Customer Reviews

Beautiful book and great artist

I got this book as a Christmas present, as the giver knew of my affection for Mr. Thompson's art. It captures the colors and style of San Antonio and the Southwest extremely well.

Great art from a great artist

I was fortunate enough to attend college with the artist, Bill Thompson, and see his work back in the day. It's a pleasure to see his beautiful representations of this wonderful city, and this book will be a wonderful remembrance for anyone who's visited San Antonio or wants to.

A beautiful and colorful book.

This book is a wonderful depiction of San Antonio interpreted through the artist's unique and bold style. A great coffee table book, gift for anyone who collects WB Thomson's work or has a connection to San Antonio.
