4.0 out of 5 stars Great Pixel Art Book, let down by poor Binding., June 8, 2010

I am true fan of Pixel design, in art and in concept. This book covers various designs, from the very simple to more intricate. I particular admire the 3D, isometric pictures. They must have taken the artist a long time and the attention to detail is incredible. If you like computer art or anything associated with Pixels, I'm sure you will love this book. It also includes a great music CD with some Videos of where the Pixel may have came about. Please note that there are a few adult based designs within.

The only disappointing aspect to this book, is the very poor binding. The book itself comes shrink-wrapped and it isn't until you overview the book, the cover may come away from the pages. If you do receive the book, try and replace it as soon as you can through the bookshop you purchased it from. Otherwise, rebind the book at an approximate cost of $20.

Great content. Full color throughout. very little fluff or "padded" content. Nice design and art direction. The binding, though, is really cheap. First time I looked through it, the glue cracked and pages began to fall out. I'm really careful about this type of thing and treat my books gently, so it wasn't due to abuse. Now, I'm afraid to open the book for fear of the whole thing disintegrating.
