Nice, but only 14 pages,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Pin-Up Nudes (Artist Archives) (Paperback)
The production values are good, 8" x 10" prints on good quality paper (non-glossy) with large margins, good color and a soft pastel like quality (it isn't quite a photorealistic or sharp quality but it is very attractive and adds a nice romantic quality). Just be aware that there are only 14 pictures (printed on one side of a page) plus 2 pages of text.

By Jack Smauel (Salt Lake City, UT) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pin-Up Nudes (Artist Archives) (Paperback)
I think this book is very versitile. You can use it as either an acutal book or remove the pages and frame 'em. Thats how good the quality is. The images definately give a great nostalgia feel. I love pin-ups and these women are very classy and sexy!
