Anna Straight said Beautiful book, How many days until Christmas?. With a husband and daughter who speak Cul-de-Sac-ese (most often when they don't want me to understand what's going on), it can be easy to forget that Richard Thompson is both Cul de Sac and so much more. This book is beautiful- full of fantastic images and text that help all those who love Richa. "Thank you to all who brought this book together!" according to Katherine M. Douglas. It is a lovely book. It is also a very informative book--so much there on process, thinking, and the requirements of each type of art/illustration.
