[A] beautifully produced and judiciously illustrated collection. -- Keith Miller, 4 stars, Daily Telegraph

I became entirely mesmerised by Barnes? prose? Keeping an Eye Open is a rich and thoughtful book that should not be rushed. These essays are too full of chiaroscuro, their flashes of illumination too fascinating, their connections too interesting for a cursory reading. -- Roma Tearne, Independent

It?s a readable, riveting, informed work with sharp, marvelous anecdotes and observations. In this beautifully illustrated book you?re in great company. Barnes is a sane and steady guide? Wonderful stuff. -- Niall McMonagle, Irish Independent

Extremely rewarding, informative, attentive, thoughtful, entertaining essays. -- David Sexton, Evening Standard

This is an erudite, entertaining and highly personal collection of essays from the Booker Prize-winning novelist. -- Sebastian Shakespeare, Tatler
