Physical Details: vii, 151 pages : illustrations (chiefly colour) ; 28 cm

I read this book when I was looking for resource material about world-building. While Fantasy World-Building is a very interesting book that would be a fascinating resource for anyone who is into gaming design, and it would be a great for illustrators and graphic artists, however most of it wasn't able assist me with my research to any great extent.

The author discusses finding ideas, and how to borrow these ideas and concepts from history. He goes into detail with regard to habitat, climate, terrain, wildlife, and much more. I was however quite interested with regard to his insights on societies, and such.

I would recommend this book to anybody who is into illustration, gaming, or who would like to get into this field.

 Greetings, I have decided to put a hold on doing further book reviews for a while. In fact I'm not sure if I will resume doing reviews ...
