press has said about

"Good old Sunflowers, those
thin blue books that walkers on the Continent
trust like seasoned friends from Sicily to the Azores - they never
fail to
find you a really good walk." Christopher Somerville,
Weekend Telegraph
and
what users have said about
Sunflower Books Landscapes series...
"Brilliant books - the idea of measuring the walks in terms of time is excellent and we trust them (almost!) implicitly." (M.F., Middlesbrough)
"I would like to thank you for such swift delivery of my order for Landscapes of Slovenia. I posted my order on Tuesday and received it on Thursday morning in the 8.30 post. What a contrast with some of the mail order outfits I have bought from in the past who have taken up to three weeks to deliver!" (C.K.R., Gloucester)
"Just returned from Amalfi coast and used your book Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast. It was terrific!!! I don't know what we would have done without it; the directions were very clear and precise. Now I want to plan all my vacations around your books." (L.C., Saskatoon, Canada)
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast - We have just returned from a two week holiday in Sorrento. We wanted to thank you for publishing the best travel book we ever had. We completed 7 segments in Sorrento, Amalfi, and Capri. All the walks we chose were rated as easy and were completely appropriate for our children (7 and 9). The book should be renamed "How to get away from the Crowds in 30 seconds or less". The walk around the Coast Road in Capri was one of the most breathtaking experience of our lives, the walk from Amalfi to Atrani which goes underneath the houses can only be described as charming and the views from Sorrento to Pantano breathtaking.Thank you very much. We will be recommending the books to everyone!!! (R.B., Manchester)
"The book proved a really useful (no, essential) addition to our holiday and indeed made a good holiday really special."
"They are beautiful books, finest guides I have read." (M.M., Gravesend)
I really like these books. As we aren't serious walkers, it is great to have parking, picnic spots, cafes pointed out. (comment on Jersey by D.B., York)
"I
did the Azores last year and your
book, as ever, was superb. Lovely islands!"
(L.S., Putney)
Just to let you know that my book arrived well in time for my holiday. Ordered Wednesday, arrived Thursday morning; what brilliant service - many thanks. (D.F., London)
"I hired a car for part of my time (in the Holy Land) and came to rely heavily on your book. It was incredibly informative and helpful. It gave me access to sights and experiences that I would otherwise have passed by. It was particularly helpful driving up from the Jordan into the Golan and around the north. Congratulations on a useful, readable and informative book." (D.N.J., Northampton)
"May I take the opportunity of congratulating you and the Underwoods on the superb quality of Landscapes of Madeira. It is by far the most comprehensive, detailed and USEFUL publication of the kind I have used." (R.B., Nottingham)
"What a splendid book! I visit Menorca regularly and use your book often. A good balance between short and long walks. The real Menorca can only be found on foot and the guide is an invaluable help to find countryside coves that are simply, amazingly beautiful." (I.D.P., Essex)
"We found your book [Picos de Europa] and it became our bible! I don't think we have ever used a guide book more intensely or enjoyed one so much." (C.&L.M., Lowestoft)
"May I just say that this is the third time we have used the 'Landscapes' guides and we will not book a holiday without referring to the list of guides available. Even the additional information is invaluable. No need to buy additional guide books. We have talked to many people of different nationalities – introductions being merely the blue Sunflower guide – it seems like we are all members of a club. We have become addicted to walking on holiday." (S.P.C., Leicester)
"Your books are superb. I
have 7 copies of different places and they have, in most cases,
lifted a holiday from the ordinary to stunning!" (M.M.,
Ilkley)
and finally some comments on our online Update Service...
"a very necessary and helpful service" (W.K.D., Bolton)
"We took a bargain package to Mallorca at the last minute (our third visit this year!) and it was brilliant to be able to check the latest Update before we left" (E.J., Cornwall)
"The books are great, the
walks are great and the best thing of all is the Update service:
things do change and it's really good to be able to have some
information in between editions." (J.W., London E8)
