Review #1

did anyone else actually read this??

Yes, the art pictured in this book is fantastic. It shows some works that are nearly impossible to find in any other publication. However, the writing is simply horrible. The author's style is one of simple name-dropping without substance. If you are interested in reading a long-winded who's who list of artists, composers, choreographers, cinematographers, authors, and scenesters active in the early 20th century, this book is for you. If, however, you want to know more than names, read something else. ...but, again, the illustrations ARE great.




Review #2

Excelent quality and information

Ths Mattew Gale book is full of information specially aimed for the beguiner.
Ilustrations are high quality and are 100% related to the text
The cross refference between text and images is adecuate and easy to follow.
The final presentation of the volume is excelent
