Beautiful!
I love the art of Jack Vettriano. This book gives a brief overview of how his style came into being, and shows much of his glorious works. I also like that in the back is a listing of his art showing dates and what pieces were in each show. So glad I purchased this book.

Jack Vettriano Coffee Table Book
This is a wonderful synopsis of the paintings and his thoughts as he worked on them.A very interesting peek into the author/painter's mind.It makes the pictures come alive.

Great pictures for any Vettriano Fan!

the singing waiter
care should be taken as to the age of the purchaser of this book. some images are close to being pornographic. take care that it does not get into the hands of the young.

Great Book
What a very good book, it doesn't show every painting in the different series but you get to see most of them.Unfortunately it only covers his work up to 2004 and not to date, but still a brilliant book. ... Read more

Fantastic!
I read this book three or four times when I was in high school in the 1970s. Came across it again and reread it. It's still great.

Nobody Loves a Drunken Indian
The book was delivered in a timely manner and was in the condition as advertised.

One of my favorite all-time books
My older sister was a librarian when this book came out.Think I was [quite young] when I first read it (what can I say, I was precocious!).I was always the type of kid who rooted for the horses and Indians before even thinking about the cowboys.This book made a *huge* impression on me.

For a white-bread Army brat, it was hard to imagine the life on the Paiute reservation, but the author's words were able to give me a very good, if not very wanted, understanding of just how rough it was - the amenities that we take for granted they didn't even have as an option, like electricity and TVs, and even more importantly, basic medical care.

Flapping Eagle's "don't tick me off" attitude and his dealings with Snowflake, Mike, and especially H-Bomb, made me love him from the get-go.He wasn't afraid to speak his mind and stick up for what he thought was right.

From the beginning where you meet the main characters, to the drunken attempts to ride a drunken H-Bomb while avoiding his big teeth, to the train that was hijacked, the equipment that goes over a cliff, the court proceedings, and the final scenes in Phoenix, the book pulls you into the story and real life takes a back seat until you turn the last page.

I am a voracious reader and this story affected me to the point that even now, 30+ years later, the book is still in the top 10 of my favorite all-time books.Read it.You won't regret it.

Would rate it a 7 if i could
This is one of my favorite books of all time; the story just draws you in, and keeps you there.I know this book is out of print, but get a copy of it any way you can.

A Must Read
I first read this book in high school and I fell in love with it!It's been over 20 years, and I still chuckle when I think about Flap, Eleven, H-Bomb and all the other unforgettable characters and their many wild and crazy adventures.I've since married into a Native American family, and I realize that many of the problems that the author pointed out with humor back then still exist is some degree today.Crude language not withstanding, I think that this is a great book and should be a must read for anyone with a social concience. ...
