I spent most of Christmas with my nose buried in this book. I have been a big fan of Bawden since my art student days and I thought this was a great selection of work, beautifully printed and designed. I was so engrossed in it I felt as if it came to a bit of an abrupt end.

The authors had already written extensively about Bawden and modernist painting/graphics in Britain. Nevertheless, this is a very successful attempt to capture the essence of Bawden's work on the capital city,visually attractive and clearly written. The book's price is also attractive.

Bawden was one of the great illustrators of London. This book, with a certain rather surprising cosiness, amply reflects this aspect of his work.
