The Book. The Ultimate Guide to Rebuilding a Civilization - Inspirational Science Books for Adults - Unique Artifact - Knowledge Encyclopedia with Over 400 Pages of Detailed & Catchy Illustrations Hardcover – Picture Book, 1 Jan. 2022

This item has been on my wish list for months, but I could never quite justify the cost. However, thanks to generous relatives and a recent birthday, I've now got my copy and its everything I'd hoped for. I've not sat down for an in-depth read, so please bear in mind that this review is based on first impressions and initial leaf through.First off, The Book is gorgeous. It looks and feels very satisfactory with a tactile cover, and 'weathered' pages adding to the impression of some ancient tome. The illustrations are intricately detailed combining accurate technical information with flamboyant flourishes that blend traditional illumination with some sly pop cultural references and easter eggs.It arrived in excellent condition with its own storage box, and a post card from the creators, which serves as a handy bookmark; as another reviewer mentioned, if I had one quibble it would be the lack of a sewn ribbon marker but I'm not going to take off a star for that. I think that this is going to be a useful reference resource for years to come, and a nice one to just dip into occasionally. This is one of those items that is not 'only' a book, but a work of art, and its creators and contributors should be proud of what they have made.

It's awesome. The art is great, the paper feels amazing, the content is really cool. Was one of the best gifts I've ever given.

Got this for my daughter who adores it flicks through it most nights and has all sorts and f questions in the morning

Good

Well a stunning book to be sure and a pleasure to read with the help of some mechanical lifting gear …it’s a fairly hefty tomb, the art is awesome and the textured paper adds to luxurious feel. Unfortunately, I felt compelled to knock off a star ( it should have been 5) because in my opinion if there is one book that deserves at least one ribbon page marker it’s this one …so a little disappointed that there is not at least one sown in ribbon especially for the price tag!

Great book enjoyed reading it very interesting to know what you can do with out modern convenience.

I bought this for my boyfriend. He absolutely loves it!Its very pricey though and its the first time I spent this much on a book.I just love the illustrations on it.
