If readers have been followers of this remarkable illustrator for some time, they may already have a copy of "Tapestry: The Paintings of Robert McGinnis" published back in the year 2000. Such readers may be wondering if that book is entirely redundant with this one and if this one is worth having. Well, I think it is. Any career overview of this type has certain highlights that need to be acknowledged, and those images are present in both books, but this volume seems determined not to present them in the same way. Images that appeared as quarter-page reproductions in "Tapestry," the front cover illustration, for example, may be a full page here. One image that appeared as a page and a half in the older book is cropped much closer to the figure and is reproduced as a double page spread in this volume. This book also reproduces dozens of illustrations that are not present in the older book. This one includes some sketches and photo-reference. It also features an interview with McGinnis that offers some insight into what the illustration game was like back when scarcely a week went by without the appearance of a McGinnis illustration somewhere.
If you are a McGinnis fan you will NOT be disappointed by this book, whether you have a copy of "Tapestry" or not.

Stupendous. Brilliant. Shockingly good (and that's just the first twenty pages...)

I was a casual admirer of McGinnis' art from his Hard Case Crime covers and rolled the dice and picked this book up. As soon as I was twenty or so pages in I realized that I previously had had NO IDEA of the depth of this man's talent! This is a truly INCREDIBLE book, and one recommend to ANY fan of American art and illustration. It's a seemingly comprehensive overview of McGinnis' career, from hippie-dippie sleaze PBO covers to Mike Shayne series art, Guideposts illustrations to late-career Hard Case masterworks. Excellent reproductions (many full page) throughout, with sketches, roughs, and preliminaries accompanying brief biographical text. TRULY ESSENTIAL.

For some reason I’ve always “really” enjoyed the unique art and retro aesthetic from the mid-century era. This is a phenomenal showcase of works from one of the greatest illustrators of all time.

Great overview of a prolific artist's work

McGinnis worked in a wide range of illustration venues. Unfortunately, McGinnis came after the golden age of illustration thus a lot of his work is in the lower regarded trades, magazines, paperbacks, movie posters, etc. That takes nothing away from the quality of his work but reflects the state of the business in his day. I have seen the art of McGinnis literally everywhere in my life. He certainly is prolific and well appreciated. As you can see, he uses exaggeration to great effect. I enjoyed this retrospective.
