"If you are looking for inspirational, high quality photographs of some of the best fine art bookwork out there, this is for you. A few of the artists' books featured in here are also illustrated in other books, but the quality of the photographic reproductions here is so top notch that even though I'd seen some of the work before, it didn't matter all that much. The reproductions are fresh and full of detail. Each entry is accompanied by a nice little blurb from the artist explaining the work. Keep in mind that this is a catalogue from the National Museum of Women in the Arts. It is not a how-to, and the artists do not give instructions for making similar work or anything like that. This is for inspiration and enjoyment, with a little bit of art criticism thrown in. It's refreshing to see work of such originality and high quality, reproduced so well."

- So, I did not give this 5 stars, although if you're looking for a "coffee table" or "inspire me" book, this is definitely AMAZING. I was looking for a little "more" out of it and so returned it. I thought it would be a bit more detailed for the work itself. So, if anyone wants a book on altered books and books as art that is even somewhat instructional or has examples, then this is NOT the book for you. If I had room on my book shelf for something that is "eye-candy" then this would be IT. It is awesome to see these artist's work. I just wanted something more hands-on than what this book is.

- This is one of those products which is true to its theme from the moment you unwrap it.Being a book about the beauty and creativity of books it has itself to be worthy, which it certainly is. It is a pleasure to hold and to explore, as the design and concept have been carefuly considered.
The examples chosen are rich and varied and are divided thematically.The problem is that so many of the books are enormously intriguing that one wants to handle them to discover their mysteries. However the descriptions are usually very good and do allow one to at least understand the concept of the creator.If you love books as art, this is a truly wonderful possession. - This is a tome devoted to women whose wildly creative approaches to book arts
will inspire all. I plan to order more for gifts. - loved it!
- This book is a wonderful review of the art of books as contemporary sculpture. As a fiber artist-bookmaker-handmade paper maker, I bought a copy for my own library, then gave another copy as a gift to a fellow artist who was interested in using books and book images in art. Inspirational as well as informative. I look forward to seeing the actual exhibition.
- I do love this book! This is a wonderful book as is other books from the National Museum of Women in the Arts. I'm so happy carries this and other books such as "Push Paper," "1000 Artists' Books," ... with many more creative and imaginary content. Thank you!
- Incredible women artists with amazing altered books. A truly wonderful collection. It is soo inspriring. The book itself is well presented, with lovely photos and so forth. this book shows that altered books arnt just craft, they are ART. Well worth the price!! (BTW if you couldnt tell from the title this is an art book not a how to book)
