The Autumn/Winter issue of Antiques and Fine Art Magaizine raves “the scholarship and amount of information presented earns Flying the Colors a place on the bookshelf of anyone even remotely interested in the subject” and the material presented “is easily accessible to both the novice and seasoned enthusiast of maritime art.”

Art historian John Wilmerding writes “not since the first major publication on this subject over three decades ago… have we seen such a magisterial visual survey of the field.”

“A salt breeze lifts these pages,” writes Laura Beach for Antiques and the Arts Online.

“This book is one great leap to a fuller appreciation of American marine art,” writes A.J. Peluso, Jr.  in Maine Antique Digest.
