'And the best natural history book of the year has to be Cutting Away. Gillmor has been at the forefront of bird illustration since before I can remember, yet still retains an extraordinary enthusiasm for his subjects and his work. A truly beautiful book.'

                                                         Stephen Moss - Guardian November 25 2006

'This beautiful book presents a striking series of linocuts....No one over the past 50 years has left a greater mark on the art associated with British Ornithology than Robert Gillmor, often in books by others. This volume consists entirely of his own work and the bold, colourful prints selected are quite splendid.'

Leo Kinlen IBIS 2007

'For anyone interested in art, or enthusiastic about birds, it is a must'

                                                                                 RSPB Birds magazine February 2007

'This is a beautifully produced book of lovingly crafted plates. Craft into art! '

'a pioneering wildlife artist'

Peter Marren - Telegraph Weekend   Sept 23 2006

'It is Gillmor's gentle hand on the tiller that has steered the successful course of wildlife art in this country over the past four decades'  ......'Gillmor's work is always immaculately executed...... it's usually bold in design, often with subtle yet vibrant colour patterns'

Andrew Stock - president of the SWLA

'Cutting Away works on two levels....literally the title refers to the way the artist works a sheet of linoleum, scoring and gouging the surface into a negative of the subsequent print.'
