• Gorgeous larger than life reproductions of Hokusai's work and incredibly scholarship make this book a treasure. The exceptionally large format is a bit unweildy, but allows for reproductions of prints in great detail, and more than compensate for the cumbersome size.
• It is a good reference, a great collection of Hokusai's block prints, paintings, and drawings with detailed explications on each one. I particularly like the oversize pages that allow for larger prints and greater details. The colors are fresh and clear, and the paintings don't lose the light transparency between ink and washes. This book is a labor of love. You will very soon forget the cost. I have.
• I purchased this book as a Christmas present for my wife who has a love for Japanese prints. It definitely hit the mark as her favorite gift. (Sorry, kids!)
  
  I would echo Mr Zetler's review in every way. The richness of presentation of Hokusai's works is almost organic. One is drawn into the pages. Even the smell of the volume is delicious.
  
  The copy of the book which we received was perfect, and it had no registration faults. It may be that Mr Fallat's copy had a defect that was unique to it. However, I would suggest that a purchaser inspect a newly-received copy to make sure it is perfect.
  
  The wider, oversized prints are, indeed, split in the center in order to present the full work for enjoyment. At first I was turned off by this, but my wife felt that this does not detract from the print. I would have preferred those prints to be presented on a page which could be unfolded for viewing, but my bride felt that the constant unfolding and folding of the pages would eventuate in their being torn. She knows better than I. I do feel that a choice was made by Prestel, and this book is so beautiful that I believe they decided correctly.
  
  This is an expensive book, but its quality is so high that it is a bargain.
• Beautiful art, quality paper and binding.

• I purchased this book as a 50th birthday present for my partner... he loved it, I love it, and many people who have flicked through it love it, its production value is fabulous in that it tries to reproduce the images as closely as possible to how they would look in real life by making sure ink and paper replicate it as far as is possible. Also it is beautifully bound. Its extremely good value was an added bonus. I would highly recommend this book.
• This collection of Hokusai's life's work provided the introduction I desired; however, there is a major error in production of full page plate 136 resulting in a page protruding, on a diagonal, one inch outside the book's cover.
• The small size of the book does not make justice to the talent of Hokusai.
