South Wales Evening Post
Paul Thurlby's books are simply amazing! Works of art in themselves that deserve to be displayed, they really celebrate art and make it accessible, and this book does that especially well. A book to return to over and over again, to relish the wonderful pictures and spot something new every time... Superbly done and beautifully presented, this is a wonderful way to encourage an appreciation of art.
