Wild about Harper!!!!

What a fabulous book. For anyone who is a fan of this imaginative, committed to animals, wildlife-graphic artist, you will love this. The print quality is wonderful and every painting Charley Harper has ever done is cataloged in brilliant, living color! Lucky me, I own 4 Harpers - but feel like I own them all with this book.
