explorers Handbook' by Clive Fewins. The best choice of course is to buy both of them, I did.

guide book version of best selling book

Customer Rating:

This is the new 'guide book' version of How to Read a Church. It is designed to be taken out and about and has a soft cover. It is actually a bit heavier than the 'red cover' hardback version (around 500g) but it is looks and feels like many of the usual travel guides and guidebooks. It has an abridged text but there's plenty to read and there are lots of pictures (many the same as in the 'white cover' larger glossy version but there are some new ones too). I tried not to rate it because I know the author (hence the detailed knowledge of the different versions) - but the site won't let me do that so I've given it five stars because I do really like it! I've posted a picture showing the three versions next to each other for relative size.
