Photo book
“Purchased as a gift. Beautiful pictures - looks great on our coffee table. Package arrived quickly. Very pleased.”
Refreshing
“Not only is Peter’s photography fabulous (I’ve bought books and pictures over the past few years) but his emails are super interesting, funny and thought provoking and one of the few that I actually read when they hit my inbox.”
Review of The Skellig Islands Book
“I purchased this book online at the weekend and it arrived today. It is stunning. If you have a grá for The Kingdom and the Skelligs you will love this book. Simply stunning. Magnificent photography. And a really prompt and efficient service. Immediate confirmation of my order. Great follow up to advise on order and dispatch. Arrived within few days. Great Irish business to buy from in these difficult times.”
Excellent book, excellent service and excellent website
“I purchased the book, The Skelligs, directly from the Peter Cox website because it was cheaper than any other source- and I wanted to fully support the great photographic work of Peter Cox by dealing with him directly. Since it is unlikely that I will be able to visit the Skelligs this book is the next best alternative and gives an excellent insight to why this island is so special.”
Stunning fotos
“It´s a pleasure, page by page, really”
The Skelligs
“Purchased as a gift for my brother, he says it's stunning. Excellent service from Peter”
Beautiful
“Magnificent. Thank you.”
Good things come to those who wait
“Hi Peter; an excellent book with interesting angles, it's a pleasure to look through it again each time The only problem was this indifference in the supply chain DHL, but that is not your problem, probably it is owed to Covid-19 Thanks a lot Guenter”
Mystical Skellig Islands
“Great to see such varied and wonderful photos of the Skelligs. The quality of paper and photos is really excellent. So nice photos from places which are off limits to the public. I’ve viewed the island from the water and land but its so nice to see photos taken from places you can’t reach like the old lighthouse. Drone photos also add so much. Love the mix as well, aerial, traditional landscape, night, puffins! So nice. On the flip side some of the two page panoramic photos while lovely were “pinched” somewhat by the book binder. Page 44 is a good example of what I mean here or indeed page 22 vs the cover photo. This is me being picky as overall its a really beautiful book. I will be buying another to give as a present to a friend:) A big thank you. Paddy”

“Bought for a relative who had visited the Skelligs a decade ago. He is very happy with it. Especially in the lockdown; a great escape”
perfect gift
“perfect gift received on time . it is a stunning book and truly appreciated by the person who received it.”
Magnificent
“I couldn’t quite reach the word I needed to adequately describe the experience I felt visiting the Skelligs last summer (didn’t get on Skellig Michael unfortunately). They are beautiful, spiritual, inspiring and therefore simply magnificent. When I bought Peter’s book it’s own magnificence is that it brings you right back to where you feel you are experiencing the islands up close. You also get to learn and see so much more - opening it again and again and you spot something new every time. It’s a absolute beauty and I couldn’t recommend it highly enough.”

A gift!
“I gifted this beautiful photography book to both my son’s and daughter’s families for Christmas, a special gift of Ireland, Peter’s art and talent, and the moody, mystical Skelligs! They all come together in this beautiful book- a keepsake from Peter and Ireland. It’s a treasure- a wonderful combination of contemporary craft and timeless art!”
