"I can thoroughly recommend this book to everyone who wishes to start a new area of Nature Photography and although I have met very few people indeed in Nature Photography who feel they "know it all" I can honestly say that even they will certainly learn something from it.

"I was sent a copy of John Bebbington's book several weeks ago, and it was a pleasure to read. This is a book that has been written by someone who clearly understands insects, their behaviour and ecology, and has the photographic skill and talent to combine both into a nicely produced publication.
In conclusion, I can thoroughly recommend this publication. It is a fascinating read, packed with a lot of sound, practical advice, from someone who clearly knows his subject! "
