The 1960s
'a wonderful collection of images ... the perfect stocking filler ... While all the big moments are here ... it is perhaps the everyday images of ordinary people and daily life which prove the most revealing and charming.'

Praise for The Feckin' Book of Everything Irish
'Murphy and O’Dea’s several publications are mainly for laddish amusement. Still, Freud thought a culture expressed itself most seriously in its jokes, and it would not be unfair to suggest that the coarse side of Irish culture is now the dominant side.' Sunday Independent Living
'The Celtic poets, patriots and revivalists might take as a contemporary text today the popular compendium The Feckin’ Book of Everything Irish, by Colin Murphy and Donal O’Dea, being part of a series of entertaining publications featuring "genuine Irish culture"' Sunday Independent Living
