"Whether you're a student of graphics and American material
culture, or merely fascinated by the power of images and the appeal
of Christmas, this book is well worth the price of admission. In
fact, flipping through the pages is a bit like filling up on a bowl
of Christmas candy—without the calories. Highly recommended."—Judy
