Reviews

There are multiple editions of this book, and they are easily confused since Amazon for some obscure reason puts reviews of different editions in the same place. Most editions are medium size (10 inches or less in hight), and I know of only two editions that are more than 12 inches tall. These are the best. I have just bought a used copy of this one:Van Gogh Hardcover – January 1, 1999Publisher: Taschen; Borders ed. edition (January 1, 1999)ISBN-10: 068156797XISBN-13: 978-0681567979Package Dimensions: 12.5 x 9.9 x 2 inchesLink: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/068156797X/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1See the actual publication data on the attached photo. This edition, printed in China, is hands down better than another one that I have (ISBN 3822815888, printed in Slovenia). The colors of the reproductions are a lot more natural, and having bigger size makes a big difference too.There is another edition that is good:Vincent Van Gogh: The Complete Paintings (Part I & 2) (v. 1) Hardcover – September 1, 1997Publisher: Taschen; Reprint edition (September 1, 1997)ISBN-10: 3822882658ISBN-13: 978-3822882658Product Dimensions: 10 x 2.2 x 12.8 inchesLink: https://www.amazon.com/Vincent-Van-Gogh-Complete-Paintings/dp/3822882658/ref=sr_1_12?keywords=van+gogh+taschen&qid=1563912870&s=gateway&sr=8-12
