Absolutely brilliant service from books about
Absolutely brilliant service from books about art
Amazing range of books & great service!!!
Books About Art have so many wonderful books!!! I was worried at first, since I'm a bit of a bookworm, that they'd only have big glossy "coffee-table" style books - you know the type, just with big arty photos? (Which are fine, if they're what you're into!!!) But no, they have plenty of great books you can actually READ!!!
They are fabulously priced & they post really quickly!!! Plus they package the orders really well, so there's no risk of your precious books being damaged....
Thank you Books About Art - you're AMAZING!!!
This is such a rich and detailed book
This is such a rich and detailed book. The examples here are wide ranging and really document an amazing journey of graphic design through the ages. It is really well printed and presented. An absolute feast for the eyes! (Plus it'll bring back a lot of memories)

Recently I have made some great discoveries browsing their website and if I can find any fault at all, it is that the literature on offer is far too tempting, especially at such bargain prices!
