Obviously if you don't like Mucha's art, this will get a much lower rating. I do and it's great seeing all the masterpieces in this coffee-table book. Also interesting stuff about the artist and his enthusiasm for a Slavic revival (a movement of which I know little).
Worth it if you're a fan. If you've never heard of it, you might become one.

“The purpose of my work was never to destroy but always to create, to construct bridges, because we must live in the hope that humankind will draw together and that the better we understand each other the easier this will become.”

This was a wonderful read! Dive in with a cup of tea and it’ll feel like you’re really there. Just enough info to retain and so much art that is beautifully printed!

The art and variety from one artist is amazing but I wish some of the scans of the art were higher quality
