This is a book that I have had on my shelf for a long time but never took the time to really look at. Picked it up today and read it in a single sitting.
It was a beautiful and very creatively inspiring book but not what I tend to look for in what I read. I also had trouble reading parts of the writing because of how condensed the text is (it is handwritten). I would recommend this to artists, people who journal and people that need some creative inspiration but not to anyone looking for a "story" through the sketchbook.

Very short, I read it on the train in a couple of hours. I didn't love it, but I found it interesting and it has rekindled my desire to go to Southern France.

A very charming little book for anyone who likes artwork, particularly watercolor, or who needs just some nice pictures to look at. It doesn't demand your attention--it asks quietly, and you can give it as much thought as you like. Made me want to speak French for days. A smile on every page. (May 2008)

I got this book ages ago and LOVED it! :) But I don't remember reading it as much as Loving to look at the paintings... so this time I am going to READ it & savor it! :)
And I savored it! :) Loved the watercolors once again! :)

First off, my edition from the library did not have this cool, colorful cover. Sigh. Secondly, I found the condensed format too hard to read text from, and the art, while lovely, was not as impactful as I had expected; the one exception being the "collections" of things that Midda illustrated together (i.e. breads, olive, boules players, etc.).
