I hope it's okay to link here but I purchased this book at pre-order and received yesterday and just wanted to point out a few things for anyone who is interested:
- The book is beautiful, the hard cover and the pages themselves look like "scrolls" with the stained color. The artwork is beautiful as well.
- It was not hard to read, and was written in simple English. This also made it an easy read for me to read aloud to my 7 year old who happens to be fascinated with the game (She watches me, doesn't play). She thought the narratives about Werewolves and Trolls were "Awesome."
- The price might seem steep at $35 to some, but I thought it was well worth it for all the information and artwork I got. It will be a great asset to my lore collection.
- I am not a "lore" guy, and never have been. I played MMOs since EverQuest and had the "don't know, don't care" mindset when it came to the lore in those games. For some reason, I find the lore behind Elder Scrolls to be interesting and maybe it had to do with the simplicity of how the book is written. I played Morrowind and Oblivion very lightly in the past so I was not very familiar with any lore when I ordered this book.
I hope this review helps anyone who was on the fence about the book.
