A very good Art of book that provides useful information about this series. That's hard to come by, these days.

I didn’t care for the TV series (I don’t think I finished it, actually) but this art book is pretty good. I find that often to be the case with both art books and music scores: even if I don’t like the movie or TV show, the “making of” book and soundtrack can still be enjoyable.
I’d give this 4 stars except it oddly doesn’t give credit to the artists for many of the designs and art inside. Some are labeled while others aren’t. Weird. I like seeking out the artist’s work online but the lack of credit kept me from doing that several times. It also has a few too many double-page spreads. For some paintings it was no big deal but for others it interfered with the presentation. I really wish book designers would stop doing that. I’m sure it looks great on their 27-inch Mac monitor, but on anything else including the physical book, it’s a downgraded experience.

Another beautiful lush make-of book...I can't say I enjoyed the awkward coffee-table-book format, but it's always nice to look at the evolution of a concept until the final design...and the skill that goes into even the most basic of sketches.
