Summary: "Forgetting Room" by Nick Bantock
Review: This book is like a breath of fresh air!!! It has a magic in a very heart felt story and its intriguing surrealistic symbolism. Aesthetically it is quite outstanding and made even more so in the intimate format of the book. I am now very eager to visit the small Spanish town of Ronda! I am sorry that it has taken me so long to discover the books of Nick Bantock, which I might add I am now collecting. As an artist I particularly identify with the author's work and have purchased additional copies of "The Forgetting Room" to share with others. The perfect word to discribe this book is that it is a treasure in its total sum of aesthetic worth and the revelation of the story!

Summary: art book at its best
Review: this is the first bantock i bought, so this is quite precious for me. i've read the trilogy by borrowing from friends and i regret not having bought them myself. but this book greatly consoles me with the thought that i have an authentic and completely mine, all mine bantock book now! the art works were beautifully chosen for the book and i particularly like the 6-folds puzzle. this is one of the books i would never forget despite its title.

Summary: Bantock Junkies Get A Gift
Review: This latest of Nick Bantock's novels didn't have the exotic feel of the Griffin & Sabine Trilogy or The Venetians Wife but was just as well written and, of course, illustrated. The story was a lovely tale of self discovery, more introspective than his other works, but still thought provoking. Yet another masterpiece from my favorite author.

Summary: Not sure if puzzle has an answer.
Review: While I've greatly enjoyed Nick Bantok's books, and this is no exception, I may be terribly dense, but I didn't find much meaning or solution to the puzzle. The illustrations are beautiful, and the story well designed, but I wonder if there is another level I have missed... A little help?
