Carnival Perpetual

This book has been around since 1987 ;some time before the era of writing Customer Reviews.So,I guess the honor falls to me to write the first.Simply put it is fantastic!First of all the overall construction,quality of materials, printing ,color reproduction,layout and binding are all first class plus. Cooper's work is spellbinding and her imagination and creativity grips you with every turn of a page. Pure visual rapture.Graphic art is one of my favorite forms, so naturally I was taken immediately. Nature,Puzzles,Script,Celtic design,are some of my favorite intrests and there is plenty here.Her depictions of Tangrams and other puzzles knocked me over. The Landsat image of the western end of Lake Ontario is beautiful (pg.154).In many ways she reminds me of one of my other favorite artits;Bev Dolittle. I just like to pull this book out, put my feet up and thumb through these wonderful pages.It may be hard to find it;but if you do and enjoy graphics;you're in for a treat.Just like you'll find on pages 98 & 99.
