They are talking about it...
"This art book is particularly well crafted, with its hardcover and beautifully executed gold embossing. The edges of the pages are also gold-gilt.
This finish gives the book a very high-quality look and feel.
The book has nearly 256 pages with high-quality glossy paper and impeccable print quality.
[...] What strikes you most are Mayer's colors. Vivid and saturated, they often contrast with a heavy and dark atmosphere. The work on geometric shapes and the care taken with dynamic compositions are also impressive.
[...] A sublime art book with meticulous finishing touches and a beautiful gift for any fan of dark fantasy, 'Magic: The Gathering', and Dominik Mayer's luminous style."
"A superb art book that immerses us in the dark fantasy I love. Geometric shapes are often found in the illustrations, with a style and composition that I particularly appreciate. Some pages are accompanied by explanatory texts by the author, who explains his choices and research, making the whole thing even more interesting. The edition is splendid, with gold foil on the cover and gold marbling, making it as beautiful to leaf through as it is to display. A wonderful discovery of this artist and his universe!"
"I don't have many art books in my library, but when I see this one, I think to myself that this is clearly a mistake. First of all, it's impossible not to mention the incredible editing work: high-quality gold edging, a hardcover with impeccable gilding, high-end paper... [...]
Suffice to say that turning the pages is a feast for the eyes, with vibrant, dynamic illustrations and colors that stand out and explode in contrast with the darkness. Each image takes us to the gates of our imagination, evoking legendary stories, epic battles, perilous quests... all in a dark and rich heroic fantasy universe that will appeal to fans of the genre. [...]
A real gem that I will regularly enjoy leafing through."
