Here is what a few of today's top professionals have to say about Franklin Booth.

"Finally someone has published a book on Franklin Booth, perhaps the greatest pen and ink artist of the twentieth century. Booth's elegant rendering is combined in an astonishing display of virtuosity, design and lofty grandeur. The results are best described as sheer visual poetry."

Gary Gianni, Illustrator

"Franklin Booth is unique. With a simple ink line, he can paint illusions of epic grandeur and delicate atmosphere. He can do more with a pen than a thousand painters can do with a brush. Franklin Booth is, in every sense of the word, a master artist. Very few will achieve what he has accomplished, but none will surpass him. Franklin Booth is a genius."

Frank Cho, Liberty Meadow
