Je suis désolé, mais je ne parle pas français, donc je vais laisser mon examen en anglais. I heard about Sketchtravel in passing on a blog I frequent, and immediately started researching the book and the artists included. I was shocked to see so many artists that I knew, studied and loved included in this remarkable work. I am an American, and I decided this beautiful book was going to be my belated birthday present to myself. I was not disappointed at all, even in spite of the fact that I don't speak the language it's printed in. The styles and mediums used in the piece vary wildly, and it's nothing short of refreshing to see the range of talent out there in the world today. This book was worth the price, absolutely, and the shipping, and the currency conversion-- it's my favorite art book in my collection, hands down.
