The Art of Dragon contains:
Three decades of fantastic art in 160 full-color pages
Notes and anecdotes from artists and Dragon editors
A gallery of famous Dragon covers from all eras of the magazine’s history
This is a really nice book. For an art book, it's at what I consider a standard price. 4 stars because it was missing some of the more recent art from dragon I would have expected, and only made mention of many of the interior illustrations (would it have been hard to show more than one of the comics from over the years?).
Anyway, this is a cool product, and will sit next to my tsr art books. ;)
Now... where's my art of Dungeon?
I was really disappointed in the production quality of this book. The art is great and the book uses quality materials, but it looks like it was put together by amateurs. Heck, I wouldn't have even minded a Dragon Art book done by amateurs, but not for $35. Disappointing.
This is a wonderful art book. A great collection of older and newer Dragon art. I'm a big fan of fantasy art collections like the annual Spectrum books, so I was pleased to find out that this was in the same league as those. Any fan of new and classic D&D, WotC, TSR, Paizo, and just plain fantasy games should find something to like here. I hope they'll do another one soon (maybe the Art of Dungeon Magazine?), because there is surely a lot more great art left over that didn't make it into this book. Fingers crossed that this one does well enough to warrant more volumes!
