I think the subject matter is probably more up your alley than mine, but yeah either way it's not bad just didn't grab me especially compared to most of his others.

Been spending way too much on art books lately. Dropped a couple hundred on this Beksinski boxed set, but it was worth the price.

I just went to the website for the book and saw he's doing an event in Brooklyn tonight with Books Are Magic. Which I love. I might have to go grab a copy. I love his stuff.

Did you get an advance copy?
