The World of M.C. Escher

This year I read The World of M.C. Escher (ed. by J.L. Locher, Abrams, 1971).

I remember looking at this book in the bookstores when it came out. It was something that I always wanted. I ended up getting several similarly titled trade paperbacks.

The book is something of a disappointment. The essays are relatively pointless and pretty uninformative. The pictures are much smaller and not as sharp as those in the other books I have.
