5.0 out of 5 stars theory and praxis, January 3, 2005

By	Donald Kerr "video-audio-bibliophile" (Turtle Creek, Pa) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This slim book is a superlative endeavor for the nascent artist who wishes to grok the tantalizing, intriguing and intricate creations of M. C. Escher's uniquely perceptive intellectual faculties. Do have ample fine- to medium-tipped pencils of several colors at your ready. Also. engage your answering machine to thwart interruption of your artistic pursuits.

4.0 out of 5 stars Escher-esque, March 18, 2000

By A Customer

Color book for teen-agers and adults that want some occupational therapy. Images (as with Escher) are often redundant and beauty is in contemplating the infinite. Don't do this to your kid unless they are already well-advanced into neurosis! (Note: Two-page (non-redundant) "poster" is wonderful for those that like the whimsical style of Escher's creatures.)

If you are a fan of Escher, this is the book for you! I also am having my son color these to see how different colors show different patterns. Great book!
