Very nice!

This is a large coffee table book with glossy color prints suitable for framing & interesting bio about Russell's life having in addition to many full size pages of his famous western art of cowboys, Indian & military, photos of Russell, his wife, & home. He was an interesting man who spoke the language(literally LOL!)of the cowboy, he had adventure in his soul & poured it out in his oil paintings & stories. The prints are marvelous & I framed a few that I love. It's really a lovely book addition to any home library.

A WESTERN HISTORY MUST HAVE.

The Sophia Craze CHARLES RUSSELL is an absolute must read and must have. The pictorial and narrative history presented by Sophia and captured in paint by CHARLES RUSSELL is magnificent. The works of Charles Russell are second to none and Sophia is brilliant in her selections and accompanying narrative description of the life and work of Charles Russell. In a word - magnificent. The Charles Russell works are a necessary part of the similar western artists to serious collectors.
