Poorly printed copy - print on demand? - very weird
I don't know what is going on with Amazon, but this is not the original book - but a printed e-book, on poor quality paper. As in, not a book in a traditional sense that you can buy from a book shop. The cover is flimsy and appears to be nothing more than photo paper. The printed images sometimes look grainy (not great considering this is an art book). Written on the back page are the words: "Printed by Amazon.co.uk".I have other 'Impact' art books, all very good quality, with glossy pages, proper covers etc. ACTUAL PROPER BOOKS.I emailed Amazon and they are not interested at all in my comments. A shame, because this is a charming and well written book by Barbara Lanza on painting fairies. There are fairies for all seasons and all occasions, and of different ages. The only thing is that there are only female fairies.There's the usual introduction on tools and materials, followed by a colour chart and a short introduction on colour harmony. Throughout the book, there are guidelines and little projects to follow (very detailed step-by-step painting instructions for each fairy, some over several pages). At the same time the author encourages you to follow your own path and discover your own style when you are ready. I received the book this morning so may write a more detailed review when I've attempted some of the projects.If only I could find an original copy of this book, I would return this poorly printed copy from Amazon.Considering this is a poorly printed version, it is not worth the current RRP of £16.99.
