HR Giger. 40th Ed.

El libro ha llegado perfectamente precintado, un detalle que valoro mucho para asegurar que está intacto y nuevo. Nada más tenerlo en las manos, se nota que es un libro de gran calidad, con unos acabados excelentes propios de esta edición. Es una compra obligada para cualquier amante del arte de H.R. Giger. Por la calidad y el tipo de edición, estoy convencido de que muy probablemente acabará siendo una pieza de coleccionista en el futuro. ¡Totalmente recomendado!

Très bel ouvrage petit format

I’m not sure how Taschen - the publisher of this book - is getting away with selling this for $25. This is easily a $50 book. There are 500 pages chronicling Giger’s work from the ‘60s when he favored India ink, to the ‘70s and ‘80s when he switched to airbrushed acrylic paints. Not all of his work can be found here, but there’s a wide variety that serves as the perfect tour of his history. Almost all of his art is sexually explicit or grotesque, and I’m glad his untampered work continues to be preserved several decades later. This is not an oversized book like his Necronomicon series, and does not serve as a replacement for his older published works. The pages here are smaller, leading to many pieces being spread across two pages. Coupled with the thickness of the book, this makes viewing complete pieces rather difficult, even with spreading the pages as flat as possible. This is also a multi-language book. There’s a biography by an Austrian art curator that’s written in English, German, and French, which leads to the unfortunate side effect of having several wasted pages of the same text repeated across three different languages. Despite these issues, the layout of the book is exceptional. The art is presented in chronological order, each piece labeled with a caption detailing the medium used, the surface painted on, and the dimensions of the piece. For a Giger fan, this purchase is a no-brainer. The smaller size makes it a perfect fit on a bookshelf, and easy to carry around. If you have even a passing interest in art, do yourself a favor and buy this book.

NOT the nicest quality book for the high cost and next to nothing from the Aliens franchise. Will keep but not what i wanted. Id also say that the paper is not the highest quality, binding poor and cover way to flexible to be called "hardcover". Its worth max 10-15 euros

I'm a big fan of HR Giger, a book that I received the quality is good
