Review: WISH IT WAS STILL IN PRINT - This book really should go back in print. As a huge James Jean fan myself, i willing bought a second hand version for a few hundred dollars. I know.. I know.. very pricey decision but i thought it was all worth it. This book is actually very small, but contains a distillation of James's earlier works. It really gives you an insight into his ideas and developments during the earlier stages of his career, and let me just say that this guy was indeed incredibly talented. His sketches and earlier works reflect a surrealism and cross culture influence that is still prevalent in his newer and more refined works today. To sum up this book " Today i continue to struggle with the shape of things, imagined and invisible, to condense the spectrum of experience into technicolor. My conviction wavers: A step forward, a step back, indeterminate future and past- there is PROCESS, and there is a RECESS" - James Jean thus the title Process Recess. Review: the paper quality is terrible. - I am a huge fan of James Jean, I was very excited about purchasing this book. When I got it, I opened it, I did know It was a small book but I was disappointed about the quality paper. the printing quality is not good enough, you barely see the shapes and the excellent imagination of James Jean but not in great quality. It's a gorgeous book but the printing quality should be the best compared with the price… ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #9,717,511 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #200,114 in Graphic Novels (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 5 Reviews | ## Images ![Process Recess Volume 1: The Art Of James Jean - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61O+5X5D5LL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ WISH IT WAS STILL IN PRINT *by D***Z on December 4, 2011* This book really should go back in print.
