Art Nouveau Frames and Borders: 250 Copyright-Free Illustrations for Artists and Craftsmen

Book had pages literally cut out and others missing, will have to purchase another to be able to actually enjoy this book

This book is packed with beautiful frames, borders and book plates. I believe it is the complete version of two other publications (same author) that were separated and made into a CD-ROM format. Easier on the books binding to have a CD, but this is the cheapest way to get all of the beautiful designs. I gave this book a 4 star rating, because some of the pictures are crudely drawn and the lines are not as crisp as I would like. Many of them do not color well when scanned in and transfered to art programs. If you are happy with the black and white illustrations provided, then you are good to go. Even with the color limits of the scanned illustrations, I have used this book so much that it's wearing out! I plan to buy another copy so that I can cut out the pages of the first book for better scanning. The thickness of the book makes some images hard to scan in straight. All in all, Love the book. Worth every penny.

I'd been looking for an art noveau tattoo design for quite some time, and I ordered this book to see if I could find something interesting in it. I was not disappointed, to put it mildly. The book has got the most beautiful art in it, and I've got my tattoo now! If you want art noveau patterns and borders, this is the book to buy, TRUST ME!

This book was well worth the money. It is packed full of beautiful and ornate frames and borders. Most are elegant, but a few are on the whimsical side. Since they are all copywright-free, I plan to use them for newsletters and scrapbooking. All of the images are printed in black ink. To use them, they will definately need to be photocopied or scanned. This is a nice book to be added to your clipart collection.
