[QUOTE="righteousfist, post: 1126972, member: 3912"] I wanted to take a moment to address your comments. Thanks for the positive ones. :) As to the negatives... It may LOOK like we are wasting space in the layout, but let me assure you that the text density is exactly the same as most standard books that Green Ronin has published. As to the piece of art, this is a piece done in "period" style by a VERY talented artist named Richard Becker. It's the only piece in the book he has done in this "etching" style. I'm sorry you don't find it attractive (that's a matter of taste, as I happen to like it). However I might suggest that part of your problem with it might be because the preview is only at 150 DPI, not full print resolution. The screen version of the art is, in fact, not very flattering to Richard's skills. We'll be doing a more extensive art preview over at greenronin.com next week. I think if nothing else, when you pick the book up and get a chance to look at more than just that one page, you'll be more than satisfied with the way the book looks.
