Reviews
What an incredible book! Thank you to all involved. I can see it is a labor of love. You have taken the guesswork out of seeing art and not knowing for sure who painted it. What a pleasure!I am a little perplexed as to why Mr. Oberg, who I understand has the largest ORIGINAL art collection of men's magazine art in the world, and who put his name on this book as being the "Rich Oberg Collection" would not show more original art. Most of the art appears to be "tortured girl" art of Norm Eastman, who I understand Mr. Oberg has a connection with, and who paints recreations of the original art for Mr. Oberg. There is an attempt to make many covers of magazines look like original art, but the pixels are present and the blown up covers of magazines just eliminates the titles, and I don't understand why this was done when Mr. Oberg has the originals? There is certainly no doubt Mr. Oberg has the greatest collection of copies of Men's magazines.Just a strange situation. Hopefully he is saving the originals for a third book! Now that book would really be something! In any event this a book highly recommended as a compendium of covers that can help you to identify the original art should you ever come across it. Sincerely, Ashley Batchelor
