Title: disappointment
Product review: after having bought the excellent "Gil Elvgren: All His Glamorous American Pin-Ups (Taschen Editions)" by Charles G Martignette Dr. and Louis K. Meisel, I thought this one would be as good as that. But this time, for the first time, Taschen Editions disappointed me; it's a really cheap item, of very bad taste. I understand that there's a lot of nostalgy involved and I can understand that people who lived in those times (50's and 60's) may find something pleasant on it, probably more for the atmosphere the book can evoke in their memories than for the quality of its contents. But if you're looking for good paintings and good motives for your own paintings as it was my case, forget it. At least it wasn't expensive; and surprisingly, the Elvgren's book I mentioned before costs exactly the same at Amazon, for real good american pin up ART, instead of bad taste.1000 Pin-Up Girls (25th Anniversary Special Edtn)1000 Pin-Up Girls (25th Anniversary Special Edtn) [Paperback]
