I prefer to read mine lying on the couch, with the books on the ground (on a newspaper to protect). There is also a Frank King Walt & Skeezix in the same size. Sunday press have promised to make at least 8 of these books. Paul (Another Lambiek frequent visitor) You are right, these books are a dream (pun intended).

Maybe there will be a lower price after Xmas. As a young art student and apprentice signpainter, I studied every McCay panel I could find; he was a master of perspective. The Sunday comics once boasted draughtsmen instead of smart-mouthed little animals with round tummies. "Hearts." I once screwed up a review by writing "Charles Foster Hearst." This is just splendid!

Fantastic work in it's original visual presentations are sooo much more exciting.

I've bought the odd book based on the stock and the feel above the content. A few useless but gorgeous architecture annals lying around the place. As for Nemo, I've only seen the smeared, smudgy, dull repros mentioned. Be curious to see what the fuss is about. I adore large, lush books.

I'm a pretty big Nemo fan (as well as a fan of Mercer Mayer and Maurice Sendak who were both influenced by McCay's work). I recently re-read volume 1 of the Nemo collection (I think published by fantagraphics, not sure). I'm definitely going to check this out. This is wonderful.
