I was interested because of Mr. and Mrs. Nelson's book's theme but was pleased to find out that, in addition to getting a succinct review and career outline for each artist, presented, I was impressed with their honesty i could see in their interview. It showed their passion for supporting artists, regardless of your income and space, and that one can/should have fun with it as well. Kudos to them for so abundantly sharing their collection.
