The Illustrated Good Omens

Really nice release!
Rarely buy hardcover books now, tho IMO a well-produced book is a pleasure to have. Delighted that this book itself IMO is affordable quality - tightly bound pages, very smooth ("clay" coated?) velvety feeling cover, beautiful prints that are sharp and clear, attached ribbon bookmark. Perfect size to curl up with - not too big or too small. The UK publishing house knows their stuff!Of course I am keeping my battered original paperback of Good Omens but some books you just need more than one of - and this release has the lovely images scattered throughout, that are nods to the superb Amazon/BBC series. If you can't afford the more upscale collector editions of Good Omens books, IMO as a gift to yourself or any fan of the series this is a great choice. The one nit I have is the cover is so sharp and clear I'd like to keep it pristine, so I need to get a book jacket or clear cover. Still IMO deserves 5 stars or more as a well-done edition. Of course I'd love even more images but suppose I can take screen shots of the series if I must!As for the mad beautiful magical reality chaos of the story itself - well, there's a reason Good Omens is is popular and often laugh-out-loud funny - also in places with hints of darkness and bittersweetness. IMO that was always the magic of Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman, which happily the series also captures. To the World!!!

No footnotes in this printing
Good Omens is in my top three favorite books, I have been through multiple copies over the years. I have read it countless times. I was very excited when I received a copy of the illustrated edition as a gift. However I am very sad to see that all of the wonderful footnotes that add so much to the story were omitted from this printing. The original book gets 5*s, the illustrations get 5*s, this book without footnotes gets 1*.
