Reviews of the 2008 Photography Annual:

"It has a narrative that leads you deep into our great sport"
LondonCycleSport.com

"It's a stunning collection"
Cycling Weekly

"Superbly presented and perfect for the coffee table"
Cycling Plus

"The photography is both in colour and black and white and is, quite frankly, stupendous. With no intended disrespect to any of the regular monthlies or their photographic contributors who are, after all, fulfilling a different function, this is several orders of magnitude above and beyond"
thewashingmachinepost.net

"Rouleur Photography Annual 2008 is many things: a chronicle of many of the year's more interesting races; a fine art book; a labour of love; impressive, unique and expensive. Sports, culture, humanity, Nature captured on fine paper. Transcendent, and a necessity for your cycling library"
Leslie Reissner - PezCycling News

"There will never be a better year to recommend a cycling book and the one that has given me most pleasure is this album, a beautifully produced record of the European road racing scene featuring outstanding photographers whose work reveals the humanity of the riders and their followers"
Richard Williams, Chief Sports writer, the Guardian

"Quite simply, it makes you want to get on your bike and ride it"
Kevin Braddock, Contributing Editor - British GQ
