And Even More Books

We have historically important books, literary books, funny books, reference books.  We have books to add authenticity to your steampunk study or color to your modern den.  
And, we have beautifully illustrated books.

There will be some who will buy books with the intention of taking them apart for the prints.
Unless the book is already falling apart, it's better if I don't know.

 Unfortunately, I can't tell you if we have your favorite illustrator, because I don't know.  I can tell you, we have many beautiful illustrations, and this is just a small random sample.

The Scribners and other bound magazines are full of them.









This is from a great article about armor, with many illustrations:
