On top of excellent instruction, there are some really incredible photos in this book. It would easily serve as an undersized coffee table book, you know, the kind of book you get lost in. Edizioni Corraini's Bruno Munari Workshop series focuses on a variety of creative tasks and skills that inspire the active involvement of adults and children alike--flower arranging, in this case. In A Flower with Love, the beloved Italian artist and designer lets us in on the secret: "...what really matters is the love with which a little daisy, a lavender sprig or some moss are chosen, that one there in particular and not that other one." With full-color images of Munari's whimsical and inventive creations in each spread, we learn that flower arranging is not an obscure art but a natural gesture requiring more care and imagination than money. Munari's examples are not to be copied slavishly; they represent examples to aid the reader in uncovering their own natural aesthetic sensibilities.
