Amazon Customer said great!!. great!!. "Way far from being a lavish, glorious, and comprehensive work" according to Luis Claudio Portugal do Nascimento. With all due respect, this is, in all honesty, strictly a medium-sized book. It is not as large, lavish, copious and comprehensive, as one may be lead to believe. It is not at all a coffee table edition. It’s indeed thick and somewhat heavy, but not really large. Because of its medium-sized page dimensions, photographs are presented, in most cases, in timid formats (which does, in my view, a disservice to the beautiful sculptures thems. NAVY78 said Great sculpture survey. A great sculpture survey and history. If you like sculpture than this books is great to have around to study and to look at. Great pictures and great quality !
