This book contains the covers drawn by James Jean for Fables.
Each cover is printed, in high resolution, on semi-gloss high quality paper. The book itself if hardcover with a dust jacket. The art on the hard cover is slightly embossed with a sticker pasted at the centre.
There are 75 single issues and 11 wraparounds, a wonderful look at his creative style over the years.
Also included are the sketches James Jean did for his covers. The covers are sometimes accompanied by his thoughts or some quote from the comic.
At the end of the book is an interview conducted by Bill Willingham with James Jean. On the last two pages are photos of his work area. One of them shows the Eisner Awards he has put neatly on his shelves. Strangely, the interview and photos are printed on non glossy paper, which I think will turn yellow in the future.
This is a higly recommended book for fans of James Jean or Fables.

Format:Hardcover
This is a truly beautiful book to behold. The artwork is amazing and the the presentation is nothing short of the usual James Jean charm. My only complaint is that it does not contain every Fables cover by James. To have had a complete collection all in one place would have made it that extra little bit nicer.
Format:Hardcover
This book is a beautiful collection of the covers made by James Jean for the graphic novels Fables. It contains all the covers from Book 1 to Book 11. The book is a good buy if you're a fan of Fables, or simply if you appreciate art. James Jean's artwork is truely fantastic and such a nice addition to any bookshelf.
