Josh Kirby A Cosmic Cornucopia

Summary: A cropped cornucopia
Review: After the marvellous "Garden of Unearthly Delights" and "Discworld Portfolio" I was eagerly awaiting this new Kirby artbook.

I was badly disappointed.

The images selection is good, but the way they are reproduced is frustrating : the images are too small. How can you admire Kirby's masterfully detailled paintings when they are only half a page or even one-fourth a page in size?

Only buy this one if you desperately need anything sporting the name "Josh Kirby". Otherwise, better put your hands on "In the garden of unearthly delights". I hope Paper Tiger will start publishing better books. Their latest ones where quite disappointing, and this one hit the bottom of the pit.

Review: I think the Discworld would not be the same without Josh Kirby. If you want inspiration for writing a story, buy this book. Josh is absolutely incredible, and his eye for detail always makes me feel part of a secret. Study each picture, or else you miss the point.
