The only problem with this book is the same one that afflicted Portfolios 10 and 11 - too many of the photographs go across the spine of the book, spoiling their impact and enjoyment.

Still, good to see that the price still hasn't gone up, which makes the book pretty good value.

The latest in this annual series maintains the high stndards set by previous editions. In fact, if anything I think the photographs in this year's book are even more stunning.

The only problem, which prevents me from giving it the full five stars, is the one which afflicted portfolios 10 and 11 - the design of the book means that too many photos are split across the spine, severely lessening the impact and enjoyment of these.

Still, good to see that the price still hasn't gone up this year, which makes this book pretty good value.

The only thing that lets it down, and prevents me giving it a full five stars, is the problem that has afflicted portfolios 10 and 11 previously - the design of the book means that too many of the photos are split across the spine, which severely spoils the enjoyment and impact of some of them.

Good to see that the price still hasn't gone up this year, making this book pretty good value.
