Este libro es altamente recomendable. Gracias a él he descubierto a muchos ilustradores que hasta ahora no conocía. Además tiene muchísimas páginas completas de ilustraciones a todo color y en cantidad de estilos. El libro contiene muchas ideas para ilustradores y para gente a la que le gusta el mundo de la ilustración. La relación calidad-precio es fantástica *(^_^)*

I’m actually thumbing through at the time of this writing. It seems like 50 percent of the illustrations are not so great. There are too many pictures here that I would not have included at all. Then there are several quarter pages that are blank. This book is inflated.
There’s also some very good stuff here. If the good stuff were by itself the book would be about 1/4 to 1/3 its current size.
I like Illusive and the Art of Modern Rock much better.
3 1/2 stars.

Full of fascinating illustrations, this book is a joy to browse through. It contains a seemingly endless variety of styles. The book is divided by subject, for example, people, architecture, concepts, etc. Each section contains a short introduction and next to each illustration is the title, artist’s name and other relevant info. I browse this book over and over!
