Inspirational Quotes Illustrated: Art and Words to Motivate Paperback – December 17, 2014

I have always loved inspirational quote books and beautiful art. Here is a fantastic book (Inspirational Quotes Illustrated: Art and words to motivate by Lesley Riley) that has combined the two subjects into one volume. The introduction explains the “story behind this book.” All the rest of the book includes “Quotes and Art.” Each page has a quote interwoven into an art piece to provide the reader with a visual delight along with the quote. There is also a list of contributors and an index in this 144 page volume. One of the many things I like about this book is that most of the quotes are short and to the point. I guess this is the reason my favorite poems are in most cases short rather than long.If you are a Lesley Riley fan or love inspirational quotes and art, you should check out this wonderful book.Rating: 5 Stars.

The pages are perforated so you can frame them if you’d like. The art work is beautiful. Awesome quotes. I opened it up to find it signed by the author. Love it!

This is a beautiful book full of a variety of quotes within arts from many artists. I've bought 4 of these books. It makes a lovely gift.

Inspirational Quotes is a great book for someone like me who loves to sue them in art projects

Well written and very inspiring. Beautiful artwork and the pages are lovely to feel and stroke. I'm very glad I ordered this book. I am a photographer and I thought the quotes with images would be inspiring for my own plans/goals for my photographs.

Such a beauty. I bought it because it joined two things I love: art and inspirational quotes and I loved it so much. The pages are perforated so that you can tear the page off and have it framed and hang it on your wall if you like and if you don't care about the other side of the page.

I was a little disappointed in the presentation of the quotes... I feel like the page design could have been a little more interesting, or have the art itself take up more of the space with the quotes being more of a subtitle (like a print of the art would look), especially since the pages are perforated for the opportunity to hang them. I was also disappointed at the amount of digital artwork, as I thought most of the pieces would be more like mixed media art journal pages. Overall, the book is okay and is what it represents itself to be, I just wasn't overwhelmed with excitement and inspiration when I first flipped through it.

I am a quote addict, and yet this visually stunning quote book introduced me to many quotes I had yet to experience in my MANY years of collecting. Not only did the quotes resonate for me, but I found their corresponding original mixed media art pieces gorgeous and evocative. Do not hesitate...purchase this gift of wondrous words and art!

wonderful book
