First, buy this book if you are a fan of the series -- it is a keeper. You will be sorry later if they go out of print or go up in price.Although the book is beautiful, glossy, with gorgeous drawings, etc. from the series, I was disappointed in the lack listings of some of the Wesen characters in the series. They are crossed off = X'd out in the Wesen Index. Especially since the Bauerschwein were featured in 11/8/13 episode as major characters in a feud with the Blutbaden (Monroe's Wesen character). Even Rosalie's Fuchsbau Wesen character is X'd out in the Wesen Index ("table of contents"). A total of 107 titles are listed including Wesen and, of those, twenty-seven are X'd out and not in the book. I wrote to Titan Books (to their readerfeedback email address given in the back of the book) and let them know. My question was: are only the Wesen listed that the Grimm have killed or who are dangerous? The Baueschwein were definitely dangerous in the recent episode.To fans of the series (of which I am one):In any case, don't delay purchase of this book - especially at this current price - you will love it.
This book is a Christmas present for my daughter who is a huge Grimm fan. She will love it! The book is gorgeous and beautifully detailed. One caveat- the pictures really are like those on the show so young children may be disturbed if they flip through this.
As any true Grimmster knows, Nick Burkhardt would have been lost without access to Aunt Marie's trailer and book of lore when he first discovered he was a Grimm. Now fans of the show can own their own copy of the book and learn even more about the Wesen Nick deals with everyday.Written in mostly German, there are entries recorded in Spanish and Japanese; each entry has been translated into English for the general reader. Full color images of several of the Wesen are included alongside the pen and ink drawings of those Grimm who first observed the ferocious beasts dating as far back as the 1600s.Read more of this review at Examiner.com[...]
I bought 2 of these books as gifts for my nieces (huge GRIMM fans) and sadly BOTH books fell apart. The 1st book did not last but a few minutes after being opened - so we set it aside (delicately) and hoped it was a fluke. But sadly the 2nd book's binding came apart and pages started to fall out just a couple days later (even with careful handling). I STILL am hoping this was just dumb bad luck and that perhaps the manufacture could exchange these "lemons" for 2 other books. My nieces were so excited to read the book (as they are pretty cool that emulates the shows wesen characters) but these 2 I ordered were just built so poorly. Lets hope we can exchange them for some that last long enough to be read.If not for the poor binding, I would have happily given a perfect rating.- still hopeful(Now i just have to figure out how to exchange them)
This was everything I expected it to be, the book that nick uses in the show seems very close to what we got here save for some of the listed creatures aren't actually shown in the book (I suspect a second volume?). However I was very pleased with what I got, I did manage to translate some of the passages thanks to Google Translate and the help of some friends! The artwork was amazing as well, very amazing and detailed. I just couldn't have been happier with this purchase, though before you buy you may wanna google some images of the book to see if it's right for you. That's what I did and it actually prompted me to purchase it finally!
For the record this is a collection of facsimile pages as seen on the television show Grimm as they appeared in Aunt Marie's notebooks right down to what ever foreign language they were written in on the show. Occasionally there are type written translations to the side of certain pages, but once again the translations are word for word verbatim from the show. Nothing new, nothing added.For anyone hoping for a unique Grimm book with additional info from the show they might be disappointed. For those of us who loved the show and loved all sequences that showed pages from Aunt Marie's books this is a beautifully made collectible.
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////I note others commented on poor quality BINDING:Absolutely NOTHING wrong with MY book... but, ithelped make the PRICE very attractive. Buy it NOWbefore it either sells out, or the price i-n-c-r-e-a-s-e-s!//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////This was M=O=R=E than I expected.The covers also serve as bookmarks... or you COULD fold them out to be bigger-looking,like the books you see on-air.Not all of the listed creatures are actually in THIS book... maybe a second one comingup? My wife---being German---enjoys looking through the book as well.I was very pleased with what I received.The artwork/photograpy is amazing.The WET blood-spot on the front cover is GREAT!Don't forget to get the Grimm Key Necklace Collection or, just the PIN!
