CUSTOMER REVIEWS:

the world of ornament -
this book is incredible. It was brand new. I have been wanting this book for years and could not afford the $200.00 price tag and when I saw it for $54.00, I thought it was a mistake.So I acted on it immediately.
Best book I ever purchased and I have a lot of design books

Amazing book! Definitely worth the cost -
This book is beautiful inside and out. I was so surprised, it's a HUGE book, quite literally. 500+ pages, yet the size of my pillow! I throughly enjoyed going through each and every page delighted with what I'm seeing.

It also comes with a DVD with all the images seen in the book. My only disappointment was that the images came in the same format as the book was set in- meaning some patterns were difficult to use. My hobby is to do graphic design, and sometimes I freelance, and sometimes I do it for fun. So this book was suppose to be amazing help for me, as the book and CD promised 'unrestricted use.' But again, a little difficult to extract all the patterns I would have wanted to use.

beautiful.... -
A simply beautiful book in all aspects of the word. Between the book and CD-Rom, worth every penny. Beautiful.

If you want to save some money. . . -
Then check out Dover Publication's "Full-Color Picture Sourcebook of Historic Ornament: All 120 Plates from "L'Ornement Polychrome" and "Racinet's Historic Ornament in Full Color" since Taschen's book is basically just an oversized version of these modestly priced books. Of course, you'll have to scan and manipulate photos yourself since the Dover versions don't come in any digital format.

Heavy Duty -
This book is heavy. Literally it must weigh 20lbs. It is also heavy with amazing content and incredible beauty and erudite commentary. The DVD is worth purchase price alone giving so much royalty free content. Look for tons of wrapping paper featuring these images to appear in stationary shops.
