1.0 out of 5 stars Superb Material Ruined!, 30 Sep 2008
Agree wholeheartedly with Miro's Mum - Solar Art Directives should be ashamed of themselves for allowing sub standard printing. Words are smudged, photographs are faded...I've got photo stats from over 20 years ago that look better than this! The mark down on Amazon is truly justified - if I'd paid the asking price of £19.00 this would be on it's way back. The material (of course)is first class, such a shame then that Solar Art Directives royally screwed it up!

1.0 out of 5 stars What a Shame!, 16 Sep 2008
By miro's mum (Norwich) - See all my reviews
A lesson in anticipation and expectations! I was over the moon when I saw this essential book was being re-published. First out in '85 in large format hardback this was the best English language text on Bellmer. Still available on Amazon if you've got £280 (last time I looked) - how fantastic that at long last there was going to be a new edition!
So today my pre-ordered copy arrives. What a disapointment! A small paperback that looks like someone photo-copied the original on a duff machine then printed it on cheap paper. Obviously the text is still the same (though the bibliography is updated) so that is available again, but Bellmer's work deserves better than this. Peter Webb and Robert Short's book deserves better than this. I ordered this new edition in the hopes that it would be a great new version with improved printing and reproductions to replace my rather dog-eared original - what a shame! A major missed opportunity.
