Derek Jarman's Sketchbooks

This book greatly exceeded my expectations. I've followed Derek Jarman's films, writings and artwork for many, many years, and met him a number of times during the Edinburgh Festival. What I've seen of entries in his sketchbooks has intrigued and inspired me, so I decided to treat myself to this beautifully-produced book. When I purchase art books, I often skip the essays, as they are often dry and academic, and don't enhance m experience of the artwork. In this book, the opposite is true. The written pieces ('essays' is the wrong word) are personal and anecdotal, beautifully written, and add something very special to this very, very special book.

all very good

Excellent gift for my friend who had been to the Derek Jarman Dungeness exhibition in London for her birthday. A high quality book, well packaged and arrived swiftly.

A fabulous book, very interesting
