2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointment that the illustrations are black & white., July 30, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: N. C. Wyeth: The Collected Paintings, Illustrations and Murals (Hardcover)

It should be noted, and future buyers beware, the photographs of the illustrations and paintings are in BLACK & WHITE. Why on earth anyone would reproduce these marvelous pieces without their original color is beyond me. It's as bad as only printing the left half of the illustration or the right half but not showing it in it's entirety.

This review is from: N.C. Wyeth - The collected paintings, illustrations and murals (Hardcover)

This book is very informative for book sellers.

Wyeth has done cover art for allot of books. This book tells of most of his works, and also includes the book Titles that he has done work on. If you are going to sell books you should know a little about what you are selling, this book is very helpful.
