2.0 out of 5 stars Not much to read or see here..., January 29, 2002

By	Hiroo Yamagata (Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo Japan) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a catalog of WSB's shotgun paintings and non-shotgun paintings, with Timothy Leary writing text. WSB wrights a small piece, and Tim Leary writes some essay about... well, his usual upbeat-but-not-quite-coherent stuff. It's rather bad writing, I have to say. Tim Leary was suffering Alzheimers, and this was probably written right before his death, so you shouldn't expect any master pieces, but even with that low expectation, it's still bad.

The designer must have understood that, and tries to save the book by overdesigning Leary's text. A huge font here, totally covering the page, and then just some in the corner... Good try. However, you can't shake the impression that it's cheaply made.

So if you are a huge fan of WSB or Leary or Weissman (you must be, if you are even READING this at all!), you might want to have it. But otherwise, no big deal.
