N by E
"Twenty-nine years after his death, [Rockwell] Kent has returned with a vengeance.  Not since the height of his pre-McCarthyism popularity has so much of his work been available to the public." —Smithsonian"Kent was a superb, romantic, stylized illustrator and designer . . .  New collectors of Rockwell Kent's work, as well as those nostalgic for their lost or stolen copy of N by E,  will be delighted with this representation of his art . . .  It is still impressive." —New York Times Book Review"Rockwell Kent was something of a modern-day Renaissance man.  He was a major painter and illustrator, a writer of some note.  He was proficient as well in lithography, farming, poetry, architecture and indeed the raising of Great Danes . . .  [N by E  is] a beautiful book featuring Kent's stark woodblock prints . . .  the whole thing [is] a treasure."—San Francisco Chronicle"A classic among sailing stories . . .  His account of life among the rugged seafarers in those sections of the North Atlantic and of coping with hostile weather conditions is some of the best sailing reading available . . .  N by E  is made all the more enjoyable by more than a hundred of his famous woodblock prints, illustrating in bold detail his masterful account of a true adventure." —Houston Post
