Did not disappoint... and I had high expectations. If you're interested, get if from your library (or request the purchase). (Do not try to read as an ebook.) I even read the essays, which in this kind of book I often do not.

The only improvements would be *more* - more illustrations from these books, and more books included. Maybe a companion book, "The Art of Klickitat Street" or something, should be next. ;)

I grew up mostly on the Louis Darling illustrations so it was a little jarring to see reissues published over the decades with OTHER illustrators' work. But after reading this book and exploring the illustrations in comparative side-by-side, I realized the importance of keeping the books relevant for later generations and it was fascinating to study the illustrators' different styles and interpretations. A must for fans of Beverly Cleary and Ramona, and an instructive resource for artists.
