I enjoyed this piece

I received this book from The British Museum with an order I purchased. It was free, and I put it away until recently. I considered selling it, but upon looking inside I changed my mind. This book is simply beautiful. Every other page contains a large image of a piece of artwork containing a smile, with the smile zoomed in on. On the page facing it, you will see a thumbnail image of the full piece of art. This page also contains a description of the piece, what it relates to historically, and occasionally a quotation from poetry or literature. I enjoyed reading it and found Smile very educational.
