The book is a collection of photos of various boxes-- from urns to jewelry boxes to other types of wood containers. The pieces presented are just amazing. There were a few that made me say, "you can do that with wood?" The variety of styles, materials, etc. is outstanding. This is a book to look over and be inspired, and if you have a cup of tea or your favorite warm beverage, so much the better. Odds may be good you will find yourself lingering over one particular photo or another. It was just amazing to look at these photos, admiring the craftsmanship of the various artists. This is definitely one of my favorite books this year. ( ) no reviews | add a review
