You know how some coffee table books are too pretty to throw out but not quite pretty enough to look at again? About 2 pages in I felt like this was not pretty enough to look at the first time. Clean black line drawings adrift from context cannot be colored into being interesting. What may have the scintillation and fun lacking here is behind-the-hand gossip about how this tarted-up, over-priced art book got published in the first place. Although that's probably a dreary story, too, judging by these results. Precious. Tired. Disappointing.
