This is an Awesome Collection Worth Getting! Marc Never really payed attention to the "man behind the art" when it came to James Jean. BUT I had seen his work and though it was unique and compelling. Further exploration led me to the Fables graphic novel series and the collection of Jean's cover art in his Fables Covers "art of' book. At the same time I encount. Extremely good value, lots of top notch art, nice book Great book CHOC full of varied, high quality illustrations. Full bleed pages, hardcover, all-edge guilt pages (all three exterior edges of the book are coated in shiny red metallic covering). Literally any page in this book has a wonderful piece of art on it. I was surprised by the consistency and quality of the. Wonderful illustrations, terrible formatting To start, I have all of the work published by James Jean to date, except for Process Recess 2. I was greatly looking forward to this book, and foolishly ordered it on Amazon because they had it restocked before his website did, where I could have acquired a signed copy. If you would like your book signed, buy it
