Welp, I sure did learn a lot about fans. As a catalogue, the main job of this volume is to list images of fans with descriptions to them and it very well does the job, so a high raiting is warranted, imo. Thought there are sections for a different types of fans, the catalogue is based on the ROM's fan collection, as I understand, so there's no particular pattern upon which the included fans are selected. Keep that in mind if you choose this one to read up on your fan knowledge.
