Very large format ( )

I have tons of books about Monet and his garden(s)... saw the 1995 Monet exhibit at New Orleans Museum Of Art... have many prints of his on my walls... I even grow water lilies myself. But this book is the best you can get if you're specifically into the minutiae of this guy's water lily paintings, simply because it's extra big / long (even bigger than the average coffee table book), and has many fold-out, poster-sized prints. Basically you're seeing them much closer to the sizes at which he painted them than you would in a regular book. It's simply more bang for the buck. ( )
