I bought this book on a whim whilst buying Christmas presents in an independent bookshop. The cover got me first, then the weight of the book. I picked it up and balanced it in my hands and began to turn the pages. Had it not been for the book seller whose shop was stocked with such gorgeous books, both hardback and softback then wouldn't have found it. I have browsed its pages every day, dipped in and out of the text. It is beautiful.
That is the way to buy books, supporting the experts who edit the massive amount of books that are published by buying at independent bookshops. That way a fair price goes to all concerned, from the creater of the book, to the publisher. So that is what I would recommend. It is well worth it if you love David Hockney, books as beautiful objects, art.
I am told that the first edition is now fetching £100. Hmmmm... never really thought of books as investments.

This book contains much of the material filmed in the recent "Imagine" programme by Alan Yentob on the BBC. Views of Yorkshire seen with Hockney's unique vision putting landscape painting in its rightful place at the top of the British Art pile.
Great pictures, not too much text, good book.

When you have subject matter this good, all you need is beautifully printed images, insightful comment, in a well bound book. This is exactly what you've got. This book is in pride of place in my lounge and read/ browsed nearly daily.

I love this book, I was lucky enough to be in the Royal Academy last year when it was published and snapped it up immediately. Read more

Wonderful. An interesting book with excellent quality pictures.
The quality of the colour pictures is far superior than those in the RA catalogue. There may not be as many pictures, but if quality is more important than quantity, then buy this... Read more
