This review is from: Art Of Illuminated Manuscripts: Illustrations Of (Hardcover)

If you love illustrated books you must get this one. It is relatively short at 130 pages[...]This collection is so different from my others ( eg. De Hamel and Backhouse) that it will probably compliment anything collection someone might already have. The reproduction quality is as good as anything I own. The choice of illustrations puts a particular emphasis on simplicity and unusual coloration in the art of illumination.

Highest recommendation.
