Throughout all of that time, virtually all of our most ambitious and creatively successful projects -- and many of our best selling -- began in Charlie's fertile imagination. I saw an endless parade of veteran and newly discovered creators shower him with praise, respect, appreciation and trust, all well-earned. It wasn't because he let them run amok but because he challenged them and guided them and ultimately enabled them to produce their best work. His attention to detail is absolute, tracked in tiny handwriting on little scraps of paper with the pen that's eternally stuck in his shirt. Charlie, I miss being able to walk into your office to see what new piece came in, what writer or artist you discovered, what new idea had you excited. I'm proud of having been able to help you realize the vision of your creators so many times, and I'm having a ball watching you hit new levels at Abrams. Congratulations! See you in San Diego.

Abrams is one of the great art book publishers, and Abrams Image takes that expertise and applies it to subjects outside "Fine Art". Even a title like "Love Is..." was designed in an attractive edition which sold nicely. Congratulations, Charlie!
