Wow. I just finished reading this book. Unfortunately, the fancy cover didn't improve the content inside. ;) Well the beancounters must have done the math and determined that all of this (expensive) cover art increases sales. Wow.

I love to see how things are made--ever since that first one i saw--Mr. Rogers touring the Crayon factory and showing how they were made!! This one kind of tells me why hardback books are so expensive. Society's need for bigger and better graphics demand a more expensive process. Although it's a positive that graphics have become so much more sophisticated thru the years, sadly the day of the typical illustrator who draws or paints is over. Fascinating!!
