Going to the Getty: A Book About the Getty Center in Los Angeles

Rating:
Summary: An beautifully illustrated tribute to the Getty
Review: A long-time fan of J.Otto Seibold and Vivian Walsh's books, I purchased this from amazon.com for my boss who will travel to the Getty this Fall. I had a hard time giving it to her, because I immediately fell in love with it. Seibold/Walsh are known for their children's books full of whimsical drawings and cool stories. This book, while it takes you through the Getty (by combining Seibold's drawings and actual artwork), sticks to the overall style of their children's books. It's both for kids and adults, and is so fun to read and just look at. One of my favourite things about their books is that you can spot something you didn't notice before with each reading. I highly recommend it, even if you have never heard about the Getty or never plan to go there.
