Just Outstanding
Not just the content of the book itself. I expected that to be phenomenal,being a long time Harryhausen fan, and it is. Others have critiqued some of the pictures were postage stamp size. They're really not. Smal,l but not that small. I highly recommend it.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
