Am amazed... i just found your blog. I love it!

I've been in a fog this last couple of years... decided to look for some inspiration... i own tons of art books myself... almost addictively look for the ones that make the most sense and value. Your blog is an invaluable resource to get a preview before buying! Am delighted to be able to choose between two books of similar categories based on the visuals and your "FAV" tag defintely helps!

Thankyou for the time and energy you've put into this! :) Lovely blog once again.
