80 pages that are 8"x8" with all the famous Christmas themed prints by Norman Rockwell. Short introduction of a couple pages of text. Otherwise, pure prints. Nice to have the 'name/nickname' of the print below each pix, + the date, + source (Evening Post, Hallmark Card, Literary Digest, etc). Nice little collection for the holidays.

Nice compilation of Rockwell's holiday themed artwork over the decades. It is good to see his development as an artist through the years.

I enjoyed this book, found on the bedside table where I stayed at a friend's--what a great bedtime read during the Christmas season. Love Rockwell's art.

A beautiful photo anthology of Norman Rockwell Christmas themed paintings with a 4-page introduction, otherwise just a short description under each, full-page photo.
As a young child, I looked forward to my family receiving its monthly "Saturday Evening Post" just to see the cover adorned in another Norman Rockwell painting.
