I like the humor in Enrico’s biographical stories. I recall reading his sketch crawl episodes online and have been looking forward to the Venice Chronicles since he announced. Luckily, I managed to order the version with a watercolor book plate 🙂

I am still waiting for my book to arrive and good to know it is looking nice.
