If you like fantasy art you HAVE to find this book!

I was bought this book probably back in 1984/5 by my father, when fantasy art was in it's heyday. It might not be the newest of titles but artwork like this just does not age. It's a very glossy book that does contain mostly pictures with a little narration. Rodney Matthews covers all aspects of fantasy art from breathtaking landscapes, creatures, warriors, apocolypse worlds and one or two amazing full on battle scenes. Over the years I've tried to recreate his pictures over and over. Any serious fantasy fan should have this on their bookshelf. If you can get it then do yourself a favour and GET IT!
