The World of the Witcher: Video Game Compendium Hardcover – 21 May 2015

Simply amazing. I brought this book when I brought Witcher 3 so I could learn more about the world of the game series and thus be more clued in once I started playing the game. Upon receiving and reading the book I was amazed by how thick the book is and how in-depth the book goes into every aspect of the witcher world, from detailed sections of world politics through time, the monsters to be found in game and a general history of the world, my favorite section being the section solely dedicated to the Witcher's and Witcher schools themselves. I must say that the book is amazingly well-written, with each section written from the point of view of individual characters in the game series, all this is accompanied by some of the most beautiful game art and design I've ever anywhere, period. Overall for anyone who has read the books and played the games or wants to start like I did, this book is a must have and I couldn't recommend it anymore.

Excellent, well made, glossy pages, in depth guide to the witcher world.Possible gripes to consider:-> The actual binding is exposed on some of the pages (i.e. the little white string going up the middle of the spine). Not a problem for me, but it should encourage caution when turning the pages.-> The writing is usually good quality - it takes the form of characters writing the material, e.g. Dandelion narrates, Geralt does a section on the beasts, etc. It can, however, be a little forced sometimes, opting for the verbose, sometimes needlessly. Plus, there are some OBVIOUS moments of social commentary here + there, which isn't a problem, but it did make me roll my eyes once or twice.APART FROM THAT - this is a BRILLIANT piece of Witcher merchandise. Do note that from page 145 onwards you get into major spoiler territory for ALL the games (Witcher 3 included), so tread carefully. But rarely do you get such sweet fan service as this.

This is a great addition to the collection for Witcher fans. The drawings and images are brilliant, with great details. The glossy finish to the pages adds to the quality of the book.

Love the Witcher 3, Love the lore, Love CDPR, Unsure of author's personality

This is not exactly an art book of the witcher 3 game. It's more an art and information book of the witcher universe which is super interesting and beautiful. The art is great, the information is superb. Even if you've read the books and played all the games, you just cant go wrong with this book.

This book is Beautiful. Anybody a fan of the game should buy this book.

A well-produced book that opens up the world of Witcher. The only downside is that there's no index at the back, which can make finding details about certain characters or creatures a pain.

Think this is the best book bar the actual books that is the best buy for any Witcher game fan, gives you so much info and lore regarding the Witcher world it is well worth the money
