This is a book so full of talent and splendor that it would be hard not to appreciate it.

Learning about the most influential SFF artists has been thoroughly engaging; seeing such fascinating people from all over the world creating art so full of passion and life... I have found it inspiring, even as a non-artist myself.

The art itself, of which there is a lot, is wonderfully presented in full colour on high quality paper.
Each chapter is also written in English, French and German, so there is less time spent reading and more time given to you for oogling at the awesome art.

This really is a brilliant piece of non-fiction and art history. Highly recommended.
