Two new books have just arrived in our warehouse - hot off the press from Allan Wright Photography. Here at Scottish Bookstore we are a huge fan of Allan's work, not least the thousands of images featured in the Lyrical Scotland postcard and greetings card ranges we stock. But Allan's latest projects see him return to book form which truly showcases his artistic eye. Allan's appreciation for Scotland's varied scenery is amply evident in these new publications, the first of which celebrates our outermost isles. 'Scotland's Islands' truly captures the best of Allan's work. It's easy to see why he cherishes and continues to thrive on what he calls "the encounter and challenge involved in zeroing in on the moment". Readers of this book will too.
