A mini sized curiosity with both old art and never seen art of Ashley Wood. If you are planning to buy Grande Finale don't buy this other too because all is in the big book. If you bought previously Grande Fanta you'll miss some great stuff in this book.
IMPORTANT!! This book is very small sized and has a square format so, much of the art in it has been cropped to fit the size of the book. All those pictures are in its full size in Grande Finale.

Although it's a very small format for an art book, it's great, and you wouldn't be reading this unless you were an Ashley Wood fan. His work is classic - well informed by mid-20th century illustration, yet definitely contemporary. This one isn't what you'd call a coffee table/conversation piece, but it's nice for a quick flip-through! It's small enough to stick in your coat pocket and browse at your leisure in Starbucks or on the train. Cheap enough to pick up a couple and give them out as informal gifts. This is the first Sparrow book I've seen in person and I'll definitely check out the others! Have you seen his current work on the new Tank Girl miniseries. Nice stuff.

I`ve been disappointed when I receive the smallest art book ever.
I`m the happy owner of Sencilla Fanta, and Sparrow doesnt even score close.
