    I recently purchased Spectrum 9, 10, and 11. These books are absolutely wonderful, and I would recommend them to any artist or fan of fantasy/sci fi art. They are extremely well put together, of high quality (reproduction wise), have a large number and variety of artists, and contain some of the most beautiful works of art I have seen. Some of the subject matter can be disturbing or somewhat sexual in nature (certainly nothing explicit, but not exactly innocent either), so I wouldn't recomend them for the very young (12 or under?) if you are a parent. These books are worth every penny and highly recommended.

    All of the Spectrum books are great, #10 included. The printing quality is excellent and the art is always stunning. I have two complaints about the Spectrum series in general. Many of the pictures are printed too small. I would prefer the pictures printed full page and would settle for less art instead. The other complaint - and this is minor, is that many of the same artists appear year after year. Makes me wonder if the judges are too partial.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Spectrum of contemporary figurative fantastic art
    Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2008
    Verified Purchase
    The Spectrum series is a collection of contemporary and fantastic art illustrations. I recommend it to anyone looking for discovering interesting work and contemporary artists. The work ranges from cover illustrations, paintings, sculptures to some toys, action figures and graphic novel work. The selection is usually very well done. I think the sculpture section is not as good as the graphic and painting area.

    It is interesting to notice in the volume 10 the diversity of techniques presented. There are some pure digital art, but most of it is made of traditional media, or a mix with digital tools and some other technique. I imagine that the next volumes will gradually include some more digital art. From this series I ended up finding some artists I looked for entire work monographs like the sci-fi ilustrator Stephan Martinieri.
