I have to start by saying that this is one of the best art compilation books that I have seen in print for a while. I own tons of fantasy art books and this is one of the few that is put together very well. claims that this is a paperback, but I wanted to point out that if you are ordering this, you will be receiving a hardcover book. I am in no way complaining, because hardcovers are worth a lot more.The book itself has a wonderful and appealing layout. All of the pages inside are made to look like old parchment paper with singed edges (nice touch, since it is a book of dragon art). Each page contains a profile of an artist and some questions pertaining to their dragon art. The pages following each profile is dedicated to examples of their artwork. This book tops all others, because the colors are beautifully vibrant, none of the pictures are pixelated or cropped apart. These are high quality prints and I think the book will hold up well over the years. The pages are glossy and on the thicker side, which is something I am once again thankful for. A lot of art books tend to have thin or recycled paper of some sort, which in these cases is a shame because it won't withstand wear as well over the years.Another thing this book has going for it is the fact that it appears organized and whomever did the layout obviously knew a thing or two about desktop publishing. Many fancy art books just have artwork thrown around without any sort of organization which seriously drives me bonkers most of the time.The art itself is for a wide range of tastes. I absolutely love dragon art, but within reason. I don't really like anything too cutesy, but nothing on the other end of the spectrum ie. bloodthirsty horror graphics with naked women.
