This book is so beautiful and sweet. The artistry is impressive and the content is whimsical. I absolutely recommend buying this.

Great book!

The main reason for buying this book---the illustrations. I think the artist did a great job---the details were amazing. I found it inspiring.

A light in the dark

Not everyone is happy and in love every day of their lives. Couples break up, divorces happen, death occurs. Whatever the reason, despite friends and family there are people who are painfully lonely, watching couples around them with an aching jealousy like that of a starving person watching others eat. Holidays can amplify that feeling of being alone as the world around you seems focused on reminding you that you have no one to share your life with. This Is for You is a beautiful, poignant, interestingly and artistically presented story that gives hope that there is a heart out there that beats with yours. You are not alone. You can have hope. A friend gave me this book today as a Valentines Day gift and there are no words in the English language to describe how deeply it has touched my heart.

magical world

the world of paper artist rob ryan is a magical one, a place in which i wish i could aimlessly wander. lovely, intricate work adorns each page. i first discovered rob's work on the cover of The World to Come by dara horn, two years ago, and have since then stumbled across his etsy site as well. be kind to yourself and purchase this book - no, two copies. one for you, one for someone you really really love.
