5.0 out of 5 stars A great illustrated book about F. Bacon
If you're looking for a book with a lot of color plates and great reproduction about F. Bacon paintings, that's the one (155 in color)! Get the 1983 edition, not the newer one as I heard complaint about the quality of the plates.

2.0 out of 5 stars A lot of pictures, horrible language
This book contains a lot of Francis Bacon's works, which is great. However, the language is terrible: Every sentence is unnaturally long, and it's a real pain to read. I recommend finding a different book if you're interesting in reading more about Bacon.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Possibly The Best Bacon Book", March 2, 2009
this is a terrific book, and if you are lucky enough to find this original edition and not the 2008 reprint(not very good ,small, cruddy reproductions)you will find what is quite possibly the best monograph available on the artist. The essay by Msser. Leiris is classic french surrealist scrabble at it's best, the reproductions are mostly full page and are nice, plus there are several hundred, which is a good thing...don't miss this book, if you are any kind of Francis Bacon fan you wont.
