3.0 out of 5 stars Great photos.....too small, January 30, 2008

By	Love It "Kathy" (West Palm Beach, FL USA) - See all my reviews

I thought the idea of this book was interesting, after seeing it on Martha Stewart. I purchased 2. Was quite dissapointed with the size. It was so tiny......This would make a great coffee table hard cover book. It was soft cover and small, could not get the full effect of the photos being that small. All in all, I would not purchase it again for a gift in this format. Pictures were pretty though.

5.0 out of 5 stars Look upward to...joy, March 18, 2009

If you look at clouds as a dynamic natural phenomenon or at the cloud shapes (we anthropomorphic beings)and label them, you will love this pictorial book. The author is also creator of CLOUDSPOTTERS, an organization out of London. I joined. I am also writing a book for kids from 10 to 80 called "Dragoncloud."

Would have been nicer if the format of the book, which is all pictures, had been larger and on a better quality paper stock.
