Nancie T Mills Pipgras said Superb All the Way Around. It's not just that there are works from over 75 artists, or that the subject matter ranges from table tops to fountains to showers to a whole mosaic outdoor "living room" complete with a lamp, or that Locktov has tracked down artists from around the world who are so amazing you'll find yourself gasping out loud as you turn each page all of which would be reason enough to buy this bookBUT, the photos are absolutely superb and, better yet, marvelous and multiple detail shots are provided. At last, a book on mosaics were you actually get to SEE things!Equally important, the writing is just superb. Locktov clearly has a talent for . Happy with it Beautiful book.. Four Stars Great ideas wished had more how to.
