Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Upon entering the field of Collecting Original Art, too many issues are not immediately obvious and the author does not appear to this decade-tenured collector to be well versed in the subtler issues and the titles and illustrations shown from the authors collection bear this out. The overview is well reasoned, however, and appear well meant, but do not address the great classic strips, the education and research that goes into World Class Collecting, and the examples (many of the finer and classic strip titles of which I've owned and which came to both Russ Cochran or Illustration House through my resources) examples of Originals are not up to par with the finest the field has to offer, by any standard. That written, and outside of the pricing section, which truly begs complaint, the book is on balance a starting point for start up collectors, and does stress,within its limits, the issues of specuation and having a true collecting spirit. Good start, but needs serious revision in future editions
