Christopher Golden and Stephen R. Bissette - Prince of Stories: The Many Worlds of Neil Gaiman
An exhaustive look at the work of author Neil Gaiman
by stus3
Pros: It's completist, exhaustive and detailed.
Cons: It's neither fish (academic study) nor fowl (fannish completism).  Who is the audience?
This is one heck of a peculiar, albeit unique book.  At over 500 pages, it's a surprise, given that it's a study of a living author.  We usually see tomes like this only after someone's decided to write a dissertation, don't we?  But Neil ...

Pros: An inspiring and informative book.
Cons: Limited to mostly sophiticated, elegant designs.
Honestly, I wasn't sure about a book focusing on interior design written by a woman named "Bunny." I figured it'd be either too cutesy and superficial or too snobby. Come to find out it's neither.How's this quote for not being too ...
