Manager of Bookends, Jenny Curtis, said: “We always have really good success with the Echo books and have to do repeat orders to meet demand.

“A lot of people come in and request it specifically and others see it and decide it would make a good Christmas present. There are also people who collect the Echo books.”

The book has chapters for individual towns and areas as well as a special section dedicated to the county’s involvement in the Olympics and Paralympics.

Pictures were taken by the Daily Echo’s award-winning photographers and contributors from across the area.
