Reviews
The small sized hardback is a very nice book, and is almost EXACTLY the same as the larger hardback version Van Gogh: Complete Works by Rainer Metzger and Ingo F. Walther . The photos, words, and paper quality are the same. Don't know about the paperback version.With the smaller version, the pictures are obviously smaller and the book is much lighter in weight. The larger version has larger pictures and has similar size and weight of a textbook or dictionary. Both are very nice. The smaller book is almost half the price and is better for traveling, backpacks, carrying... so get which size best fits your needs.
