3.0 out of 5 stars Not what I thought it would be, March 4, 2005

This review is from: Mermaids: Nymphs of the Sea (Hardcover)

I bought this book because of all the great reviews and because I desperately wanted good mermaid art. While the book itself is very creative and cool, a lot of the art disappointed me. I was led to believe that the art in this book was beautiful and rare, so you can imagine how infuriated I was to discover that most of the art was either ugly old sculptures or beautiful paintings that I already had in other books! I spent sixty-two dollars on this sucker, and I personally don't think it was worth half that amount. Don't get me wrong; it's not a bad book perse, it's just not the extraordinary work of art I thought it would be. And don't be fooled: most of the paintings in this book are NOT rare. You can find most of them in "Mermaids: Sirens of the Sea", or "Mermaids: Magical Beings" for much better prices. If you can find this particular book for a REASONABLE price, than I definitely recommend it. Just don't make the same mistake I did and spend a ridiculously HUGE amount of money on it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Delicious!!!, March 14, 1999

This review is from: Mermaids: Nymphs of the Sea (Hardcover)

This is one of the most gorgeous books I own. I just wish there were more books on Mermaids and my favorite myth "Melusine". This book is a must-have!! Every time I read it I have the urge to add table salt into my bathwater a la Splash.
