2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Beautiful Book but smaller then expectedBy NCSavvyShopperMomI bought this book as a gift for my mom as we have a large painting by Nelson in our living room. The pictures inside the book are beautiful but the book is very small. It is own fault for not verifying the size of the book before ordering but I would warn that because of the small size it is difficult to fully appreciate the beauty of her paintings. Nice stocking stuffer though for the Holidays.
