If you've long wanted a copy of the Codex Seraphinianus but were scared of the high prices, this is the edition for you. This edition certainly holds a central spot in my cabinet of curiosities. I do not know what I expect for $75 and maybe I'm just being unfair. I know the ladybugs are a well-known image from the very large body of work, but it just doesn't sit right with me. It is of fine quality but not really as nice as I'd hoped. I'm a bit frustrated with the cover ( pictured at the top), to be honest. I've spent more hours working out the numbering system and trying to understand the created code Serafini wrote the entire book in, than I have appreciating the fantastic artwork. Our prior posts share the story of Serafini and how he created, or transcribed, this incredibly alien but all too human text. The experience of 'reading' over the Codex is a tactile one as well as visual and very, very cerebral. The paper has a wonderful texture, is a solid weight and really displays the colors well. It looked far better to me than the files I've seen on the internet, the color of the inks are beautiful. The detail was really quite surprising to me. Scribd is the world's largest social reading and publishing site. There is no question that every page of this book is an incredible work of art and this printing does it justice.
