this is a good book for some one looking to save money on the introduction to the surrealist art of h.r. giger, it has many previously published works from different books like biomechanics and necronomicon but it is a quarter of the size of those books, there are two versions of this book as well a small copy and the larger copy you will find with red on the cover...not all in black. it is also a stripped down version of H.R Giger .com...if i was to recommend a book out of all of the ones available i would say to fifst time buyers... get h.r. gigers biomechanics or one of the necronomicon books(or all of those), if you wont spend that much money or cant i would just get h.r. [...], but if you want this get the red copy its bigger, still the same exact book, just this one is smaller and less money....
