"This is an altogether enchanting book. New and different . . . it would make a perfect gift." —Dwight Davis, host of Bird Notes on WHRO Public Media

"This is a collection of incredible and personal photos of birds, accompanied by informative and conversational text. . . . The photos are works of art. . . . giving such a unique impression of the books. . . . the detail in these photos is extraordinary, the colors likewise. The book is printed on fine, heavy stock. It is a work of art itself, beautifully bound, with clean and dramatic design." —Jim Williams, Wingnut blog, Star Tribune

"Truly one of the most breathtaking titles I’ve explored in a long time, Close to Birds, first published in Sweden, achieves the delicate balance of jaw-dropping photographs and thought-provoking text. . . . [A]mong the birds featured in stunning color against white backgrounds are an ordinary mallard, a common sandpiper, a Eurasian sparrow, and a common starling. . . . You’ll learn, gasp and see birds anew." —BookPage
