Note: The Prop Den review is based on one person's opinion which can vary. The review is independent as a fan and avid collector.
ReviewI have each of these books as they came to publication and they each have a different cover to accompany them. I also have this ensemble of the dictionaries combined but for now I’ll cover these as one book to save many separate reviews.
The visual dictionary is a popular option as it continues to cater as a basic guide to characters with little depth given to the write up. It’s just a standard marketing book that is good to keep within a collection.
VerdictNo thrills attached visual dictionaries combined into one complete set. I prefer the separate entries but as an overall it’s worth having it all in one place instead of several different books.
Rating 3.5 out of 5 - Recommended (Just)
