A book review - "An Artist Drew God & Saw That It Was Good," By Henry Allen, Washington Post Staff Writer, Sunday, October 18, 2009.
And an interview (you need to click through to the slide show) - "Sketching His Way Through Genesis," By ALLEN SALKIN, New York Times October 18, 2009.
Any readers bought this yet? I did not, under the assumption I was in no hurry to read it and it would be remaindered in a year. Did I err?

I'm not a religious person, but I bought this the day it was released and am about halfway through it (thanks to being in bed with the flu). It's truly remarkable! I do catch myself turning each page and expecting to see Mr. Natural.
Genesis is not an easy book to read, and even being profusely illustrated it is still not easy (although I could skip the words to speed the process up). it's hard to know what would be remaindered quickly,
I would more likely think it would sell out the first printing (if not extremely overprinted) - and if it went into a second printing, then remaindered in about 5 years. I would suspect if a second printing or moderate overprinting, then used copies (bought by the curious) would make the marketplace lower - in say 6-7 years.
I went ahead and ordered it on Amazon when I was buying some other books and noticed that it was almost 1/2 price. It hasn't arrived yet though.
