[Cail Judy · Rating 4 out of 5]

A helpful starting place to learn about Wain and his work. Only 13 images to go with the biography, but a solid selection over his artistic career.

I loved Wain's art for many years before I knew much about him. Poor guy. He declined into mental illness. I wish this book had been longer to allow for a LOT more pictures, but I like it nonetheless.
