Steadman's text here is as witty as his drawings. A delightful, beautifully organized and illustrated guide to the night skies... an excellent reference text, rich in content and detail. Loaded with photographs and illustrations that accompany lucid, instructive text... helps would-be astronomers find their way around the night sky Strangely compelling.... Steadman's artwork takes on a life of its own.--Terry Peters"North Shore News" (03/09/2007) Steadman's text here is as witty as his drawings, both illustrating not only Freud's classification of jokes, but also the events of Freud's life. Strangely compelling....In typical Steadman style the drawings go beyond a normal perception of an idea and leap ahead into the bizarre mindscape where Steadman's artwork takes on a life of its own.--Terry Peters"North Shore News" (03/09/2007)
