Touching Velvet: A Year in the Czech Republic by Max Boyle was recently (25 August 2007)included as part of an exhibition in the dedication ceremony of the Library of Jirina Fuchs in Los Angeles, California.
'Encounters with grumpy landlords and white-socked shop girls, beer-fuelled evenings beneath the vaults of Tabor's Blues Bar...all are evoked in a wry style.'
Quotation from Michael Ivory of the British Czech and Slovak Association featured as part of the back cover synopsis of Touching Velvet.
