Summary: Great item for any serious BatFan
Review: An anthology book depicting more than 300 covers of Detective Comics issues. A great item and the size of the book is just perfect ! Having the opportunity to lay my eyes on all those covers was just an overwhelming feeling especially when you are a serious Bat-collector as I am...

Summary: very interesting...very tiny.
Review: I am a moderately new Batman memorabilia collector so I could not pass up the chance to not only view but own copies of the Batman covers for the first 25 years. This tome does deliver as far as that is concerned. One thing I did fail to notice (I blame myself for this) is the size of the book: 4 inches x 4.5 inches! Tiny folio means just that. The art is still colorful. It is easy to read all of the print. It also includes all of the Detective covers prior to the introduction of Batman (which was really cool). The covers run all the way to 1963 so this publication allows the "reader" the opportunity to appreciate the transition of Batman during his early years. There is a nice, informative intro by Joe Desris. All in all it is a very interesting collectors item. To bad it is so damn TINY!

Summary: This book shows covers from Detective 1 through 300.
Review: This is a great addition to the collection of any Batman fan. This book provides large, clear images of the first 300 covers of Detective comics, many of which are copies from the famous Mile High collection. It is also great to be able to see those covers at a glance, without having to pull those comics out of my collection. I would like to thank Joe Desris for putting this book together, so that people can appreciate those truly beautiful covers.

Summary: What is inside the book.
Review: This is a great book for beginning Batman fans. I am an obsessed Batman fan. This is the very actual book that got me to really like Batman. Just by looking at the covers you can actually learn a lot about Batman and his fantastic adventures. So if you want to find out about the "earlier" Batman, check this book out!

Summary: A COLORFUL CAMPY CATALOGUE
Review: Whether you're a collector of miniature books or not, this 4" by 4" palm-size volume is both unique and fun. It's well constructed and offers a wealth of pictorial pleasures that can be appreciated again and again. Batman, Robin, Batgirl, the Joker, the Riddler, and a roguish cast of characters leap across the 300 Batman covers held in this colorful campy catalogue. First appearing in Detective Comics in 1939, Batman has been a comic hero for well over half a century. In this volume the second 25 years of covers are documentation of the changes that have taken place as the notorious caped figure captured the imaginations of television viewers and moviegoers with his relentless war on crime.
