Richard G said Best Sparth book ever! But.. I've been a huge fan of Sparth's work for years and have awaited the arrival of this book for almost as long. Sparth's work is warm and highly creative and his influence over a generation of digital fantasy artists is only beginning to be seen as his style is frequently imitated. It's certainly a great book and a must-own, especially for a concept art book at this price.My only disappointment is is the format size. Only problem is layout Beautiful art, as expected of Sparth. But the way they are presented could have been done way better.
