I own an Odd Nerdrum book and I'm a big admirer as well.
Joan, I'm a bit of a book freak - I've got books by Vincent Desiderio, Steve Assael, Yuqi Wang and Claudio Bravo (to name a few off the top of my head) - if you go to
the SOG bookstore you can search on Amazon and Ebay for them if you like their work. I'm also a big fan of an artist named Istfan Sandorfi, let me know if you get a hold of his book, it's one that I'm missing.
