  2. Beautiful books like this should be loved gently and reverently. The same way you love a women.

  3. Fans of Eric Pape and his art may wish to check out the article in Illustration magazine, volume 53, 2016, titled "Eric Pape, Master of the Pageant" for 50 pages of his artworks, including pieces from this book.
