Title: This is NOT a book: it is an EXHIBITION CATALOGUE!
Product review: I was disappointed and frustrated at getting this. I looked in America for a book on Dickinson because he is almost unheard of in England, and I was excited to find a title that sounded very promising. When the "book" came through the mail, however, it was such a disappointment as the intro explained that this was a publication to go with a series of exhibitions of Dickinson's work in America some time ago. As a result the little commentary there was too specific to be interesting to anyone who had not seen the exhibition, and was essentially was un-illuminating. The most important part of the book, ie. the images, were poorly reproduced in black and white, with the exception of a couple. Anyone who knows Dickinson will know that his work is painted in muted colours, rendering a black and white repro almost unreadable. Go elsewhere to find stuff about Dickinson; this does not do him - or your wallet - justice at all.
