HR Giger: 45th Ed. (45th Edition)

Excellent,clean and fresh copy of a book I had before just that it's smaller and goes upto gigers death....

I liked this HR Giger art work book because it is all clearly presented and in full colours with readable writing on the pages of the book. It is a book of classic masterpiece HR Giger Art creations. The Aliens artworks are all original HR Giger works. A truly brilliant and intelligent collection of alien drawings and strange designs. It feels like looking through strange dreams.

Giger..a strange and wonderful artist..genious! great quality book full of quality reproductions of this outstanding artists brilliant work and an interesting invite into the world a very interesting man

My dad loves it. I didn't realise most of the book was in German, though.

The magic inside this special book is insane, Giger's Harkonnen sketches are a thrill. The book is basically a brick, same size and weight. Because of the scope of the art you wish the book was bigger simply to take it all in more but you get over it.

Amazing item. Can't fault

For all collectors of Gigers work you must purchase this book. For the price and amount of work displayed within this incredible tome the price is just a steal. Taschen always delivers on beautifully crafted and bound collections but this surpassed all my expectations. If you want to get to know more and are new to Gigers magnificent work this is a perfect starter book to purchase. It has a complete range of his work from his early years right up to those he worked on up until his untimely death in 2014....RIP. As a completest of everything that has been released regarding this wonderful artist I will honestly say this new book fits my collection perfectly. I have a feeling this book like so many of his other collections will definitely rise in price so get it now at this give away amount.

H.R. Giger's disturbing and innovative art in a very thick and well made book (in multiple languages) How they manage to sell a book of this quality so cheaply is kind of puzzling to me I'd recommend this book for over 18s only though - a lot of the biomechanical art (famous from Aliens etc) he did is grotesquely sexual (though I'd be very surprised if anyone found any of it a turnon)

El libro ha llegado perfectamente precintado, un detalle que valoro mucho para asegurar que está intacto y nuevo. Nada más tenerlo en las manos, se nota que es un libro de gran calidad, con unos acabados excelentes propios de esta edición. Es una compra obligada para cualquier amante del arte de H.R. Giger. Por la calidad y el tipo de edición, estoy convencido de que muy probablemente acabará siendo una pieza de coleccionista en el futuro. ¡Totalmente recomendado!

Très bel ouvrage petit format

I’m not sure how Taschen - the publisher of this book - is getting away with selling this for $25. This is easily a $50 book. There are 500 pages chronicling Giger’s work from the ‘60s when he favored India ink, to the ‘70s and ‘80s when he switched to airbrushed acrylic paints. Not all of his work can be found here, but there’s a wide variety that serves as the perfect tour of his history. Almost all of his art is sexually explicit or grotesque, and I’m glad his untampered work continues to be preserved several decades later. This is not an oversized book like his Necronomicon series, and does not serve as a replacement for his older published works. The pages here are smaller, leading to many pieces being spread across two pages. Coupled with the thickness of the book, this makes viewing complete pieces rather difficult, even with spreading the pages as flat as possible. This is also a multi-language book. There’s a biography by an Austrian art curator that’s written in English, German, and French, which leads to the unfortunate side effect of having several wasted pages of the same text repeated across three different languages. Despite these issues, the layout of the book is exceptional. The art is presented in chronological order, each piece labeled with a caption detailing the medium used, the surface painted on, and the dimensions of the piece. For a Giger fan, this purchase is a no-brainer. The smaller size makes it a perfect fit on a bookshelf, and easy to carry around. If you have even a passing interest in art, do yourself a favor and buy this book.

NOT the nicest quality book for the high cost and next to nothing from the Aliens franchise. Will keep but not what i wanted. Id also say that the paper is not the highest quality, binding poor and cover way to flexible to be called "hardcover". Its worth max 10-15 euros

Le colis est arrivé en parfait état, je ne m'attendais pas qu'il soit encore sous blister ! Après avoir feuilleté, les photos des œuvres de Giger ont l'air incroyables. Parfait objet de collection
