Customer Reviews

For the table, wall or classroom but not for the shelf

I have to agree with the previous reviewer that this book represents exceptional value. If you just want to look at the book then these prints are more than large enough for clear and detailed viewing. If you wanted to take the book apart and use them as wall prints they are also large enough for that. I am going to laminate them for use in my US History class. Two complaints: This is one of those art books that won't work well on a shelf. It's very tall and a little thin, so if there isn't good support it's going to get folded. The other thing is only a problem if you want to use them as posters. The picture information is printed on the left hand page of each print. If you want to look at it as a book that works out perfect. If you want to use them as posters it means that what is printed on the back of each print is information that belongs to another print. I'm pretty sure the publishers weren't worried about people tearing the pages up.

these are FRAME-worthy prints, with insightful descriptions accompanying each painting. if you were to buy ONE of these prints from an art gallery or poster store, you would pay more for one poster than all fifty of these. great deal--great insight into American culture and mid-century values.
