Review of "This Rimy River", May 21, 2000
This review is from: This Rimy River: Vaughan Oliver and V23-Graphic Works 1988-1994 (Paperback)
This was a book that I purchased a few years back direct from the company. I heard that there is a new book on Vaughn Oliver and v23's work coming someday soon. In the meantime, I thought that I might write this review.
The book format is big with plenty of lovely photos and nice subtle details (i.e. silver ink throughout the pages). It really makes you see the evolution of his work over the years of v23's conception. There are also quotes throughout the book from fellow musicians and designers who have come to know Vaughan Oliver that make for a very nice retrospective.
The only problems with this book is that I wish that it had more text particularly from the Vaughan Oliver himself about his experiences and design methods. The book format is easy to damage and get dirty, and the inks from one page sometimes rub off onto the next page.
Other than that, a good book overall.
