Fascinating Work	Customer Rating:
I loved looking through the art in this book, and reading the artist's take on it. I found it inspirational.

Not what i hoped	Customer Rating:
I thought this was an instruction book - it's a "how I created great art" book - I was very disappointed

I'll never look at a rusty nail the same way again	Customer Rating:
For those of you creating found art for the first time and those who have been creating for years ... this is the book for you. Makes you want to visit junk yards and comb thru the muck just to find that special, odd piece that brings your art to life. Love his stories and humor. Will flip through the pages of this book for years to come.

A Beautiful book of Wonderful, Inspiring Work

Customer Rating:

I LOVE this book, it is filled with so many beautiful images that it has inspired me in many, many ways. The stories behind the pieces remind us to look deeper into the art around us and listen to their stories. I was surprised so many people were disappointed it was not a step by step book, art should inspire you to create, not copy. If you don't get inspired by this book, consider seeing a doctor :)

Secrets of Rusty Things Review	Customer Rating:
I bought this book along with another book on assemblage art. I found this book not just inormative about the subject but it was a good read as well because of the artists creative process. I was so interested in the artist's work that I went to his website and signed up for an art retreat he will be teaching at.
