I think I was lucky in the timing -- I learned to knit just when your book first came out. The other books on the subject seemed to be aimed at people who already knit. . . . and it] is the only one I read for pleasure, not just for patterns. -- Gordon Reid, www.ganseys.comFor years knitters have been pining for the return of Michael Pearson's lovely book, Traditional Knitting, complete with historical notes, charts, photos and patterns for Fair Isle, Guernsey, and Aran sweaters. Once again, our wish is granted by dear Dover. -- Meg Swansen, Schoolhouse Press
A fascinating and well researched book. -- Evening Press
After visiting the remote fishing villages of Scotland and England, Michael Pearson compiled this extensive record of unique patterns. His sources include oral traditions, documents, family albums, and photos. Pearson combines a social history of the villages and the living history of these crafts with detailed patterns and practical instructions for knitters. For this revised and expanded edition, the author has added an extensive selection of new pattern charts and full knitting instructions, making this essential work even more valuable to lovers of traditional knitting.
Great collection of patterns. So much history. I learned so many interesting things. The pictures were amazing and definitely my favorite part. A history and knitting lesson wrapped up in one book. -- Debbie's Bookcase

Vivid Detailed Book
Format: Hardcover
I bought this book for my husband whose a big Assassin's Creed fan. The pages are filled with vivid images. Yes, there are spoilers in the book. It walks the reader through every aspect of the games: timelines, gear and weapons, characters, and etc. This book makes a great gift!

At least it's beautiful!
Format: Hardcover
Firstly, this book is beautiful to look at. The pages are heavy and glossy, and the artwork is all wonderful. Lots of things from the now defunct Initiates made it into the book, as well as the "conclusion" of the Desmond thread of the Modern Day plot from the comics. It's nice to lay on the coffee table for gamer friends to stare at for a few minutes.
The major problem is the factual errors and editing issues. They're not obvious on first glance, but when you look a second or third time things truly stand out. Things like calling Chrétien Lafrenière one of Germain's allies on [Germain's] his profile page. I won't put all the errors I've found in my review for brevity, but for an item aimed at fans, it's disappointing to find so many of them. And these aren't small/minor details that are wrong. They're major plot points and important details of main story missions.
I'm still a fan of the series and I'm happy to have the book for the art, but I would never suggest it for the content. The fan-run wiki (which is mentioned in the thanks section) is far more accurate and complete.

Beautiful book and artwork
Format: Hardcover
The book comes within a slip case so it remains undamaged, and the open spine makes it really comfortable to hold and look through. There is a lot of gorgeous artwork of characters' different armor and dye variations, and the landscape works are very moody and atmospheric. There's also a lot of storyboarding, menu mockups, and promo pieces. There is a little too much white space around the images, but at least it keeps the format consistent.

Beautiful Book with Surprising Extra Details
Format: Hardcover
If you, or someone you know, is a fan of this game there will be no disappointment in this purchase.
I bought 3 different 'Game Art' books for 3 of my nephews this Christmas and this one far surpassed the others in detail and overall unboxing experience. The extra sleeve of the book along with the Japanese style spine binding are just some of the details that set this one apart. You can tell that a lot of the creative passion from the game was translated to this book's aesthetic. This is brand awareness done right!
Note: The other 2 books were for 'Apex Legends & Last of Us 2' and they were great as well, but this one stood out and they were essentially all the same price.
