from Bulfinch
Price: $29.70
Customer Review:
When I buy a book of an artist work I'm buying it for his artwork not his biography. Sure some background info is a good thing but I would have rather seen more of his work.

| 7. |  | Gustav Klimt: The Ronald S. Lauder and Serge Sabarsky Collections
from Prestel Publishing
Price: $40.95
Customer Review:
I was disappointed in this book as there were only a handful of full page images of Klimt's work. Come on, with 480 pages to work with they could've included many more full page images. The book was mostly text and small pictures filled with his history and artists inspired by him.

from Princeton Architectural Press
Price: $14.95
Customer Review:
The book in terms of images is lovely, there are many smart, funny, and cute posters all by average people who simply want their pets home safely. That's what makes the book bitter sweet, one is left wondering how many were never found. Interesting, but sad at times. | 4.0 / 5.0
