Comments: Since there is not much to read, everything is easy to follow and find SCORE: 7 TOTAL AVERAGE SCORE..... 7 Is this a must have book? Yes and No Overall Comments: I keep asking myself “Why do I have this book” . The only thing that comes to mind is that it has some really Great Pictures. The information is very basic plastic info and the Modern Designers section would have been a really nice addition if a little more effort was made to show pictures of their marks. Most of the Modern Artists are signing their work and a few closeups would have been nice. This will make for a great picture book to leave on the coffee table. | |
