THE VANISHING IRELAND PROJECT

THIRD VOLUME smashes into top 10

'An invaluable record of times past'. That is the verdict of the Irish Independent (December 2011) on the 'Vanishing Ireland' series.

'Vanishing Ireland - Recollections of Our Changing Times', the third volume, is No. 8 in the hardback non-ficton charts as of 21st December 2011.

Turtle's latest bestselling book, with photographs by James Fennell, was launched at the Hugh Lane Gallery in Dublin (18th October) the Hunt Museum, Limerick (20th October) with a wonderful talk by legendary GAA commentator Micheál Ó Muircheartaigh.

The best of 'Vanishing Ireland' also enjoyed a fantastic 6-week exhibition at the Hunt Museum in Limerick City (9 Sept-24 Oct 2011) which drew a crowd of 110 on Friday 23rd September, exactly one week after Turtle and James gave a walk and talk tour of the show.

The two previous volumes were shortlisted for the Irish Published Book of the Year at the 2007 and 2010 Irish Book Awards respectively.
