"THE book arrived this morning... what a lot of inspiration within those covers! J.M., Australia

Selecting the images was difficult - only 100 from my collection of 250.
I had to leave out a lot of very fine collage art, by good artists and by good friends.
The final selection was as much about which images looked good together as which were wonderful alone.
I've been fretting so much about the great collages which I've left out that I'm working on another book to show more of the collection!

BOOK SALE
I started trying to tidy my lair and found I've got more of these books than I thought.
So I've greatly reduced the prices ... is it better to sell at less than they cost than it is to just keep them?
It seems logical anyway. Enjoy!
Oh, and if you want more than one book sent in a parcel, you need only pay one lot of postage.
