I bought this book thinking I would give it as a gift, but I liked it too much for myself;) The British Museum has almost a complete collection of Durer's paintings, woodcuts and etchings and this is a small book of best known works. It is beautifully laid out with a page for an image and the opposite facing page for some description or commentary. I was surprised to learn that Durer's "landscape watercolors are the earliest pure landscape studies to have survived in the history of Western art."
