Postcards from the Basque Country

Summary: Don't waste your time
Review: I bought this book thinking it would give me a feel for Basque Spain. Having traveled extensively in Spain I am always looking for accounts of the experiences of others. This "book" (and I guess your have to call it a book due to the number of pages)is nothing more than a multi-page greeting card. There is nothing here but the author's incoherant ramblings and her idea of "art".
Don't waste your time - or money. Why do publishers print this stuff? I would give zero stars if I could.

Summary: Disappointing with little substance. Whimsical, personal.
Review: The publisher's review is misleading as there is only very limited information on the topics listed. The many illustrations promised,which attracted me to buy the book (unseen), are for the most part uninteresting since many are old photos (like a rowing team from many years ago!), or typical "travel scraps", or a page from a dictionary, etc. This is best described as a whimsical scrapbook of her present and her past memories of the area. However, she is indeed an artist; every page is artistically composed.

Summary: -takes me away to another country ....familiar but foreign
Review: This book is chock full of cool pics and quotes that leave you dreaming about the basque for days and nights! This book helps your imagination run wild on visions of travelling to spain or france. The incerpts are wonderfully written and the drawings are beautiful. Las fotos estan muy muy bonito!
