My View: Although the visuals offered by this book make me question its validity as a teaching resource in a public high school... slash, its meaningfulness for normal people ever... it is stunningly well-assembled when you really delve into it, the work of a natural talent who spent years developing her work. Moving and impossible to forget. An odious book for group discussion, but definitely not one I would've preferred alone. It's just bad. But I'm sure it's important to someone.
