Beautiful piece of art in on itself

This book is so beautifully done, I would consider it a piece of art itself. It's a smaller format, so it fits nicely into any bookcase. I love the style of illustration and the pages looking like old paper. Great advice on creating fantastical creatures and characters, easily comprehensible. 5 stars.
