Summary: RUBBER SOUL
Review: I enjoyed this book tremendously. From its Dada cover, to its scores of wonderful illustrations inside, I loved it. Before reading this book, I hadn't understood the folk art aspect of the rubber stamp genre; now I do. Rubber Soul also includes a collection of correspondence art, with its colorful rubber stamp and collage-like effects. I found the images and the text of this book fascinating, a window into other people's creative and personal lives. A treasure.

Summary: Nothing much to even complain about.
Review: Not much of a book here. Seems that it was only published so the individuals featured could buy a copy. As for it being about 'mail art', it's not. Not if you mean in reference to artists known for the process. Basically, it a competent group of hobbists that got a buddy at the university to publish a book of their stuff. Of no interest to anyone not personally connected.
