An Eye for Cork

This handsome book takes you on a fascinating tour of Cork city in a series of mesmerizing images that encapsulate all that is special about the city. Cork differs from other Irish cities because of its deeply individual way of life and heritage that can now be enjoyed in visual form. This is a valuable record of the city at the beginning of the 21st century, reflecting a keen eye for the quality, delight, and magic of the city and its people. Its qualities are captured in its buildings, its people, its visitors, and its curiosities. Established first as a monastic site, then a seaport on the River Lee, it gradually worked its way up the steep banks of the river. Some of Cork's main streets are built over channels where ships docked centuries ago. An Eye for Cork encapsulates all that is special about Cork, as well as its warmth and relaxing lifestyle. With more than 200 stunning photographs and personal captions, this is a unique statement about Ireland's third largest city.
