This retrospective, like many books that accompany "one man shows" is a once over lightly. Like other exhibit companions, biographical information has all been printed before and kudos and admiration appear on every page. Like an exhibit catalog, the photos are too small to do real justice to the works. The treat of this book is having a sampling of Ringgold's different periods and themes in between two covers. While not the intent of a book like this, I hope to see, one day, a full scale biography of this unique person and how her talent grew.
