Embark on a captivating journey through the liquid landscapes that surround us with Tristan Gooley's 'How To Read Water'. This extraordinary tome, penned by the bestselling author of 'The Walker's Guide to Outdoor Clues and Signs', offers readers a fresh perspective on the world, akin to donning a pair of spectacles that reveal hidden wonders.

Gooley, a Natural Navigator of considerable renown, distils his wealth of knowledge into a compendium of over 700 clues, signs, and patterns. From the humble puddle to the vast expanse of the sea, this indispensable guide equips enthusiasts of the great outdoors—be they ramblers, mariners, anglers, or wild swimmers—with the tools to decipher nature's aqueous mysteries.

Drawing upon his intrepid expeditions, from the frigid Arctic to the sun-drenched coasts of Oman, Gooley unveils the secrets of reading water in all its forms. His prose, as fluid and engaging as the subject matter itself, allows readers to unravel the enigmas of ponds, rivers, and oceans from the comfort of their armchairs.

Lauded by culinary adventurer Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall as 'absolutely beautiful' writing that 'transports' the reader, 'How To Read Water' promises to be a transformative read. It's an essential addition to the library of anyone with a passion for the natural world, offering a deeper connection to the watery realms that shape our planet.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.

This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.

Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
