Wonderful

This is a wonderful collection of Van Gogh -- they fold out. At this price, it's a great purchase, not to mention a first-rate gift idea.

Beautiful images heightened by unusual binding

This unusual book was quite a find. It was made using a binding process I've never seen before. The pages actually unfold in a variety of ways to present images of Van Gogh's best loved paintings in a highly effective manner. Some pages fold out horizontally and present four works side-by-side, others fold out twice forming small posters. The quality of the graphics is excellent--especially the minute details shown in some of the enlarged reproductions. A beautiful volume and an asset to anyone who loves art.
