  • Happy to find another copy...

    This is a great, quick reference book and also fun to sit down with and just explore. I lost my copy I’ve had for years and was happy to find a replacement.

  • Short but sweet

    Book has very brief overviews. If you're looking for a 'coffee table' book, this one may not be for you, however. It is a pretty thick book, but small in total size and pictures of artwork are small.
