from 162 reviewsGreat volume
So well worth buying. Full of interest for Beatles lovers, Easy to read text, well laid out with many iconic photographs. Very please I bought a copy.
A wonderful survey
Another great book I couldn’t resist adding to my collection from BooksaboutArt. Full of innovative designs, well illustrated throughout, it gives an expansive picture of western architecture. A hugely enjoyable book.
Rembrandt book
Lovely book, wonderful quality, not read it yet but looking forward to it.
A1++
Great gift
A1+
Now a frequent flyer, I've yet to be disappointed, a wholly brilliant concept that just makes sense.
Beautiful Book
Lovely book with top quality pictures and a wonderful overview of all aspects of Tom’s art.
Also comes complete with a thought provoking introduction from Tom, and a wonderful critique/synopsis of Tom’s background art philosophy from James Fox.
A must buy!
Treasure trove of books about art!
I was delighted to find the particular books I purchased and this is the place to look if you want a book about art. I will be visiting again.
Amazing service!
I will 100% be buying again from such a wonderful company. Fantastic customer service and quick responses with my query.
The quality of the items comes well packaged and promptly. Brilliant source for intriguing books.
Exceptional customer service. Second to none!
When Royal Mail delivered my order incorrectly, to a wrong address, I got in contact and was reassured not to worry. I was totally blown away by the customer service. Absolutely fantastic! I will def be ordering again!
Immensely Impressed
My book arrived promptly and well packaged. I have only read the preface and looked at the photo plates included as other demands have priority now. Suffice to say that the book is beautifully produced, based on that preface and some random chapter previews I know I’m in for an inspiring read. I was totally unaware what we have an amazing ‘Queer’ Blues legacy. I look forward to discovering this underground aspect of my culture and hope that it informs my own musicianship!
Great product and Service
Guy the owner was incredibly helpful and kind. Book perfectly packaged, really happy.
Totally splashed out as it was my birthday on the two Taschen XXL Amazing Spiderman books. Both are excellent, came in their own ASM printed cardboard boxes that were well packed and shipped in a bigger box. Books About Art kept me informed about the delivery every step of the way.
HUGE and beautiful book, sent in a specially printed Amazing Spiderman box. Excellent service from Books About Art.
Excellent book
A book full of ideas so easily forgottenl or overlooked as a painter. A good reminder of techniques that relate to the use of acrylics. Very straightforward, well illustrated. An excellent buy.
Great book.really nice photos of urban exploration.lovely colour palette of the images.
