The inclusion of this book in the Open Carolina collection is made possible by the generous funding of
"A first-rate guide A superb resource for collectors and an indispensable addition to academic American Art History reference collections."—Wisconsin Bookwatch
"Field ecologist Steiner has compiled one of the most significant private collections of Audubon prints in the US. Highly recommended."—Choice
"This is a fascinating book, and I had a hard time putting it down. It tells a lot about Audubon and those who worked with him to produce his original life-size paintings of American birds and mammals, but even more about the prints themselves as they have been reproduced in various ways over the past century and a half. I had no idea that there is so much information about Audubon's art work or that it could be presented in such an interesting fashion. This book will be of value to anyone who owns an Audubon print, and especially to anyone who looks forward to obtaining one."—Richard C. Banks, research associate, Smithsonian Institution, National Museum of Natural History, Division of Birds
"Bill Steiner's research has put into one volume a user-friendly shortcut for collectors, buyers, and sellers of Audubon art prints. How apropos it is that this volume would be published in South Carolina, where John James Audubon did some of his work."—Ann Shahid, education director, Audubon Center and Sanctuary at Francis Beidler Forest/South Carolina Headquarters for the National Audubon Society
