I think the contents (words and images) are lovely, but just feel the finished book had the potential to have been a little more special.Playing by the bookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02761644438775249830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4975909435202379066.post-39465666330780001152013-09-29T16:55:34.823+01:002013-09-29T16:55:34.823+01:00Interesting thought Zoe...and a miniature book *wo...Interesting thought Zoe...and a miniature book *would* be magical. I don't feel the increase in size is to the detriment of the art work though.

Imagine this book as a miniature book - there wouldn't be a better stocking filler / treat for christmas. As it is, it's definitely a good anthology, and an interesting departure for for Ray in terms of techniques, but it doesn't quite make a 5* book for me personally.Playing by the bookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02761644438775249830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4975909435202379066.post-610847770816270922013-09-29T11:30:44.518+01:002013-09-29T11:30:44.518+01:00Lovely review.

And eek, I don't like to think about how not-so-long-ago 19 years was for me either ;-) This book is stunning, definitely needs to be on every gift list!childledchaoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16593246633519249486noreply@blogger.com
