The pictures in this book are all extremely interesting, and while some are slighty pixelated, they're all very fun to look at. The majority are fairy tale illustrations, though four are Alice in Wonderland. Rackham's drawings slightly creep you out--exactly what we were going for!

If you've never gotten a book like this before, the cards are four to a page and 4.5x6 inches per card (a 9x12 size book.) Each card is bordered in white.

I didn't buy this book to use the illustrations as post cards, I bought it simply for the illustrations. The pictures are glossy and high quality, plus Arthur Rackham was an amazing, intricate, fluid artist, and his work is definitely worth becoming familiar with. I also bought Edmund Dulac's illustrations, which are equally beautiful, if not more.

The artwork of Arthur Rackham is Beautiful, sadly the prints are a bit blurry, but they are what they say, postcards ready to be sent or framed, whatever you like, I bought this for the artwork itself, not to send or play with, I think this is a good buy if you like Arthurs works. There is a wide variety of his works in this little collection. Though i was a little sad that there is not a lot of his Alice in wonderland work, I am happy with them.
