A collection of Escher in large format, with a short introduction and bio of the artist. I love the art, but this book only reproduces 9 of Escher's works in color - the rest are black and white. For these the colors used are noted in the descriptions (!). Maybe the editors will do a companion for Michelangelo, with the Sistine Chapel in monochrome Poloroids... ( )

I love this book. One of the best things about it is that the discussion of the collected works, which just points out interesting parts, without trying to guess the mindset or meaning behind them.

I've had it for many years, and it still looks (relatively) new. Sometimes I consider getting a new copy, just in case, so as to save the original. Then I remember that I am also old, and that my daughter has her own copy, and that there's no need. ( )

small doses of escher are better. i get tired of looking at his work. it was interesting to see his non-typical work. ( )
