This review is from: American and European Postcards of Harrison Fisher Illustrator: Reference Book, Price Guide & Collector's Checklist (Hardcover)
This is a delightful book and indispensible if you are a collector of Harrison Fisher postcards. I was disappointed that ten of Book Advertising postcards were NOT illustrated. If they have never been discovered that is fine, but even then the illustration from the original magazine would have helped to picture the art color and compostion of that particular card. The colors were also a concern as in many cases the illustrations appeared more muddy than the cards that I own. It is a pity that a dust cover was not also included as already the printed board cover is getting well thumbed! But these little quibbles apart I am very pleased to now own this book, especially as I know which cards I particularly want to add to my collection.

This review is from: American and European Postcards of Harrison Fisher Illustrator: Reference Book, Price Guide & Collector's Checklist (Hardcover)
I bought a print of one of the postcards by Harrison Fisher as a wedding gift and purchased this book hoping that it would include a biography of Fisher and full or at least half page illustrations of the postcards for my friend. No such luck. Except for a very few large illustrations, most of which are not of his best work, the images are all thumbnails of 2x3 inches.Disappointing.
