Part of me wants to give this book 2 stars. But the nice part of me wants to give it 3 stars. It is a great book filled with wonderful pieces. I just did not like as many of the works as I thought I would. Luis Royo is my favorite artist featured.
Carly Johnson
Absolutely incredible compilation of fantasy artists! Produced yearly (every November).
Laura
