Reviews
I'm an avid collector of art books and this book is a great addition to my collection. It is clear that a lot of time and effort went into designing this book. The book is laid out into two parts: the alliance and the horde, each using approximately 50% of the book. Flip the book around to start reading about whichever side you like. The pages are thick and glossy and the artwork pulls you right back into the movie. There are biographies for each of the characters and chapters on landscapes, art, and weapon design and more. There is a very even mix of artwork and text, which is nice to see considering some art books favor one over the other. Overall, I'm incredibly impressed with the quality of this art book and highly recommend it to fans of not only the movie, but also of the game as well!
