West Chester, Pennsylvania: Chester County Historical Society, 2003. Hardcover. VG- (Slight wear overall) signed by author on ffep.. Blue cloth, olive and color illus. dust jacket, 240 pp., many color illus. "A sumptuously illustrated anthology that offers a panoramic overview of a richly diverse and creative artistic community. The illustrations in this magnificent collection range from delicate watercolor landscapes to bold, avante garde, and contemporary oil paintings, from finely detailed bronze bust to rhythmic stone sculptures, from haunting photographs to compositions of beadwork and wire. Each testifies to the enduring vitality of local artists. ... Nowhere has the region's extraordinary artistic creativity and diversity been so fully expressed than through these carefully selected images and artist biographies."
