Sheperd Paine - new book

Sheperd Paine: The Life and Work of a Master Modeler and Military Historian is the first book to examine all of this remarkable artist’s modeling work in the same pages, cataloging it via more than five hundred beautiful color photographs, and charting the life experiences that informed it in a conversational format inspired by another book about a great artist and storyteller, Hitchcock/Truffaut, François Truffaut’s portrait in interview form of director Alfred Hitchcock.

Features in this new book include:

Many photographs never before published

Modelers and collectors talking about Shep's work

The "inside story" of how many of these dioramas came about

Plans and drawings used in their construction

Published in large format hardcover by Schiffer Publishing.

READERS' COMMENTS ABOUT THE BOOK

"What a fantastic tribute, and a great compilation of photos,
many of which I hadn't even seen.
This will be a book that will keep me occupied for a long time."

"It seems every page I turn to has something to read of interest
or something to look at and linger over.
The whole presentation, the cover, the layout, the quality of paper is first class."

"...a really great book and I mean that sincerely. Jim uses a nice writing style
where the reader feels almost like he's part of the conversation."

"This is a great read, very interesting and the interview method of delivery
appealed to me more than I thought it would . . .
Although $80 sounds expensive, in this case it's worth every penny. "

"All I can say is 'Outstanding.' I spent several hours going back and forth
through it and just loved it."

"The only complaint I have about the book is that it's so big I can't read it in the john!"
