I love how even though you did not get the "picke Rick" reference, you still found joy in the art. That just illustrates how many neat easter eggs this book probably holds, no matter who you are. Thanks for showing it!

[@kyle_mk17]

Oh! Pickle rick!

[@oohbootiga7649]

I saw an ad for this book, and now im doing some quick research on it. It looks like a book I'd enjoy, but the lack in descriptions has me thinking maybe its not the book im looking for exactly. I'm looking for one like this with a thousand pages and step by step descriptions. That's the book I'd pay for at that price. Also, i do love art, but I agree that it's a missed opportunity. It just looks like its lacking information.

[@BeautifulBooks]

It’s certainly more for fun than actually having step-by-step instructions, but it does have a *lot* of information!

[@cthulhufhtagn7520]

I've been looking for something like this for a while and it seems like there's only either specialized books that over focus on one topic or that are too broad to be of use. I don't think anything like what we want exists for public consumption yet

[@sonnicjr]

maybe later they will make a proper one as you imagine, i share the same idea as you. 😊

[@lorimiller854]

Oh, dear...you've added to my wish list. What a lovely and interesting book. Thank you for the thorough tour.

[@huskot6014]

I’ve just purchased The Book on a whim, then noticed you already had this video! Lovely review, as always! It’s truly a beautiful book.

[@jessekandres9047]

The fact that you can buy this book for only 150 bucks is insanity. It's going to be part of the decor of my new place. It'll sit on a book stand where you keep the book open. It'll sit in my office like a rare magical Tome from Skyrim. You know like the ones that give you skills and stuff

[@hollieweller7051]

It's 120 on Amazon

[@TheDeathCap]

I can't believe Pickle Rick made it into this beautiful book 😂

[@asdisskagen6487]

I love your channel! It fills such a needed niche, giving me an idea of what beautiful books I should buy my grandchildren to encourage a love for books.

[@WaterBearReads]

Oh what an awesome surprise!!! This book sounds fascinating! I think was an excellent and thorough review! Thank you! I had no idea of this book at all - it looks amazing! (Thank you so much for mentioning the part that may not be so much for kids!) Have a wonderful day!🥰

[@BeautifulBooks]

Hi, and thanks for dropping by! (I was a bit surprised by the inclusion of that section - otherwise it would be just perfect for a curious kid!)

[@skyw87]

I was surprised to hear you mention the Maltese well monster 😮😂 nice one ❤

[@omorto83]

Thanks for the review, it's now on the wish list!

[@russellperry9902]

What I liked most about your ad is your willingness to go through it page by page if anyone is daring enough to screen shot for their use. And lord knows that might help someone. Especially as someone who watches suspicious observers and understands the mathmatical cerntainty of our coming flip... the world could use more books like yours. ALso as far as you take it, and the beauty in. Your book is magnificent.

[@KakashiHatake-ou7mp]

Hello! Hope you're doing well! We're closing in on the half year mark. looking forward to your new finds for 2024!

[@DaveDuncanMusic]

Received my copy today. I'm excited to check it out!!!

[@Ivan-om8rk]

Found this one some months ago and I thought it looked incredibly cool (it's up upcoming successor too) but that price puts it sadly outside my reach. Thanks for the surprise video!

[@BeautifulBooks]

Totally agree, the price is unfortunately a big blocker for a casual purchase.

[@GalaxyArtStream-qd1qc]

This looks amazing!

[@acer_triplex]

I need this book

[@giovanniviglietta731]

5:35 It's not the Men in Black. It's from Pulp Fiction.

[@sonnicjr]

im saving money to buy it ASP ! ❤

[@skooter6235]

I could be wrong but the pickle might be a nod at Rick and Morty’s Pickle Rick.

[@BeautifulBooks]

Oooh, I think you’re right!!

[@skyw87]

Yep 😂 nice joke, who knows whether it'll be remembered in 10..20..30 years when the book will be still around hopefully 😊

[@NorthWoodsAmbient]

Wow!

[@ellydavis2066]

This looks lovely and I'm considering it for my Dad's Xmas but is the text factual or more fantasy with humour? I saw the baby incubator at 3:19 but I couldn't read the text so wasn't sure if it was a genuine version of it or a steampunk interpretation.

[@DanWi90]

Imagine a archeologist finding this book in a few thousand years. They are gonna be mighty confused

[@joshadams2719]

Does the book have anything about mathematics?

[@EstoNoEsUnSpoiler]

Beautiful! Did you get it in Australia? I’m going on holiday next week and it would be nice if I found it at Dymocks

[@BeautifulBooks]

No, it had to be shipped here unfortunately- I haven’t seen it in any of our local physical stores. (Also it’s reaaally heavy - not something you want taking up half your luggage on holiday…)

[@shellyfournier]

What is the meaning behind the recurring symbol? Starting on page 25 it's one of the soap molds it's beneath the paw and penguin molds it repeats itself almost in every chapter. I would love to know

[@shellyfournier]

It's again on page 89. it's on one of the pots under water just on the left bottle corner. And again on page 104 on the bottle on the bottom left corner again. Then again on page 115 in a glass bubble. Then page 121 on top of the spinning wheel. Again on page 125 on The Brimstone .pg 131 on the grave cross. And it keeps going on and on what dose the symbol mean?

[@BeautifulBooks]

To me, it looks like a bit like a stylised scarab beetle. Apparently there is a hidden “quest” in the book (there was a prize that Kickstarter backers hunted for - the treasure was found already), so it’s also possible the recurring symbol relates to that?

[@randomcinemaniac4303]

Seems like the perfect book for a kid to grow up with! Except for this one chapter perhaps 😅

[@BeautifulBooks]

Haha, yes, honestly it would be perfect for kids otherwise!

[@Qu0thTheRaven]

It's like one of those fun kids books like wizardology and egyptology but for adults

[@nellen55]

i don't see "the men in black" but i did see Vincent and Jules from pulp fiction. they even have a ball gag before that a reference to the movie, and the dancing seen before that

[@BeautifulBooks]

oh cool! thanks for sharing!

[@lordbritannic]

you had me at busty mermaid.

[@ronaldmay1283]

That creature in the well is a “coelacanth”

[@stevdor6146]

thats what the pokemon Relicanth is based on

[@sheevinopalpatino4782]

Dull references, but looks pretty good.

[@JeremiahMyers-o9b]

Thank you for the video. Does anyone still have discount codes? I appreciate any response. My wife has been wanting this for awhile. Take care.

[@hollieweller7051]

It's 120 on Amazon

[@Danhashiel]

Any similar art occult esoteric books?

[@BeautifulBooks]

Funny you should ask - I'm actually working on a list right now. (Quite a few videos ahead in the queue though, so it'll be a few months before I can release it, but it's on the way...)

[@Danhashiel]

😢

[@utoka666]

It's pickle Riiiick!

[@ycrep1993]

I turned myself into a pickle morty!

[@Anamnesis010]

So it is not a how to, but more of a look at all the skills humanity has acquired? Or does it teach the skills presented?

[@comradestannis]

So these are art-books, right? You review art-books? I'm not sure what to call these types of books, but I want 'em!

[@BeautifulBooks]

I review "beautiful" books - so it's a pretty subjective category! For me this means books where the designers have gone the extra mile - this might mean wonderful illustrations, special bindings, clever paper engineering, etc. The book in this review isn't easy to categorise as a specific genre - I definitely love the killer artwork and I think that's a huge drawcard, but it's also a non-fiction science/tech/history book because a lot of work has gone into curating the innovations and providing interesting information about them. But yeah - doesn't matter what you call these types of books, I want 'em all too!!

[@comradestannis]

@@BeautifulBooks Noted!

[@chandraathithan11]

Super

[@violetblythe6912]

Thank you for the detailed review! Love the idea but given the sexual and pagan elements probably not a good gift idea for the person I had in mind 😂 thank you for helping!

[@earendurvoneinzbern7585]

The real question is, does it show you how to make toilet paper?

[@jessquinn6106]

Subnotes on the bottom of each page of the book "Do NOT recreate humanity."

[@ChristmasJourney]

There won’t be a mid-year video? 😢

[@BeautifulBooks]

I could do something later this month, if there's enough interest?

[@ChristmasJourney]

@@BeautifulBooks there is absolutely a lot of interest!!!! 😍

[@inoiz8395]

its pickle rick!!

[@BeautifulBooks]

Haha, *now* I know that 😅

[@rogerancell1208]

The creature is leviathan

[@BeautifulBooks]

Thank you!

[@stevdor6146]

too small to be leviathan, check out the coelacanth

[@wbbartlett]

Was this book really $100+ when it first came out or that just the result of subsequent price-gougers exercising their greed? Whatever the reason, it is currently vastly overpriced.

[@BeautifulBooks]

The book was first released through Kickstarter for $89 plus s&h. It’s now $185 from the publisher direct. It’s really well made but yeah, that’s a lot! It’s basically selling in fine press territory.

[@RoswellCrash]

Just ordered, Men in Black is Pulp Fiction!

[@BeautifulBooks]

Ah, thanks!!

[@UNDERDAWGOD]

Omg I need it in polish version 🥴🥹

[@ronaldmay1283]
