M.C. Escher : 29 Master prints

The observations written by Escher were interesting. They draw attention to subtleties about each print and his thoughts on being a graphic artist, just short blurbs to digest while looking over the page. He notes how his self-portrait reflecting in a globe shows him holding the globe with his right hand, which is a reflection of his left hand, which was carved into the wood press as a right hand because the print is the opposite and he's really left handed.The large format of the book is nice too. I cut several prints out with an exacto knife and framed them to put on the wall.

I'll be honest, I bought this book to cut it up. There are several works in here that don't have official poster releases ("Dream" for example) that I wanted to have good quality prints of, and this was the largest-dimensioned Escher art book I could find. The paperback binding was rather flimsy and the some of the pages fell out, but since this was exactly what I was trying to do with the book I'm counting it as a plus. The pages look very nice framed on the wall.All in all nice quality prints and interesting little blurbs about them on the opposite pages, but subpar binding (which can still be a plus if you want to take the book apart).

This book is a neat collection of art work by Escher. My son loved it and was eager to ad it to his collection. This is more than just a collection of pictures. The art work is very detailed and interesting to look at. Definitrly an artist to explore

I've loved Eschers work since I first saw it as a teenager. I couldn't beleive this was only two bucks. The quality is very good, thick, heavy paper with a slight gloss. Very sturdy for a paperback and can hold it's own as a coffee table book. Nice enough to frame if you could bear to cut it up. Interesting background info on each print. It's arrival made for a delightfully lazy afternoon spent perusing the pages. Many guests have enjoyed it since. I wish I got that much value fo revery two bucks I spend.

My grandson loves this artist. A great affordable gift for his upcoming birthday

Very happy with this book. Like so many people, I have seen Escher's work throughout my life. But I hadn't learned much about the artist. This book tells so much about M.C. Escher and his art, and gives it to you on quality paper suitable for framing and putting up on the walls. It is a bargain just for the prints! But the stories are art unto themselves and well worth reading in addition to framing the prints.

I had "MY" own copy of this book and my daughter( she's a professional artist and has a fine arts degree) was wearing mine out so I bought her her own. I was able to find another one for her in PERFERT collectable condition. I love M. C.Escher! It is like a where's WALDO? book. You can always find something new that you didn't notice before in every picture These are "out of print" I was thrilled to find one for her in such nice shape!... arived quickly excellent packaging!Rich

His pictures were used for a lot of black light posters.

Very happy the book look as a new one

This book is a must for all that like Escher's work. Perfect coffee table type book, the images are on thick glossy paper and ready to cut out to make prints (approx A4 sized, some a bit larger some a little smaller). A bargain for the price. Arrived next working day, two days ahead of schedule in perfect condition.

Wonderful plates - great book

Love the book. Prints can be removed and put in frame which i will do with my favoite one at no detriment to the book itself.
