Until I was in my late 20's, I did not know my second oldest brother very well. About that time, however, circumstances in life brought us together and we found that we shared a deep and abiding love of books. He moved to Denver in 1992 from Los Angeles and every time I was there visiting we would go to The Tattered Cover together, a wonderful multi-story bookstore in Denver. We would spend ours there together, but separately and bump into each other from time to time as our browsing paths crossed. One year he bought this book for me because he saw that I loved it and knew I could not afford to buy it myself. It is a wonderful photographic book about President Lincoln, which I always have out on a table. The book reminds me not only of a great president who I admire, but also of a special bond I have with my brother. All the more special because we discovered it later in our lives and it formed the basis of a true friendship between us....less

This is a beautifully tendered story about Renoir's home and life at Les Collettes. The photography is lovely and I have found it personally inspiring to me as an artist. I would think anyone would enjoy this book, whether an artist or not. I always keep it out on a table where I can see it and look through it again, and again....less

I checked this book out at the library in Denver, Colorado in 2005 when I was there for a couple of months because of my brother's illness. The story is interesting, but it is fiction and I think many people lost that perspective and looked to it for answers to mysterious questions rather than enjoying it for what it is ... a fairly good read....less

I bought this set of Beatrix Potter books years ago after reading a review about her as an author and an artist. There was something about what I read about her doing all of her own illustrations as well as writing that ignited something in me. It actually led to an epiphany that brought out my own abilities as an artist and painter. I wanted to have the set of books to look at, read, and touch because of whatever that spark of knowledge was that the story of Ms. Potter created within me....less
