A 30-year quest ends, wonderfully

I had to wait 30 years before procuring this copy -- superbly produced, as expected. A masterpiece of unbridled imagination, written in an entirely imagined language with its own alphabet, and with fascinating illustrations, this is an encyclopedia that describes a parallel, similar, but almost recognisable universe from our own.A masterpiece that had to be reissued some day and I am immensely happy that it is once again available. Despite its price, it is an immensely valuable purchase, and no reproduction on the Net can do justice to the actual, beautifully-produced volume.

This is an extremely interesting book. It caught my attention till the end. All the illustrations ​are so creative, out-of-box kind of content. Reminds me of a parallel universe. Hats off to the Author. For his unique creativity.

Muy rápido lo que parecía imposible

Este libro era un regalo para un chico que quiere dedicarse a la ilustración. Lo habíamos buscado en librerias físicas, online y había sido imposible. Al final en Amazon vi que ponía disponible a partir del 2 de septiembre y lo pedí aún sabiendo que no llegaba para su cumpleaños. Y sorpresa, llego días antes y mi sobrino quedó encantado con él. La búsqueda mereció la pena al ver su cara. Tiene unas ilustraciones maravillosas, aunque es cierto que es muy rarito ya que está escrito en un idioma inventado.

Estoy enamorado.

Es simplemente lo que esperas: Un WTF hechi libro y no necesitas más.Según varias personas aseguran que lo que intenta el libro es emular la experiencia de un niño cuando aún no sabe leer. Cómo hojean un libro sin entender qué dicen. Ellos crean el significado a las palabras y les añaden contexto a las ilustraciones. Es simplemente mágico.El libro es una obra de arte en sí; sus ilustraciones están bastante bien logradas y el contenido, pese a que no sabes qué significa, muchas veces parece que intenta explicar cosas complejas como categorías, especificaciones científicas, cálculos, etc. Se pueden visualizar varias fórmulas matemáticas y tablas por todo el libro.La tipografía es bastante hermosa y parece tener sentido, no son letras ni palabras aleatorias, de verdad pareciere que sí tiene un significado. Por lo menos se ve mucho más trabajado que un simple Lorem Ipsum.La calidad del libro también es excelente. El material al tacto es bastante bueno, no se nota que se vaya a dañar con facilidad no que pueda envejecer pronto y además sí da todo el estilo de ser un codex antiguo.Una de las mejores compras que he hecho.

I'm not great with superlatives, so words are actually failing me

This book has been on the edge of my radar for a few years now. As with some other reviewers, it was outside of my price range for a while, but I'm so glad I finally went for it.The author-artist wanted to inspire that feeling of being a small child, 'reading' books before the words made sense, and he more than achieves this. The quality, heft and size of the book reminds me of being a very young kid, looking through those big Reader's Digest encyclopedias and compendiums, having no idea what the text read, but trying to make sense of the pictures. Within moments of opening, I think this may have become my favourite book.
