review 1: This is short artistic picture book. I looked through this whole book at a Barnes & Noble while waiting to be picked up by my hotel. It is that short. Nevertheless, it was one of the most enjoyable five minute periods I've had in a long time. The artist takes regular scenes and "cleans them up." Each piece is two pages. The original on the left and the cleaned up version on the right. The pictures were pretty humorous to me. This is a good coffee table book.
review 2: This is an interesting enough book, but less engaging maybe than I expected it to be. My favourite bit was the inside covers, front and back, which at least were a bit cheeky: the front inside cover had, for example, popcorn, random scattered coins and potato chips. Then the back inside cover had ... morea cob of corn, a single US dollar bill, a potato, and a container of paprika. More clever, the front had a bunch of flags, including the US flag and the Greek flag, then on the back there were simplified versions of all the flags --the US flag became the Chilean flag (split in half with a red band across the bottom, the top left third is blue with a single white star and the right two-thirds is a white band) and the Greek flag became the flag of Finland. The rest of the book... I don't know, it was fine, but was kind of a five minute flip through and then I was done. less
