5.0 out of 5 stars confused
Reviewed in the United States on July 7, 2010

The book is fine-the Kindle we purchased is great. I am confused becaure we bought these item thru a link that Congregation Adath Israel of Middletown,Ct 06457 has with Amazon. Based on the initial agreement Adath Israel(CAI) is to receive some rebate for all purchases thru this link. Since we just realized that this hyas not taken place for over a year, confusion exists. The original signature was created thru a Paula Lawson who passed away ove a year ago. The contact person shouls have minimum bearing as to the continuation of the program. If it was cancelled we should have been NOTIFIED about that. You are more than welcome to use my husband's name to re-impliment. His name is Stan Sadinsky-%CAI-8 Broad St-Middletown,Ct 06457.
This is not the way business should be done. We acted in good faith and apparently that is a one way street.

A MUST HAVE book for the enthusiast of the 1920's France. Many period photos of the people who initiated this era and those who gave their talents and discovered a new life of living and enjoying. The black artists from America are displayed along with a short biography. A great buy at these used prices.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating overview
Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2011

Interesting overview of various niches within the period/place, with excellent images of lesser known artist's work. A bit Amero-centric, but given the audience I suppose that is to be expected.

This is a fabulous book. The photographs are reproduced well and the narrative is excellent. It now has pride of place on my coffee table.
The condition was very good and the cover was intact. I would buy books of this sort again from Amazon.

A beautiful book with the history of an age of music, art and writing. More than a coffee table book; it is revealing and exciting.
