"THE book arrived this morning... what a lot of inspiration within those covers! J.M., Australia

Selecting the images was difficult - only 100 from my collection of 250.
I had to leave out a lot of very fine collage art, by good artists and by good friends.
The final selection was as much about which images looked good together as which were wonderful alone.
I've been fretting so much about the great collages which I've left out that I'm planning to prepare another book later this year!
I have tried to contact all the artists whose work has been selected but there are still 6 who are out of email contact.
