terrific reference book
I have to say that out of all the books I own,this one is my favorite.If you are an artist,in any media,and have a love for the beauty in geometry in natural forms,this book is a keeper.
I was dissapointed
Though the images are stunning...I thought some would be in color. Not full color...but a monotone or duotone...not just black and white.
My professor had this book, but the images were monotones and duotones. So I am dissapointed. I guess I ordered the wrong one, but I really didnt have other choices. hmm.
Worth the cost
Depending on what you are purchasing this book for...my interest was for fiber art work which it fits the bill totally. The drawings from Mr. Haeckel are superb. I only wish they were in color...which you can purchase the more expensive color plate book. But still this is quite worth the money.
Fun book, but better version with CD available
I recommend a different version of this book, also sold on Amazon - link below. I am not sure if it contains the same set of illustrations, but many of the illos are in color, and it includes a CD containing all the pics from the book.
