This review is from: Botanicals: Butterflies & Insects (Hardcover)
After viewing some of the original artwork in this book when visiting the Cooper Hewitt Museum in New York City, I purchased this beautiful book. I have actually framed several of the prints which are adorning my living room wall. The book would also make a great coffee table book as the pictures are worth viewing over and over.

This book is fine for those interested in literature, but if you are wanting info about insects... don't buy it.
