Beschreibung

Enormous 10 1/4" x 13 1/4", 768-page, 11-pound cloth hardcover (illustrated boards) in illustrated dustjacket. A monumental work devoted to art depicting life in the future. Printed on quality paperstock, the color and detail of large-format art reproductions is simply amazing. This is a Very Good or better copy that has been bumped at a few corners and the spine ends (an 11-pound book is difficult to not bump); bumping is only noticeable with the jacket off. Otherwise a like new book. Jacket looks nice (see photo enlarged) with just minor wear at the paper edges. "Since the beginning of his existence, man has used imagination to create magical worlds that would transport him beyond the borders of reality. Art of Imagination is a trilogy consisting of the award winning Illustrated History series: Science Fiction of the 20th Century (Year 2000 Hugo Award Winner), Horror of the 20th Century (Bram Stoker Award nominee), and Fantasy of the 20th Century creating the ultimate collection. It was in the twentieth century that book, magazine, and poster artists reached new pinnacles of creativity in depicting the unknown. This collection of works by artists and designers of movie posters, books, and magazines provides a hearty feast for the eyes of the enchanted reader." - publisher. VOTED THE BEST COFFEE TABLE BOOK OF 2002 (Publishers Marketing Association).
