My Review:
Let me start by saying, One Hundred Butterflies by photographer Harold Feinstein, is one of the most gorgeous coffee table books I have ever seen. As I opened it, page by page, my breath was taken away. The full page photographs are large, vivid, and extremely detailed. Butterfly varieties from around the world are shown, most of which I had never seen before now. Feinstein has created a classic work of art that cannot be disputed. This beautiful book would make a wonderful gift.

It sounds beautiful...especially since I spent half of yesterday trying to photograph ONE butterfly that kept flying and lighting on my back porch.
Can you imagine how grandchildren would love this book!
It sounds like a wonderful book for a gift. One for my list.
Saw this book at the Butterfly Museum in Key West last year. It is beautiful.
