The Art Of Bone is a solid coffee table book. It's definitely
geared toward fans of Bone and Jeff Smith. I'm coming straight
at this book as a huge fan of both, so I was expecting a lot
from this book. It's a great book as I said, but it does feel
somewhat light though. I was expecting more than what we get in
the book. Not a whole lot of text other than stating what page
is from what book, etc...Also, it felt kind of scatter shot.
There wasn't a flow to it like that of The Art Of Todd McFarlane
or Jim Lee's Icon books. This is definitely a book that you
should check out from the Library. I say this, already owning my
own copy.

I remember leafing through this, perhaps at SDCC a couple years
ago, thinking it felt rather light on the special features and
unseen elements. I mean, the whole of Bone is art, so I was
expecting a lot of "Thorn" strips, concept art, early sketches
and so on. The stuff we didn't see, not just reiterating what
we already did.

Exactly. I wanted to see stuff that was maybe printed once in an
obscure comic or magazine. From the top of my head, there were
maybe 3-4 out of the entire book. Sigh. I was expecting like 50
or more. Grr!
