Review # 1 was written on 2008-10-13 00:00:00 Clint Mantin My habit at Barnes and Noble is to grab an art book to browse through while my son hangs out at the train table. He plays, I appreciate (or not) art. This book, in the used art book section, caught my eye in a hurry. There, on the cover, is J. Edgar Hoover in some sexy lingerie. So I grab the book and sit down… There is an inscription in the front: "To Sandy. I love you, Which is Your 1st problem, right there. HAPPY BIRTHDAY." it is signed by what looks like Crail Biecko, who follows his signature with (TV, FILM, STAGE, SAG, ARMY....) It continues, but I can't make any of it out. I really love when people write personal notes in books and give them as gifts. I can't explain why. As for Crail (?) and Sandy, I'm assuming they are no longer an item. ANYWAY.... I flip the pages and discover it's all caricatures of celebs. This is almost an instant turn off because I really could give a crap about celebrities. Then my eye lands on a pic of Tom Cruise and Rosie O'Donnell in bed together. I laugh out loud; my son looks up from the train table. "What's so funny, Mom?" Not willing to explain, (or knowing HOW to explain) I say, "nothing" and we both go back to our tasks. I decide to give the book a chance. I note the table of contents breaks the celebs down into film, media, theatre, politics, thinkers, television, sports, and my personal favorite, scandals. Cool. The art is vibrant. It's amusing. There's a great little interview with the artist in the back. All in all, it was a good use of my art appreciation time.
