Review:World of WarCraft is a nearly 25 year old franchise that was originally created to be an extension of the WarHammer universe. When GamesWorkshop decided that they wanted to go another direction, Blizzard said 'Okay, sure, we will make our own game franchise'. The rest, as they say, is history.
Which is why they need these books. Lets be honest. Things have changed in 25 years. Things that the development team wrote way back then probably seemed super cool and awesome to include. But... Read more

Review:This was purchased for my high school Senior son as part of his IB curriculum reading requirement. The book arrived as promised in the advertised condition. My son actually has been quoting the book after reading it. Read more
Review:Purchased for a young relative who is a avid Star Wars fan-- while he admitted he can't read it easily quite yet, he's really excited about the "handwritten" additions to the book by famous Jedi and Sith characters. It's a very well-made set and seems like the sort of thing that can be read over and over again without being dull. I also think the fact that his uncle and father almost immediately took possession of the books and started reading them = good sign. Read more
Review:I didn't even know coloring books for adults were a thing until my boyfriend told me about it. For Christmas I bought him this coloring book and another one plus colored pencils. The other night we were coloring together, him out of his Star Wars book and me out of the other one, and I was a little envious of his Star Wars pictures so I decided to get one for myself. I know I will really enjoy this book when it comes in. Read more
Review:Typophiles will eat this book up; however beginning and even seasoned designers might have troubles with this book. For one, it's all text. Hardly any diagrams or visual examples to be had. Are you kidding me? One of my crazy design teachers once said "If a book doesn't have pictures then don't read it!". I'm beginning to believe her. It's like reading the directions for the VCR and just as dry. If you've read any of Ellen Lupton's DIY books, then "The Elements of Typographic Style" has to be th... Read more
Review:The cover of this book intrigued me on the Amazon website; fresh and graceful handling of classic pieces in monochromatic black and white, all set off by the "piano key" border down the left side and very smart-looking. Unfortunately, this is the highlight of the book and from here the author's work tends to be variations on the same theme, which is quickly tiresome. Her prose is personable and pleasant, if cheeky, but that's not enough to justify the purchase price. It caused me to do someth... Read more

Review:Was hoping for a lovely coffee table book with large images of book covers.
Instead it is a poorly written book about books. As an artist, I was looking to this book for inspiration, however the best images are shrunken down to 1 or 2 inches tall, and the few large images are of perhaps the worst covers they had access to. wanna read a book about books? Maybe this will do. Hoping to enjoy the actual artwork of the books this book is about? Keep searching elsewhere, this is not your final stop... Read more
Review:A fantastic peek behind the curtain of production on one of my all-time favorite cartoons. Seeing the hidden roots of my favorite characters and the sheer amount of effort put into A:TLA is a real treat. The love the creators and crew have for this series is on full display and their enthusiasm jumps off the page. A must-have for any fan of animation. Read more
