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

Great gift for anyone interested in engineering.

Teuer aber wirklich gut geschrieben, die Sachinhalte gut beschrieben und die Bilder detailliert. Jeden Cent wert. Achtung! Buch ist in Englisch. Darauf und auf die eigenen Englischkenntnisse Bedacht nehmen.

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.

Totally recommended.

Till och med rolig/spännande att bara bläddra igenom. Tillägget med ”vuxen-leksaker” hade jag dock inte saknat om det inte var med. 😂

Excellent book and just what I wanted. The information in the book is very fascinating. The packaging of the book is really well done. A must-have for anyone looking for a nice coffee table book.
