Summary: Good stuff....
Review: A nice collection of artists, with some great examples of what they can do. But....
Paper stock is poor and some prints are a bit blurry.

Summary: Unfinished and poorly assembled
Review: Perhaps I set my expectations too high, but this so-called journal is an all-around disappointment. The premise is simple: gather up seventeen anthropomorphic cartoonists and artists, ask them to submit any work they've been doing, and regardless of content compile it into an 8x10" 100-page book. When the illustrations themselves exceed low, sketchy quality, the paper and ink this journal is printed with will regardlessly make everything seem amateurishly fashioned. Nothing about these pictures is unifying in theme or style except the presence of anthropomorphic "furries." The journal contains comics, artwork, and graphic short stories usually taking on fantasy or sci-fi themes. The comics are unerringly awful. A repetitive concept in many illustrations is the reoccurrence of autobiographical, furry depictions of the cartoonists themselves. Two artists whose work greatly exceeds the talents of other contributors are Ronald Van Bokhoven - a talented illustrator from the Netherlands - and Joseph Ny - whose computer-generated designs include literal she-wolves of the SS, as well as other Eastern European and Asiatic themes. These men alone buoy my overall opinion of the journal, but I certainly don't advise purchasing this book at full price.

Summary: The best book in the world.
Review: This book started my physical collection of furry publishings, and still remains the best singal pice I have. Not only is it perfectaly published, but contains excellent examples of anthropomorphic artwork. Its my personal bible.

Review: This is a great artbook, featuring many famous furry artists. I love the art, and look at it regularly. If you're a fan of Michele Light, I recommend it.
