I just received James Jean's new postcard book XOXO today. This book is beautiful; from the moment you see the crisply detailed cover, you know this is a quality product and also a piece of art. The postcards are like mini prints on thick card stock, with rounded corners. The art chosen ranges from sketches to paintings to illustrations. Everything is wonderfully designed. Do yourself a favor and buy it!

James Jean's art is very detailed and lovely. Jam packed into a little postcard book, I did not want to take out the postcards or give them to anyone.

Im addicted to anything by James Jean. His drawings/painting are amazing and this little book has a glimpse of his best work in postcard form. You could send these to friends or loved ones or be a little creative and have the series framed.

Beautiful pieces can come in little packages. Each one of the postcards found in this book a wonderful to look at and could be pulled out and framed if the fancy strikes you. James Jean's style is amazing to look at and catches the eye with the subjects and the coloring. I would highly suggest this as a gift for anyone who likes graphic/comic style works or even just someone looking for a new artist to adore. I would maybe give it a pg-13 rating on the safe side for some of the images. A great piece to be added to any collection, especially yours with such a low price.

I love James Jean's work very much. This little package of postcards is really nice as a gift, on a coffee table or in a bathroom. A must for everyone who loves his work!

I've been a fan of James Jean for a few years now. His work is amazing and this is a wonderful collection of it.

I have been following James Jean's art for the past couple of years. He blends a variety of ethereal, organic, heavenly and demonic images in such a beautifully captivating way. This postcard book would make a really nice gift to anyone who is interested in illustration/painting or art in general. The product definately defeats its purpose- in a good way.

If you like James Jean you will not be disappointed with this (so long as you know that they are post cards). Some of the artwork appears to be out of his sketchbooks, while others are completed paintings. I like that sort of variety since it helps to give some insight into his process and preliminary work.

Anyway, the packaging is very neat, the prints are very good quality, and the paper is very thick. I dont think that I will be sending these out, but this is a nice small book to add to my art library for reference/inspiration.

I gave it a 5/5 because it's exactly what was described: a booklet of *Post Cards* made by James Jean and nothing more. It's not meant to be a good archive of his works, or even his most impressive pieces for that matter (although still impressive in their own right).

The quality of the printing/binding for XOXO is great. Everything aligns nicely and are very precise, at least in my copy. Like everyone else, once I saw the postcards I knew that I would never have the heart to tear them out, so instead I gave the book and its entirety as a gift to a loved one (I wrote on the back of the postcards which turned it into a multi-page card).

Other than being wonderfully crafted front and back, to be honest there's not much to be said about the booklet. However, I can see this booklet collecting dust for most people if the postcards go unused, considering that there is no writing to accompany any of the postcards and that it's such a tiny archive of his work. There's not much incentive to reopen the booklet, since you can find the digital images on his website in almost equal size.

this little booklet of postcards by James Jean is absolutely fantastic. 30 illustrations that will blow your mind.
The design of the entire thing is impressive to the smallest of details...this is more than what I'd expect for the (about) $10 dollars I paid for it.

Actually, I might buy a second copy of this "book" just because it's so cool (and so cheap)....one will be for collecting, the other one will be ripped apart, and each postcard will go on my wall.

You don't need to think twice. Just buy it!
