I love the pictures but some of the details seem a little distorted.  I can't figure out what goes to what on some of the pictures.

Very well done but not as many good pictures as I'd hoped.

I wanted to love this book but it didn't quite hit the mark for me I would give it 3.5/5 as it left me craving more information about the projects that Phil has worked on. I admire and love Phil's work so much I wanted to know more about the thought processes and the designing process that went into each project. I have followed Phil as an artist for quite a few years now and am amazed by all of his art projects and will continue to follow his next adventures as an artist.

This book covers the following:
Artists Statement
Series of works, Name, medium and size
Goodbye Art introduction
5 of his 23 projects have more detailed pictures with name, medium and size, there is also some small pictures of the other works
Art Happening introduction
6 of his 16 projects have more detailed pictures with name, medium and size, there is also some small pictures of the other works
Background information about Phil

So all in all there are only 4 pages of text, this is more of a photo book than an information book that shows the amazing art that Phil has created, I still love all his work but would have loved more information on individual projects, something more to read. The art in this book is incredible and I love the ones where there are pictures of the process he has undertaken to achieve the desired results

I was given this book for free in exchange for my honest opinion.

Great photos, but I suggest they could update their history dates a bit.

The pictures themselves are awesome, no doubt!!

But the pictures looks like either from low-resolution source or with low printing quality. A little bit disappointed.

I loved her other postcard coloring book, The Secret Garden, so I was eager to preorder this one. It is cute and has same overall feel as her other, but I am giving 3 stars because the details of quite a few of the pictures are so tiny it seems almost impossible to color them in well because the tips of my gel pens or my colored pencils are too big for the tiny spaces.

The line drawings are a little confusing to me - it is not always clear what part of an article of clothing is attached (not sewn, usually glued) to what part.  The models looked more than a little freaky to me until I realized they were all the same mannequin, same pose, in different costumes. There's not enough detailed information for me to make these creations easily (I sew, although I'm not against using glue, staples, masking tape, whatever, in a pinch). If you have a thrift store with lots of cool cast off within a reasonable driving distance, many of the ideas in this book would be exciting to try. If someone had a good imagination, I might share this book with them to prove to them that they can think up ways to create interesting costumes. But I wouldn't buy this book and give it to them - I suspect there are more useful ones out there. Clearly, though, this book is a labor of love and the photos of costumes created are intriguing.

I followed the 3191 blog from its inception and was very excited to finally get the book. I was a little suprised when it came in the mail because I was expecting a larger coffee-table style book. (If I had paid attention to the dimensions, I would have realized this wasn't the case.) The book is still beautiful, but I wish the pictures had been larger. Some of the diptychs are very small, and it's hard to see all of the detail. I still enjoyed leisurely looking through and remembering some of my favorite posts. I also enjoyed reading the authors' commentary. I might order some framed prints from [...] to enjoy the photos in a larger format.

Love the patterns but photos would make this even better.  The links to the photos do not always work.

I was so excited to finally get this book! I was tired of squinting at the computer screen and looked forward to looking at all the interesting details of the pictures.
 The pictures are still detailed and interesting- but they are actually smaller then on the screen. MUCH smaller. It would have been SO much better if the pics were bigger- tho there are a very few page size. Also better if there were more contrast- they had lightened the pics and not made the background black so they kind of fade into them. The font size is somewhere around -6.
So muchly disappointment size wise but not content wise. The cover is lovely- the embossing and gold title are very nice. It is about 1/2 the size I expected all the way around- but it is still a neat book. Be warned- while you will enjoy the feel of it and the pics and info-  you may well need a magnifier of some kind to truly see the details. I am not sure if I would have purchased it knowing how small everything is- but I will still enjoy it :)

I really like this book BUT...a couple of the pictures are not the correct shape...looks like when they were copied..they were stretched.

The descriptions are good, but a little lacking. The pictures are very helpful, although the details are a little bit small.

Beautifully bound and illustrated book, but I had to take issue with a couple of early Goddess fresco photos; one has always been identified in everything I've ever found it in as Lillyth. not Ishtar and another was not really visible. Also I have read some other works that had a different take on some Victorian practices, but stuff happens. I'm just sorry the book wasn't longer!

I love the pictures and I love a lot of what is written.  But i feel too much is written for those that are wanting to show dogs.  I don't.  i want a family dog.  The  book is divided well and the topics it covers are very good, but sometimes I feel as if I wanted to understand more and read more but it was over.  It seems to cover everything but not going into extensive details.  But it is definitely a book to get over all the others here, it seems to cover the  most.  I learned many things and I will definitely use most of the information in the book.  When it came to describing commands, I would have liked to have pictures of a person giving a command.  That would have been more helpful than describing how to do the commands.

This is certainly an incredible collection of color photos of PRR during the period the book is about. It's really amazing to see the PRR in all its color glory. But the book has a couple down sides that prevent it from receiving 5 stars, IMHO. First, I think there is just a bit too much covered of other railroads. Now I realize that the PRR interfaced with what seems like everyone. The stuff about the LIRR is fine, and of course the subsids of the PRR should be covered. But the other stuff just doesn't belong. I also felt some of the captions go off on wild tangets. I want to know about what is in the picture, not the state of war at that exact moment or other such unrelated info.

We love looking at the beautiful pictures and reminiscing from our trips to the Vatican. It would take days to capture all the pictures in this book  (even if you could take pictures in some areas of the Vatican) and probably not as clear and high resolution.

I love the photos inside this book. I do question what is up with the layout though. Many blank/black pages. That's why I'm taking a star away. I also got this at a deep discount (about 1/3 of the normal price) which helps my rating.
