Reviews
I love this series of art "e-books". As other critics of this series state, the images are not super high resolution, but they are very adequate for viewing on a tablet like my iPad. The details make up for the lack of zoom capability in the main images, assuming you agree with the detail areas of interest. The best thing is the extent of the work here; virtually EVERY significant painting of Breugel is here. And where else can you find a lengthy catalogue of his brilliant drawings, except in some heavy book that costs $75 or more? And this costs only $2.51? Incredible.
