Artwork and layout:
the cover is amazing. And the inner artwork is almost totally black & white pictures. But they are all within the theme of the book and convey the feel fo it well.
My views on this book are overall extremely positive. However, there is something that must be acknowledged. This book is so well written that it may be too intimidating and complex to some DMs to consider adding the contents to their games.
