"Wow!" is indeed the word. Simply one of the most beautiful books I have ever seen, period. The design of the book itself is flawless, and the contents are to die for.
I also have a special shelf for oversized publications such as this one, and this is where the book is going.
IDW say that they intend to publish other books from other creators in the same format. If this happens and the results are only half as good as with the Rocketeer, I take the plunge immediately. It's that good.
