A book that does justice to Del Toro
Everything about this book is well done!The cover is a great rendition of the iconic pale man from pan's labyrinth. I love the artistic style. Everything from the colors to the matte colors is great.The images in the book are crisp, large, and are a great accompaniment to the written information in the book. Every image added to the story that was being told. I liked how big the images were because it allowed me to see it in greater detail. Even just flipping through the book was fun!As for the information in the book, it was very detailed! If you don't know much about Del Toro you get to learn about his life as well as all of his work. I myself know very little of Del Toro and only a few of his masterpieces... But the little I do know, I love. So, this book is great. While I'm not yet finished with it, I've already learned so much about him. Since I don't know much about him, I can't say how accurate the information is, but the information provided and quotes used are from credible sources.Aside from reading it, this is definitely a book that I want to display because it's simply stunning.

Stunning Photos, Great Commentary on Some of Guillermo del Toro's Most Famous Films
Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2021
Guillermo del Toro: The Iconic Filmmaker and his Work Book is a great book to get for any del Toro fan. This unofficial and unauthorized collection of information and photographs from some of del Toro's most famous films is very well put together with stunning photos and plenty of information about the films, the thought process behind the films, and about the director himself. The only question I have is whether or not the information included is 100% accurate. Because this is an unofficial and unauthorized account, there may be a chance of misinformation, but it's a chance you take with all books of this kind. That issue aside, the photographs in the book are absolutely stunning and the presentation of the book in the slide-out cardboard sheath is a beautiful touch for this visually appealing book. This is a great book to put on your coffee table to peruse through from time to time, or to gift to a Guillermo del Toro Fan.
