Art Deco: The Golden Age of Graphic Art & Illustration (Masterworks) Hardcover – Illustrated, 1 Aug. 2009

The book was as described, used, so I wasn't surprised when it arrived and I found it to have been covered with a transparent film...although badly. However, it does not detract from the pages within the book. So, I am delighted with the purchase. As an art student from many years ago I find this book a great source of information and lovely time spent flicking through a period of art history which had been a great inspiration to me.

This is a gorgeous book with a lot (and I do mean a lot) of amazing pictures/photos.It’s very informative and full of interesting things about the Art Deco period - the pictures are all relevant and often very thought provoking (remember it was the 30s).This is a pretty big book too with a lovely embossed cover. The beautiful picture on the front of the dust cover is also (to my delight) on the actual book itself - sometimes the book is plain and the dust cover colourful but not in this case.The only negative is that some of the pictures show half naked ladies (doesn’t bother me in the slightest) but if you have children of a certain age I’d imagine it would make for interesting discussions!A fantastic book

Very stylish, well edited and presented book.Even just flipping through give the impression of quality product.Money well spent.

A very nice informative book, beautiful illustrations. Was a bit sad that the dust jacket wasn't in pristine condition due to inadequate packaging.

Bought as a present for my wife who loves all things art deco. Beautifully illustrated and much appreciated. Well pleased

This is a quality book - ideal coffee table item - good illustrations and write up on good quality paper.Not much else to say but for those that like Art Deco definitely add this to your collection or have confidence in it as a present for someone.

Very informative and interesting to read. Although a fan of all things "Deco" this book told me a lot that I didn't know before. Beautiful illustrations but I do have a bit of a gripe. The pictures on the page are often not connected to the text thereon which will often refer the reader to the relevant illustration on another page - in one case 30 pages back in the book!

A simply gorgeous book about the Art Deco period in terms of art, fashion and advertising. Stylish and inspiring, great coffee table book.
