5.0 out of 5 stars High Octane, July 31, 2009

By	Janene Hills "David Y" (Wynyard,Tas, Australia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

A fine colledction from all the 'pop' surrealist greats.I especially liked the quantity of text that occompanies the images and the images themselves are of a high quality. My only criticism is the placement of some pictures across a double page. This is unfortunate because it distorts the impact of the images, but 'Hey'it's a great collection of work never the less. Hi- Fructose sits on my Art book shelf along side the 'Best of Juxtupoz'. They are great and a must for use in any art class to stimulate student creativity!
