Customer Reviews
OK book but, not my highest recommendation...by Anonymous

February 01, 2009:
This book is fun to look at but, after a few pages you realize that there are NOT 1000 different, unique cards represented. Some cards are shown multiple times with minor color changes. Also, it starts to read like an advertisement for Meri Meri Inc. as there are a multitude of their cards shown. Photography and layout are good. Artist index is informative.
Cost a little bit high for a paperback book.
