Title: good, coffee-table book... not in-depth
Review: This is a good book for tintin lovers, but mainly in the colorful photos and illustrations, fill-out-your-knowledge kind of way. -- If you're looking for good, well-researched, solid history of herge, then this book is somewhat lacking. has one or two chapters of herge's life, but with large gaps and not always excellently written (or translated perhaps.) -- frustrating at times when there is an amazing illustration of some notebook page that herge drew showing early tintin characters, but with no caption describing (most of the admittedly excellent illustrations have captions, but some are missing.) -- if you want a beautiful, full-color book to give you more (but not exhaustive) info about herge and tintin, this is an excellent book for you.
