If you saw Griff Rhys Jones's excellent series Rivers you might think you'll know what to expect. But this isn't just a coffee table version of the series. As well as his accomplished descriptions of the rivers, Griff has included many anecdotes from the making of the series like going over the flash lock at Hertford in his canoe several times just for fun, even though the first filmed 'take' was fine. It's packed with dry, witty asides that didn't make the screen and conveys his feelings for rivers. Even if you saw the TV series there isrnplenty that makes it worth reading. If you didn't, all the more reason to read and enjoy this very well produced book.
