Catalog for an Art Show
The reviewer misinterpreted what this item is. It is the catalog for an art show that was at the San Diego Museum of Art called "High Art".

This book was a great disappointment. The vast majority of posters are tiny 1-by-2 inch reproductions. So huge amounts of fine intricate psychedelic-art detail is hopelessly lost. There are 18 'full page' reproductions (usually of less-interesting or already well-known posters), and some quarter-page repros too. But most of the space of the book is devoted to text about the art, but I bought the book just for the art. I'll have to look elsewhere for a definitive collection of this most-dramatic, beautiful, and all-too forgotten art genre.
