“…the last word about Nat King Cole for many years to come.”
“…the last word about Nat King Cole for many years to come.”
“…an exquisite tale about heartbreak and healing, critters and humans, and the little miracles life hands us when we need them the most.”
“She presents the most arcane information in a lively, accessible, and engaging way. …delightful…”
“Both art aficionados and novices will find something to appreciate in this offbeat and informative outing.”
“Think of reading this book as the full experience you are temporarily denied today, or may never have had the energy to undertake…”
“An eye-opener …Anyone curious about how the Louvre evolved into its present configuration will find this diligent book richly informative.”
“There’s not really an equivalent anywhere else in the world … It’s an icon like the Eiffel Tower that defines the city. The Louvre is Paris.”
“Recommended for readers interested in the history of France, the history of architecture, and museology.”
“…a delightful mix of scholarly dedication and interpretive verve. This is certainly the best book that anyone will write about Nat King Cole.”
“Like most of us, I’ve looked at my iPhone countless times; having read this book, I now feel I’ve truly seen the thing.”
