fast delivery but …not really a valuable book …
the first one of the series is way better and better printed.

A good follow-on to the original Dover edition which contained at least four or five pages of breathtaking imagination and craft. Durër’s in there too!

After book 1 i was really looking forward to this but it was a huge disappointment.
The problem with this book is that they have scaled down artwork in order to squeeze as much on a page as possible – but what makes the issue worse is that on every page in the book, they have only printed on 1 side of each page!
Also the content isn’t particularly inspirational.
2 Stars for a nice looking cover that seduced me into buying – Seriously do not bother with this book.

Not what expectet, Many images there with tiny details of ornaments that are part of those.
Anyone expecting to see images like the cover with detailed ornaments will be dissapointed, like I did.
Totsal waste of money.!
