Review: WOW! Gorgeous Book! - This book is a stunner! The paper is heavyweight and matte, the photos are bright and clear, the typography is beautiful and easy to read. I would be proud to display this book anywhere. This book contains a great collection of artist's books. I found it extremely interesting and inspirational. I imagine that photographing and cataloging artist's books is a difficult task. Taking something that is meant to be opened and "paged" through and explored and reducing it to a 2D image takes a bit away from the actual artwork. I am grateful that the creators of this book took on the challenge! My constructive criticism is that I would have preferred more attention to the creative process that the artist used to create the book. There is an appendix of sorts in the back giving some information (dimensions, some materials, some general processes, etc.). It was annoying to have to flip back and forth between the image and the appendix. And there wasn't enough information about the creative process anywhere. I am more interested in HOW the artist created the book and less interested in WHY the artist created book or WHY the book is important to the art world. Also, I felt that the writing was unnecessarily pretentious. I got tired of the name dropping like I was somehow not "in the know" enough to understand this art. I can get past all that - but just wanted to mention it. This is still a treasure that I will look through again and again!
Review: Accuate description of used book - Book delivered within specified timeframe; matched the description as a used book. I didn't really need to add another book on books to my library. I did so because I could afford the used copy over a new and since it is a reference book, it didn't have to be as "pretty."
