My favourite crag drawings are in Kevin Howetts Selected Guide to Scotland. Have you any favourites?

The first guidebooks I ever used were the Lakes ones in the 70's and they were beautifully illustrated by W Heaton Cooper. There were colour plates of his watercolours in there as well. Little gems.

Yes I still have a few of those guides. Illustration doesn't get much better than that.

My favourites are in the sixties Peak guides, drawn by PB Marks. I believe he also did the big Llanberis guide in the early eighties. 

Worked with Pete and I have some of his Stanage originals framed. Clear, simple but full of character.

Phil Gibson's peak lime illustrations were excellent

Heaton Cooper’s illustrations were aesthetically great but practically they were frequently useless!

I know what you mean.

I though Al Phizacklea's drawings were a real step up in terms of clarity.

I'm not familiar with them. I will look them up .☺
