Summary: I Love Pictures!
Review: Although this book is a simple read with little information to the more interested reader, the photos are superb! Reading other books that are words only don't do as much justice as a good photo. Photo's don't lie-they just show it how it is and you can make your own decision from there. Excellent reference guide. Wish there were more.

Summary: An excellent introduction to a fascinating character
Review: The intelligently written brief biography (in German, English, and French) is magnificently illustrated with glossy photographs of Ludwig's family, friends, and architectural creations, as well as large reproductions of every likeness of the king that I have ever seen. Often, many pages of pictures intervene between paragraphs of text. For someone who knows nothing of Ludwig, this book will inspire a desire to read more. The true fan will want to have this excellent collection of photographs to augment the often crude reproductions in other books, and to see some new views of beloved sites.
