“One Hundred Butterflies” – Book Review & Giveaway Contest *CLOSED*

In One Hundred Butterflies, photographer Harold Feinstein showcases butterfly varieties from around the world, turning exquisite details into mesmerizing works of art. Feinstein’s breathtaking photographs capture the color, vibrancy, and infinite variety of patterns that occur on the wings of these ornate insects. One hundred impeccably reproduced, oversized photographs allow viewers to appreciate the Blue Morpho of Central America, the African Birdwing, and the Asian Swallowtail at a scale and depth impossible to experience in nature. An elegantly printed deluxe gift book, it is a treasure for butterfly enthusiasts and art lovers alike.

About the Author:  Harold Feinstein’s distinguished career in photography began in 1950, when Edward Steichen purchased his work for the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art and exhibited it frequently during his tenure there. Feinstein’s photographs have also been exhibited by and represented in the collections of the International Center of Photography, the George Eastman House, the Museum of the City of New York, and the Musie d’Art Moderne in Paris. His work has appeared in such periodicals as Life, Audubon, Connoisseur, and Popular Photography. He is the author of 100 Flowers, Foliage, The Infinite Rose, and The Infinite Tulip. Feinstein lives in Merrimac, Massachusetts.

Review

By: Review Board Member “Decotta” (@Decotta on Twitter)

One Hundred Butterflies is a very large (11″ x 13″), very beautiful “coffee table” or “gift book.”  I was amazed at the photographs!  It would be rare in real life to have the opportunity to see the color, pattern and detail of butterflies that’s depicted in this book.  I also learned much about butterflies in the Foreward by Fred Gagnon.  I would definitely recommend this book even if just for the beauty of the photographs alone.  One Hundred Butterflies would make a great gift or a lovely addition to your coffee table, nightstand or bookcase.

Although a giveaway copy was not included from Hachette Book Group, Housework Haters Club has decided to offer the review copy of One Hundred Butterflies to one lucky winner in our Giveaway Contest.   (Retail $50.00 US/$59.99 Canada)
