Let me first state that you can buy this book autographed by the Author from the Norman Rockwell Museum directly from their site for $149.

The book itself is a bit anti climactic for me. It encompasses all of Rockwell's work but showcases it in GLORIOUS BLACK AND WHITE!!!

Yes folks its everything you ever wanted to see in none of the color. The few color plates you do get are stunning however. There are just too few to offset the disappointment.

This book has to be seen as a catalogue of Rockwell's work. In fact we get to see variations of the same illustrations in different forms.

Its a great book and I highly recommend it after you've bought all the other books the illustrations are taken from. Buechener, Guptil, Finch etc.

If you wanna start your collection of Rockwell art books get the saturday evening post covers (Starkey, Flythe)the complete cover collection 1916-1971. Then go from there. So far it is the best quality book Ive found that showcases color print in finest detail.
