The books are awesome for sure BUT I think Amazon should warn buyers that this "book" Visions is actually a hard case containing the books Transfigurations and Sacred Mirrors so that people don't buy both or all of them (as was the case here).
(In fact, on the Amazon page it is recommended to buy Visions and Transfigurations....)

This is an amazing collection. If you don't mind spending the money this is the best option for the complete Alex Grey experience. It comes with both of his books in beautiful hardcover format. They aren't just all of his pictures either. There are many, many side articles and writings with pictures describing many fascinating things about his life and works and other teachings. Plus, you get the 6 glossy drawings you can frame on your wall. The book contains close-ups of many of the paintings so you can see the incredible detail put into them. My only complaint is that the little lock on the outside of the whole hardcover casing can be hard to lock because of the books on the inside pushing out, but this is a minor detail. I highly recommend this for anyone craving the complete Alex Grey experience in hardcover.

Visions comes in a hard case that includes both Sacred Mirrors and Transfigurations (so if you buy this item make sure you're not also buying any of these two books). Also, in the case were 6 (if I remember correctly) frameable A4-size posters of work by Alex Grey, but keep in mind that these are not prints of his most known works but rather some new material.

I bought this combo mainly for Sacred Mirrors, which includes the artwork of Alex Grey that I admire the most. This work is beautiful and inspiring, it seems as if Grey managed to depict the human being and the 'energetic' entity of the self in one clear, vivid and transparent image. These works have motivated me after watching the video about the Chapel of Sacred Mirrors.

Transfigurations contains some grotesque photos that I don't really like to look at; the artwork is nice but I think no match to the Sacred Mirrors series.

Both books include text as well as images, i.e. do not expect to have a book full of images, there's a lot of text inside about the artist and his work so you get to know them better.

I would definitely give 5 stars to Sacred Mirrors and maybe 4 stars to Transfigurations, but I'd still rate the combination as a 5-star as a whole. The print quality is also excellent.

Simply amazing!! Both hardcover books have a lot of large, beautful pictures of Alex Grey's art, and he presents quite a bit of info about him and his art. The six framable prints are great, and you can use the sturdy wooden box as a display for the two other pictures that are on the inside of it. If you have even a passing interest in Alex Grey, visionary art, spirituality, or psychedelia, you deffinately won't be disapointed!!

Grab this great book of Grey as a gift. Excellent prints. Great gift for giving to Grey groupies.

In addition to being aesthetically pleasing, Grey's paintings are intellectually provocative, as they show human bodies as energy forms interacting with other energy forms.

A must for any conscious being wanting to heal themselves and the planet. Just by viewing the beautiful depictions that Grey has reproduced from the higher realms of consciousness you are instantly connected with the energy radiating from the pages. Works truly inspired by Divine Love :) And we all know the world can never have too much Love.

As other reviews have pointed out, Visions itself is the name for the package which includes the two books "Sacred Mirrors" and "Transfigurations". Amazon recommends you buy these books with Visions. Unless you want two copies of either "Sacred Mirrors" or "Transfigurations" then there is no need to buy them with the Visions package.

Amazon is great! Got the books fast and well-packaged. These books are amazing, and Amazon is amazing for getting them to me so fast, right before Christmas, and we are all very happy with the transaction. Thanks, Amazon!

These book and prints give you a very complete look at the amazing work of Alex Grey. He teaches through his paintings. You can't go wrong with this purchase!
