``Old Ireland in Colour'' co-authored with Dr Sarah-Anne Buckley is a bestselling book that brings Irish historical black and white photographs to life using a combination of artificial intelligence and human colourisation, and sold 50,000 copies in Ireland during 2020 (over \euro{}1,000,000 in sales). The sequel ``Old Ireland in Colour 2'' was also an Irish bestseller in 2021. Combined, both books have sold over 125,000 copies.
``The Social Semantic Web'' is a recommended course book in modules at Anna University Chennai, Bo\u{g}azi\c{c}i University, Institute of Technology Tallaght, National Institute of Technology Patna, Technical University of Munich, University of Bamberg, University of Vigo, Utrecht Graduate School of Humanities. It has been downloaded over 10,000 times. Two independent reviews are given below:
\medskip
\begin{quotation}``The book focuses mainly on the social Web and possibilities of its integration with the semantic Web. ... For Web developers, researchers, and graduate students, this book would be an ideal source for becoming acquainted with the evolving field of social applications on the Web. It may well fit into a seminar in information systems or related graduate study programs'' (M\'{a}ria Bielikov\'{a}, ACM Computing Reviews, September 2010)\end{quotation}
\medskip
\begin{quotation}``This book provides an easy-to-understand insight into Semantic Web and Social Web technologies and highlights research challenges when applying these technologies. ... each chapter provides a literature survey which provides an introduction state-of-the-art research from the domain. ... can be of interest for those, who consider using any of these Social Web applications in their research as well as those just want to get a solid foundation on the topic. ... IT professionals, researchers, academics and graduate students can all benefit from reading this book.'' (Frank Hopfgartner, Informer, January 2012)\end{quotation}
