Remington: The Complete Prints

This book was not received as advertised. Very old yellowed pages and damaged corners with NO book cover. I'm disappointed.

I came across this book at a 2nd-hand bookstore back in 1992 for $13.00 and it remains one of my favorite Remington volumes. The main review mentions a 'disjointed text' but I do not notice nor agree with that opinion. There is nothing 'weak' about this book for any reader who enjoys Remington everything in this book should please. I have a couple good Remington prints hanging in the family room, and until this book, could not come up with names for them nor much history concerning them. It is sometimes amazing just how much Remington is available but has remainded unseen by most readers. But thanks to this volume many seldom seen or never seen prints will be put before the interested reader. And since Mr. Remington, during one of his depression periods, saw fit to later burn most of these prints, this is not only the first book to publish the complete prints, but outside of being seen in this book, since they no longer exist, this is the only place they can be seen. Again, thanks to Peggy and Harold Samuels, another book about Remington showing "the first definitive collection" of prints is now available. These two authors-authorities of western art have given us a new and fresh approach to some of Remington's western art. Not only a good 'coffee table' book but one also excellent for your western art shelf as well. Recommended. Semper Fi.
