Pictorial Books

Sam Lloyd is a professional photographer with an impressive back catalogue of books about London, where he has lived for most of his adult life, and Scotland, his family's home. His recent publications include "St Pauls" (Collins & Brown) and "The Landscape of Scotland" (AAPPL). The lively text by publisher and writer Cameron Brown guides the reader through London's past and present, its historic buildings, the residential quarters, the parks and gardens, the inhabitants and, perhaps most important of all, the river. He is author of three titles in the "Facts, Figures & Fun" series: "Wimbledon", "Christmas" and "London's Rivers".
