ReviewsDodge's magnificent coffee table book (240 pages, 287 illustrations) is a visual feast, illuminated by beautifully written prose. A literary achievement reflecting a fifty-year effort from idea to publication. . . This fine-quality book mirrors one of the many characterizations of Ylla, as a 'stickler for quality.' Presented in a lively format, lovingly, admirably, clearly, thoughtfully, honestly, and sweepingly. Ylla's playfulness, 'sense of humor,' charisma, and fearlessness jump out on every page.
