This is a spectacular and gorgeous book. It's truly the next best thing to visiting the museums themselves. If you've ever gone to a world-famous museum and wished you could have a copy of every painting there, then this is a dream-come-true book for you. It's pricey but worth every cent. This is the sort of book that will appreciate once it goes out of print and I'll bet it'll be worth several times its price in a few years.

This is an excellent book. I cannot really comment on the text, because I am so taken with the numerous high quality color reproductions from these two outstanding museums permanent collections, that I haven't been able to get to reading it. A must for anyone that is truly passionate about art. Filled with an abundance of inspiration.

This is a beautiful book. It contains pictures of all the paintings you will see at both galleries and much more. It is a treasure to keep to remind me of our trip to Florence.

This book has excellent reproductions and is a treasure to be had. It is however very heavy and you will need a nice desk or table to rest it on so you can browse the many pages and enjoy them. This is not an art history book so for students looking for many discussions you won't find that here. It is a collectors book and also makes a wonderful souvenir for those dreaming of visiting Florence or for those who have already been there. It is a great way to view the vast collection of a world famous museum in the comfort of your own home and to learn the names of different artists and view the works they created. I would not trade this treasure of a book for anything. It would make a fabulous holiday gift for the art lover in your life.

I have never received this book! I have contacted the seller twice, but I stil haven't received the book. I asked him to trace it, and he said it must be lost. I still would like to get this book for my wife!
