Sodmeu Miler (Nassau County, NY) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Seymour: The Obsessive Images of Seymour Chwast (Hardcover)

A joyful experience, this book. Pure and simple page by page delight. Starting with an intro text by Steven Heller: Seymour, The Book. In the intro: The Revolutionary Seymour, The Life of Seymour, The Historical Seymour, What Makes Seymour Run, Testing Seymour's Metal, Seymour: The Legacy.

And then comes Seymour's incomparable work, which I got such a kick out of that I didn't want the book to end.
