I've not see the paperback, but the quality of the pictures in the hardcover I have is quite good. Several years ago I wanted to purchase a copy as a gift for someone whom I had observed had a nice little art library in her home but nothing Hudson River related, and I had to settle for a used copy.

Looks like a great book! Thanks. This stuff is so incredibly inspirational. Yet some people aren’t moved in the least by such things. Having very nearly completed a BS in geology years ago, I’m also deeply into the natural processes which created these amazing landscapes.
If you have such a feature available to you on your system, I suggest ‘zooming’ or enlarging these paintings to the max. It’s the next best thing to seeing the real deal at the Museum! Both Windows IE and Firefox have zoom features. For IE-7 (and perhaps the other versions?), it should be at the lower right-hand corner of the screen (see the percentage sign: % at lower right). For Firefox, hold down Ctrl, Delete and + all at the same time.
