Too expensive but very interesting and so is the size if some prowler breaks into the Whiskey Media Office you have a nice blunt object to defend yourselves.

got it, and true it's really really heavy! the postman was dying delivering it to the 2nd floor, the book is a masterpiece, and the DC comics year by year visual chronicle is one of a kind too !

The book is practically big enough to be a coffee table in and of itself.

I love that stuff like that exists, but short of winning the lottery I would never buy it. Plus it's, DC. Now if they made a Marvel one I may think about it more so, but even then I'm just not a huge fan of a lot of the older history of comics.

I've read it in my local book store when shopping its pretty impressive but I have to nitpick about this because its could have been easily avoided. On the second (or was it page 4?) Golden age page of Batman they claimed the creepy bat-like theme was a popular in the old days using Spring Heeled Jack The Terror of London as example. Nothing wrong with that. Just that it said. something like: ''Jack the Ripper scares grave robbers in the guise Spring Heeled Jack'' (yeah it was like a week ago, kinda forgot how it was actually written down) Which is something that gets me nitpicking because this could have been easily avoided by 1 minute of google. 
 
I have read The Terror of London and I own the reprint of this reprint. It hasn't even mentioned the Iipper. Its a typical (though way to light hearted) Highwaymen Penny Dreadful, with the twist that the Highwaymen is basically a fortunes man of middle wage playing Robin Hood on his much richer corrupt cousin and some other bad folk. Also they neglected to add that its a reprint yes, But seeing how the current art is show to only be in the 1904 version its not that big of deal with me compared to the other mistake
 
Aside from that I'd love to have this book and I'm saving for it right now (Its not easy for me to get 150 Euro's) also how they separate the different era's is just awesome ^^

I have this book and I have to say that it is absolutely amazing. It was worth every penny paid. It's great for DC Comics geeks like me. Seriously, I don't think I've found anything as in-depth, both visually and written, covering any comic book company as this thing. I'm a huge DC fan so this has been an absolute joy to read.

You lost your job because Borders is a failing business model in a changing market, with a struggling economy....that being said I will defend myself saying that I am NOT the guy goes and read all the magazines and books and never buys anything, I do not buy any books, but my wife spends way to much on books every week and I buy my share of comics from local comic book stores.I was just stating that I would like to look at the book, not sit and read the whole thing, but I do not see myself spending that much money on a book, regardless of how cool it is!

I think I actually had a geek-gasm just watching those pages turn, that is one awesome looking book.  It is definitely on my wish list for my next Christmas/birthday/anniversary present......although I don't think my wife would appreciate that last one, XD

I saw this giant book in sotres here, in Geneva Switzerland! Quite unusual since you don't usually find US comics in them (but in specialized comic book stores) °___°

 I want this book, but too much money.  I saw it at my local store and it is HUGE!
The big expensive book I want to get is the big Madman Atomica book, I'd rather get that expensive thing

I actually own the 1995 edition and nothing much as changed. I prefer my $75 dollar novelty than this $200! Wow!
