Romanticism A&i

Rating:
Summary: Great book, but where's the hardcover coffee table size?
Review: Don't get me wrong, this is a great book. It encompasses almost all critical art and art history of Romanticism, and is complimented by a zesty layout and visually stimulating pictures throughout. But my one question is: WHY DO YOU PRINT THIS BOOK IN THIS SIZE? This book deserves to be two or three times this big... if not bigger. If this book was sold in only a 20'x20' version, you can bet that I would buy it. Maybe a good idea (editors of this book listen up!) would be to make full-size replicas of all the paintings within and sell this book as a series of giant tear-out sheets, so we could display these wonderful pieces of art in our own homes. Then you could keep the text version of the book in its original size and it would accompany the paintings. Another qualified idea is to have photographs or interprative sketches of the artists whose paintings we are studying in this book. It's nice to know what the people who made such beautiful art looked like.
