This is a book about art and luck. It is thoughtfully laid out and contains beautiful reproductive prints and images. It is, consequently, a very easy read. The comments on each work are concise and engaging, giving just enough information both about the work and its loss. Naturally, some of the stories are depressing and I would have preferred if the works had not been categorized according to method of loss - giving more randomness to proceedings, but overall it's a valuable read.
