Review: Astonishing beauty

I hate to give this work just four stars, since it includes a few artworks of astonishing beauty and originality that I'd really like everyone to see. But the book is short, and not wholly devoted to quilts. Some photos are high quality and some are not. It is very difficult to photograph something as large as a quilt without encountering problems with perspective. Still, if the author finds herself rolling in money at some point, I hope she will rephotograph with corrective or telephoto lenses in some huge studio. But the last is a small point. I would also suggest to the author that she repeat each photograph twice - the second time sideways as a single page with no description, so that those with Kindle Fires could tilt their device and appreciate a larger photograph; since that helps us imagine just how awesome these artworks must be at the original size.The cover shows an excellent work of art and drew me in, but there's another inside that's even more remarkable, called "Persian Nights", I believe. It really raises the bar. Wow. Please keep quilting, and publishing.
