This is not a long book but it is oversized with reasonable font, and all plates of Muchas work are in color.

A beautiful overview of the artist.

I’m not sure why I’m not a bigger Mucha fan…really nice volume with clear, large prints.

A very brief and summed up biography at the beginning of the book. I learned more of Mucha at an art exhibit I saw a at a museum. But don't purchase this book for the biography. The strong point of this is the great collection of color prints of Mucha's work. Very tall pages help showcase the wonderful Art Nouveau style.

Mucha's work is absolutely amazing, but unfortunately this book doesn't provide very much information that could not be found on Wikipedia and many pictures have been stretched in a way that they have become blurry.
