This book is 5 stars all the way. Is you love stone you need to see this book. Lew French shows his masterful stonework in the many photos this book provides. If you are interested in what can be done in stone and how stone can be used to create a "WOW FACTOR", this book is made to order.Every other page has photos that are "WOW".
The book was not as goodbut not bad. Caught a TV article on Lew French - CBS Sunday Morning. What a fabulous artist. It's still very interesting stuff with some beautiful photography. I bought the book based on the show.
This book is pure pleasure. This is not a 'paint by numbers' how-to book, rather, like looking at a Rembrandt, ultimate examples of stone taken to true art. The artfulness in creating the spaces we live in with stone in pattern, an organic extension of this earth.
Absolutely Wonderful Book. His art is amazing itself and understanding Lew French's connection to his work and how he works with rocks gives even more meaning to his designs.
I was disappointed by the quality of the paper and the pictures in this book. The subject matter was of great interest to me, but I don't think this book did it justice.
