It is a book of contradicting qualities. The text is fine, yet brief or superficial in places. The reproductions are of mixed quality; some of them are excellent, others are visibly pixelated. At some point I even started wondering if my copy is faulty. Anyway, it is an ok book for what it is - a very short biography. If there are any negative aspects, they are all redeemed by the greatness of Odd Nerdrum. Happy reading!
