wonderful

This book has always touched me and is one of my favorites... it warms my heart.. we should all gain something from his colorful outlook on life.

very pleased

I can not tell you how pleased I was with my recent purchase of Mark Hampton: The Art of Friendship. I wanted a first edition copy as a gift for a friend, and the condition of the purchase was excellent. I must admit I was very upset when I saw the package forced into my mail box by my mail carrier. I had to bend my mailbox to get the book out. I thought for sure the book would be damaged and I would have to find another copy. I was delighted to find that due to an inner chip board envelope, the book arrived unharmed. Thank you for a great experience!

The Bible of Decorating

This is so wonderful-a nice permanent record of the all time great NYC decorator Mark Hampton. After all, decorating is the relationships that are created in the process. After years of fellowship and love this is the end result. I have suffered cancer and I cherish this volume as his legacy. I recommend all of his books as a memorial to such a great man. His daughter is carrying the torch now. Thanks Duane

Perfect gift for friends

I have given this special, exquisite book to several best friends and they have been thrilled. I am about to order more because it makes such a lovely little gift. I did also buy one for myself!

Another Classic Mark Hampton Book

For those of us who love the wonderful watercolors of the late Mark Hampton, this book is essential. The watercolors in this book are of a very personal nature, whether interiors, architectural, or otherwise. I am pleased to own this book, and I will enjoy it as I do with the other two Mark Hampton books. Note that the price is somewhat steep (...), but given the way the other two books sell on the resale market for many times their list price, a good investment.
