I'm in charge of the NARGS Book of the Month and boy, do I have a gorgeous book for someone to review. It's The Golden Age of Botanical Art by Martyn Rix. The pictures are exquisite and are primarily from the mid 1700's to mid 1800's although earlier and later periods are included. The pictures are supplemented with information about the artist and their era.
I'm seeking a reviewer with, ideally, knowledge of botanical illustration and art history. The reviewer will be expected to email me an approximately 500 word review within three months (or I'll put a hex on your plants!). In exchange you get to keep the book. Reviewers are not required or expected to pay for the book they review. The list price for this book is $35.
If you are interested in reviewing this book please drop me a couple of lines as to why you are well suited to review a book on botanical art.
I am willing to ship this book to Canada but our overseas members will need to pass. It's quite heavy and would cost a fortune to ship overseas.
