Got my copy today and I quite like it. Now I haven't read it yet and at a glance I wish that there was more reading in it, but I like the way that the art is blown up. It's obvious that this isn't...

Finally got my copy.Read through it. Loved It.What sold the book for me (since I still had the option to put it back) was the double-page spreads (sometimes four-page spreads with the gatefolds),...

Well one can sniff the glue but that's perhaps not much of a consolation. Most of the pages are just fine as they're done a panel to a page.I paid $25 for my copy and I'm more pleased than...
