ONE OF A KIND

What a pity that this fine book is currently out-of-print. It is the only book of its kind, drawing together the native arts of the entire Western Hemisphere by art form catagory: painting, architecture, pottery, sculpture, beadwork, literature, etc. The scope is enormous, from pre-Columbian times to the present, covering North, Central, and South America with amazing detail. Anyone interested in native art forms will find this book tops. It is high on my list of favorite books.
