Summary: An inspiring collection
Review: Many of the pieces in this book are currently on diplay at the Museum of International Folk Art in Santa Fe NM; and if you happen to be in the area I recommend you visit. The presentation is as interesting and original as the pieces themselves. The current display is organized around the theme of Lewis Carroll's "Through the Looking Glass"; and is a unique and inventive way to arrange a museum collection. If you have any interest in art, and are curious about the original and interactive ways museums can show their pieces, you will enjoy your visit. Lloyd Cotsen and Neutrogena have a great and inspiring collection, and this book serves as a good overview.
