5.0 out of 5 stars Size Matters -- Art Books Should Be This BIG, Oct 24 2002
This review is from: Celestial Gallery (Hardcover)
When it comes to Tibetan Buddhist art, size matters... especially when there are many "things" as what you would find in mandalas.

This book is big and heavy. The paper quality is good and almost all pictures are full-page size, which makes them suitable for framing.

If you love Tibetan Buddhist art, you will love this book and find that it is worth the price.

5.0 out of 5 stars My Personal Favorite Priceless Book!, April 26 2002
By 
Charles Wildbank (Westhampton Beach, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Celestial Gallery (Hardcover)
Someone suggested I purchase this book, so I ordered it through Amazon.com but had never anticipated its magnificence! For one thing, it is HUGE and a work of art! I have had this for a year now and I still treasure it. One afternoon, I had a Buddhist monk as guest and remembered to show this intricately jeweled book to him. We had a wonderful hour together going over the illumined detail on these pages of mandalas. Who is this wonderful artist Romio Shrestha, we thought? The text especially written by Deepak Chopra for this large book throughoutits chapters in large print make for a nice tapestry of inspired thought-sharing and insight into the Wheel of Life and Man's dual nature. This is a real museum piece and well worth the price tag!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, Nov 6 2001
By 
Jim E Merriam (Somewhere in Honduras) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Celestial Gallery (Hardcover)
The size of this book makes it awkward at first to use and behold. However, once you open it and stare at the beautiful full-page paintings on high-quality glossy paper, you begin to admire it and rever it. The quantity of paintings included also outweigh the cost of the book.

Anyone interested in buddhist thangkas and paintings will treasure this hardcover book for the rest of their lives.
