Let customers speak for us
from 244 reviewsSuperb nd exemplary Customer Service.
I had inadvertently ordered 2 of the same books, but this was very promptly corrected for me by Guy, the owner. I couldn't fault the customer service. Even after delivery to local DHL shop failed (shop had stopped servicing DHL deliveries - due to poor DHL service, despite DHL website offering that shop as option!) Guy went out of his way to ensure this was delivered to me. Definitely recommend. Above and beyond service 👍

Helpful guidance on techniques used by master painters
I haven't used this book yet, but as a novice oil painter, it will be very helpful in learning techniques used by the masters, albeit quite basic approaches and styles. It gives step-by-step guidance via illustrated tutorials, basic information such as equipment and the colours to use in each exercise areprovided. What could possibly go wrong?
Accessible and engaging
This is a comprehensive overview of works of art from earliest times until the late 20th century. It's immediately accessible to read and engaging. My only grumble is that many of the photos are small and in black and white. The text and the works themselves merit better treatment, but that would make this already weighty tome unmanageable and prohibitively expensive. I'm very pleased with this book and will enjoy it.
