Customer Reviews

Wonderful book - too long lout of print

This is a terrific book for anyone who loves unusual visual imagery. At least half the book is without text, just gorgeous photos. There is some material that could be distasteful, and you should know that going in and plan to skip those pages if they offend you. I'm not real crazy about the feces photos, for example. But so much of it is great, that it's okay for some of it to be outside my comfort zone. Someone else might not have my sensitivity. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who finds beauty in the unexpected - and in the expected.

Not what I expected. Still a must buy if your into this magazine.

I never had a chance to pick up the old issues 1-13 of the COLORS magazine. So I was looking forward to getting this book. Unfortunately they only take what looks to me as the best page or two of each individual issue. Which is still fantastic but I want much more. Seeing its practically impossible to obtain the back issues this is the closest your going to get. A must buy for anyone who enjoys this magazine.

stunningly beautiful, such imagination... and a look into Tibor Kalman's head through his own notes! Enjoy this book of random and organized art.
