ABOUT THIS BOOK

USER REVIEWS

Interesting but too little information
~ Written on Aug 16, 2004. 18 out of 20 users found this review helpful.

This book is inspiring for people interested in illustration and children's books. It includes coloured pictures on almost all pages and has an excellently informative introduction.

But the text on each illustrator is too vague and chatty, leaving the reader yearning for more information. And what annoys me is that each illustrator seems to mention the ones they admire most, often referring to the same people and to Quentin Blake, who edited this book.... ugh

I wasn't too keen on the cover or book lay-out either - it looks like a kid's text book.
