COMMENTS ABOUT PARCELLES D'INFINI
"I have gone through your book, and want to congratulate you on a very nice presentation of the ways in which a tile can be shaped in order
to fill the plane in a regular division. Your limit tilings are also nice. The quality of the book is excellent."

"Alain Nicolas is a true artist. His tilings of the plane, inspired by the great works of the Dutch genius Maurits Cornelis Escher, are rich,
diverse, poetic, and surprising, sometimes miraculous. I deeply admire the subtlety of his homage to Albert Einstein, and I am floored by the
beauty of the flower that he has tenderly placed on Escher's grave."

"Your book is spectacular. I can't read French, but friends have helped me translate bits of it, and I've studied the pictures in detail. I am
impressed how far you have taken word tessellation. The two versions of INFINI have especially nice letter forms, and the ESCHER design is lovely.
You've inspired me to try doing more complex word tessellations."
