500 Handmade Books Volume 2 (500 Series) Reviews


  • Sheri Maxey-Wilson

    Nice pictures, but not very informative.

  • Lou Griffiths

    Very inspiring, I would love to see most of these books in real life.

  • (Tracy's) Book Balderdash

    Great book of book art, but I, frankly, found a book about next to useless books a bit repetitive. I like art, don't get me wrong, this is the perfect book if you love looking book art!
    Enjoyment: 2/5
    Beauty: 4/5
    Meaningful-ness: 1.5/5

  • NancyS

    I really liked this book. It seemed to lack a bit of the creativity of the first volume, but it was still a great book.

  • Michael Goodman

    A beautiful collection of handmade artist books by first class book artists.

  • Sue

    A worthy sequel to the first book.
