2.0 out of 5 stars Not worth it, February 26, 2006

This is like getting a collection of postcard, although the pictures are really nice, packaged in a really fancy, handmade paper holder. The pictures are also reproduced way too small to really appreciate them.

This review is from: Ashes and Snow, Book 7 (Paperback)

I just received shipment of this "book" about 15 minutes ago and I must say, I'm VERY disappointed. I couldn't believe I paid $30.00 plus S&H for it!! This "book", and I use the term lightly, is more of an envelope, containing 15 postcard-sized photos. Looking at it on Colbert's site makes it look like a true (much thicker) book. I actually measured it: it's only a quarter-inch thick! Sure the photos are OK, but I could just as well look at them on Colbert's site.

I'm a multi-media artist, and I'm all for supporting my fellow artists, but I would feel guilty putting together a "book" such as this and charging $30.00 for it; apparently, Colbert isn't feeling any guilt.

The exotic, handmade paper the photos are enveloped in is nice, and is most likely what you're paying for (perhaps I'll use the paper in my artwork). I'd return it, but it's not worth the shipping and handling, besides I don't want to invest anymore money into it.

So, my advice is this....don't buy "Ashes and Snow". If you want to view Colbert's photos, go to his site; it's really a nice one...and it's free. What a terrible rip-off.

I didn't want to give it a star at all, but this site wouldn't let me continue unless I gave it a rating.
