I like the set-up of the book. The conversations or interviews are different from most non-fiction books. I like the variety of the people interviewed, and the questions were interesting and relevant. That being said, I HATE it when art books print pictures in black and white. Doesn't that completely defeat the purpose? I could understand if it was an older book or the art was old and no other pictures existed, but this book was published in 2004 with current artists. There is no excuse for that.
