‘Môn Mam Cymru: the Guide to Anglesey’ by Philip Steele & Robert Williams.
Published by Magma (ISBN 1-872773-77-X), £17.95.
There are three parts to the book – an introduction sets the scene, a detailed gazetteer covers every part of the island, and a directory section presents a classified listing of things to do and places to see.
This 264-page full colour introduction to the island includes history and ancient sites, language and culture, and natural habitats and wildlife. There are many inset features, including a series of profiles of the island’s notable people. Three longer features deal with Anglesey’s seafaring history, its architecture and its cultural heritage.
More than three hundred illustrations and a fold-out map is included.
