[Rachel · Rating 4 out of 5]

I mean, it's hardly a "read", and though there is writing I mostly just wanted to see the wonderful art of Lynd Ward in mostly one book. This big ole coffee table book definitely fit the bill. Love the ILL system that brought me this book from Kenai!

Would love to have some the prints made in the 1940's and later in our home. Really beautiful.
