I haven't seen the inside of the book, beyond what Amazon has seen fit to show me, but it looks like it includes sketches as well. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Fables-Covers-James-Jean-Vol/dp/1401215769" rel="nofollow"></a> Just thought I’d point out that his collection of covers for Fables is now available in hardcover.

It means you're rubbish at drawing and you admit it. I'm one of those people that can't draw for Toffee. I get no Toffee. I get minus Toffee. I owe the world Toffee every time I even think about making a mark on paper. This bloke gets all world output of Toffee for the last 10 years and that's just for his sketch books.
