If I were a collector, I'd find this book useful and also a nice coffee table book

I don't collect magic cards, but I can tell that this book was written with love. The table of contents is laid out nicely and is easy to navigate. The photos are of excellent quality, and further the author's goal of providing the ultimate collector with the ultimate collector's tool. The descriptions of each card, complete with author markups, are helpful. I wouldn't want this book, but I would absolutely buy it for a friend.
