Damn--another book now I have to buy! (just ordered from Amazon).
I do agree that Art and Fear is a wonderful book, and even good for
rereading over and over. Few books are like that. I assigned it to my
experimental class last semester as a "must read" but not required and only
one student read it, and she, too, loved it and talked it up big, but no go.
When I myself took experimental photography at MSU it was required reading
and there were only about 4 out of 28 that read it. You can lead a horse
to water but you cannot make him drink.
Hopefully this one will be as fruitful.
