I’m amazed; and it’s tough to impress me. The quality of the photographs is remarkable, and the binding, the book itself is really something else. I’m used to fine press books. But these people went above and beyond... It’s a dedication to something I can’t quite even understand. It’s extraordinary.
Alan Jutzi - Chief Curator, Rare Books, Huntington Library, California

ANTARCTICA is magnificent. Everyone who has seen it has been bowled over.
Des Cowley - Rare Printed Collections Manager, State Library of Victoria, Australia

At Yale University, ANTARCTICA is permanently on display in the Arts of the Book Collection and this piece catches the attention of everyone who walks in to the reading room. This work is the perfect start to a conversation about what a book can be and how a well designed and constructed book can add to the knowledge inside it. Every aspect of ANTARCTICA is well done and worth consideration, from the physical construction, to the layout, to the photography, which gives me many possible ways this book can help with our educational mission. With this one work, I can connect with graduate students from the School of Art, as well as undergraduates in the humanities and the sciences. The beauty of the book draws in the students, and the durability allows me to feel free to use it again and again without worrying about its fragility.
Jae Rossman – Special Collections Librarian, Arts Library, Yale University

An exhilarating book. I never before realized the colour of Antarctica.
Just a remarkable piece of art.
Roy Flukinger – Senior Photography Curator, Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center, University of Texas

A book so remarkable that you feel you do not have to go to Antarctica.
On the other hand when you look through it, you know you must.
George Plimpton – New York

This is the first Antarctic book that may require a Sherpa to bring it to your home,
a lectern to display it, and a special bookcase to put it in. Make no mistake, it is
something that you will treasure for life. The Keoughs have assembled a stunning and eclectic portfolio of such artistry that I was left speechless. Having myself been to most of the places that the Keoughs visited, many of their photographs brought a pang of nostalgia. But as I lack the eye of an artist, I had looked but seldom appreciated the stark beauty of what I was seeing.
Dr. Charles Swithinbank – Scott Polar Research Institute

I love to show ANTARCTICA to students and faculty and watch their jaws drop. Then I explain what went into the making of this book--artistic vision, technical quality, production values, and painstaking attention to every detail--and watch their jaws drop even farther. It's an absolutely stunning addition to our growing Artists' Books Collection.
Diane Windham Shaw - Special Collections Librarian and College Archivist, Skillman Library, Lafayette College

Somehow the word “book” does not do justice to what can only be described as a work of art; in fact, art and technology combined into a work of supreme craftsmanship. ANTARCTICA is a magnificent collection of truly stunning images in an indestructible binding between leather covers that epitomizes the art of book construction; ownership will be a prerequisite for every polar bibliophile.
Dr. Peter Clarkson - Chairman, Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research

ANTARCTICA is a stunning visual exploration of a harsh region, much of which has seldom been seen. It is enormously difficult to photograph in sub-freezing temperatures; that Pat and Rosemarie were able to produce a work of such beauty in these severe conditions is astounding. An important work which greatly enhances our collections.
James Fox - Director, Special Collections, University of Oregon

This is the most impressive and evocative collection of photographs of Antarctica
that I have ever seen. These images capture all the subtleties of light, shape and
texture of the Antarctic, bringing to life its heritage, wildlife, and land and
seascapes like no other book.
Professor John Croxall – British Antarctic Survey

A remarkable book, marrying the highest standards of photography, printing and
binding to produce a visual record of Antarctic diversity second to none.
Professor David Walton – British Antarctic Survey

Everyone here is favorably impressed with our newest book! The box, the book cover and iceberg interior paper, the photos, the stand...all of it is quite magnificent and we will enjoy showing this off to others. Rosemarie and Pat put so much love and care into this book. It shows in every page that we turn. It is one of the finest new books we’ve ever bought. It will be on display during a major conference on the International Polar Year in 2007 here at CU Boulder.
Christine Vincent – Special Collections Department,
University of Colorado at Boulder

There is a power to the Keoughs’ photographs that inspires and uplifts the spirit.
Jim Fowler – Honorary President, The Explorers Club

We do not have enough superlatives to express our pleasure in ANTARCTICA. Like a well-orchestrated symphony directed by a maestro, the Keoughs have
created a masterful depiction and blending of all the wonders of that frozen land.
We will get many, many years of enjoyment from ANTARCTICA. It will be a
treasure for us to bequeath. Dr. and Mrs. Edwin Williams – Virginia

ANTARCTICA is so perfect and so much more than beautiful, that it has to be
seen to be believed. From concept to cover, from design to binding, and to the
fabulously vivid and often haunting images, the book is breathtaking.
Dr. Carl Safina – Blue Ocean Institute

What an incredible accomplishment. I have never seen such a masterpiece.
I don’t think there is anywhere so much art concentrated in one place and
displayed so beautifully. It is absolutely magnificent.
Dr. Erwin Bohmfalk – Virginia

Pat and Rosemarie’s ANTARCTICA is an astonishing book with magnificent,
artistic images. Dr. Richard Leakey – Kenya

When we opened ANTARCTICA, the great monastery books crafted in
Tuscany many centuries ago came to mind, and it doesn’t seem to be an
overstatement comparing this new creation with the old.
Manfred and Evelyn Breuers– Florida

ANTARCTICA is the most beautiful book about this most wonderful
region...period. Dr. John Levinson – Past President, The Explorers Club

The images in ANTARCTICA evoked in me a reaction beyond the cerebral
emotions of awe, wonder and beauty. They physically affected me – tears and, in some images, even a tactile urge to feel as well as see what is portrayed.
Dr. Paul Carslake – Writtle, England

This unique book is a modern variation in the tradition of wildlife art made famous
by John James Audubon. Its use of advanced print technology captures subtleties
of colour, just as Audubon and Havell refined aquatint printmaking to control
tonal variations. Toronto Reference Library – Canada
