as soon as this was available for pre-order, i had been waiting anxiously to see it. seeing it now, i am so happy with the contents!
the book is a quality publication, from the hardcover, to the printed endpapers, to the sturdy pages. this book could easily be dismembered (as sad as it would be) to have images framed. it is a slick tome all the way around.
the chapters are as follows:
finding columbia
elizabeth
booker dewitt
songbird
founders, citizens, & vox populi
heavy hitters
advertisements & propaganda
vigors
sky-hook
weapons & airships
columbia
i was thoroughly impressed with each chapter, but my favorites were finding columbia, advertisements & propaganda, vigors, and columbia. the concept art for the environments is AMAZING. beautiful, colorful, full-page images that are fine art in their own right. there are three full-page advertisements for vigors (shock jockey, devil's kiss, and possession) which are more than suitable for framing (which i very well might). the concept art for the vigors, showing their progression from start to finished product, is just unreal. there are so many talented folks at irrational.
some of what i enjoyed most was what DIDN'T make it into the game. it must be a shame to have created such beautiful things, only to have them left out of the finished product. it makes me appreciate this book even more, as it is a love letter to all those gems we otherwise would never have gotten to see.
my ONLY disappointment was that all the advertisements for the vigors weren't present. i would have loved to see bucking bronco and the rest of them.
