The book is described by the publishers as a high-end coffee table book format, 26 x 26 cm, with 400 pages. It will be published in a trilingual edition (English, French and Dutch) with further regional editions in other languages likely to follow for worldwide distribution.

‘Cult Locations’ will feature high quality images with photo captions and text from the most renowned locations in the world in the following categories: Media/Art/Music, Architecture & Monuments, History, Sports, Nature, Religion & Mystic, Events and Special Interests.

The book will feature the TT pictures of local photographer Dave Collister as well as pictures from the TT archive run by Isle of Man based Bill Snelling of Fottofinders.

“We are delighted that the publishers of this premium book have chosen to feature the Isle of Man and the TT races. It is a tribute to the event’s iconic status and enduring appeal.”
