I was surprised by the comments on AM's style, because I think the book looks great, definitely the most attractive and professional looking of all 5 editions.

It's got full-page bleeds out to all the edges, makes attractive use of a second color, and has good layout and generally good artwork (though I don't like some of the more cartoony stuff too, but I think that was a deliberate choice because they could shade it more easily with their second color).

Maybe expectations have just gone through the roof in the last several years ...
