Summary: small, yet informative...
Comment: ... but more about the artist and less about the art. Basically the abbreviated "Cliff's Notes" version of who Edward Hopper was and what constituted his work. The pictures are tiny and do little justice to the incredible artist that he was. If you want an introduction to the artist and his work, this book is sufficient, but not highly recommended. If you truly want to "know" Edward Hopper, check out any number of books by the current foremost authority on Hopper, Gail Levin, or any larger scale reproduction catalog of his work.

Summary: A little book with a lot of Hopper
Comment: Pocket-sized introduction to Edward Hopper from Abrams via Andrews McMeel Publishing, one of a series that includes Dali, Pollock, Van Gogh & others. Features a fine biographical essay by Justin Spring plus many illustrations, critiques & sidebar notes. The size of this book probably consigns it to the gift item category for someone you know who owns a coffee table collection of Hopper's works or who just enjoys artsy presents, which is unfortunate. A version of this book with larger prints would be quite good.
