    Bought this on a birthday whim from the record store, and years later it's still absolutely my favorite special edition album, and favorite album of all time. It's absolutely marvelous.

      this book is art. i do have the "The raven" book too, but this one is even more full of art. open it. it is not just all the content you will read on this certain page. it is not just this book you will hold in your hands. a ten inch book like before. 100 sides. it is not just all the special music you can hear and watch
      just here. . nope. it is more. full of small surprises which you make you very very happy. you open the book of art: you will be going through. and like a personal diary there will be one - 2-3-4-5-6-7- more surprises (booklets and what so ever........be surprised!!!!!!!)
      inside the book waiting for you. this is art. and i has to be smiling by seeing all these sellers - never opened this small masterpiece-they described it as SEALED! STILL SEALED!.........what the fuck! open it. see all these adventures. hearing the masterpiece from steven wilson so far. feel it. have it in your hands. that is all i can say.
