A readers review taken from amazon.com:

This compilation of work features quite a few of the outstanding work produced during 1997 for various sci-fi and fantasy work. The work is broken down into several categories, such 'editorial', 'comics', 'dimensional', and 'unpublished'.

A panel of distinguished artists select a gold medal and silver medal winner for each category, though as a whole, much of the submitted work is top rate.

Though one might wish that there were more information about the artists themselves, the artwork is enough to keep you looking several times over to see the work you missed - and there is plenty of stuff to miss with each pass.

The book's packaging and presentation is impeccable, using high-grade glossy paper, well hued inking, and a solid binding.

This could be a coffee table
book if you wished it - that is,
if you're not busy looking
through it yourself.
