content: Being great Roerich fans and being that there is so precious little available in print, myself and several friends were all bitterly disappointed with this otherwise very promising book. Ken Archer is undoubtedly a Roerich expert and all of our hopes were high. However, precious little information of a more than superficial nature was not forthcoming. Whilst the reproductions are good on the whole, some are reversed or wrongly titled....We had heard of this book many, many years ago and were eagerly anticipating what promised to be a great book on a spiritual artist dedicated to Beauty and to raising the vibrations of humanity through the Creative Fire. I am truly sorry that I cannot advise anybody to expect too much from this book. Far better...is the only other book currently available - by J. Decter titled: NICHOLAS ROERICH - THE LIFE & ART OF A RUSSIAN MASTER and this book I can thoroughly recommend.
