An excellent choice for a newer Giger fan or somebody who can`t justify purchasing the more expensive "coffee table" volumes. This little book is full of high-quality pictures,sketch reproductions,vintage photos and more.The timeline in the back is a great touch too.These smaller books are priced very reasonably,which means you can enjoy showing Giger`s INCREDIBLE work to friends,family and co-workers with less worry than the more expensive books. Even though I have only read limited portions of the book--it is worth it! I recommend buying this little gem for your own library or as a gift. Thanks for reading!

H.R. Hiher is definately one of the greatest artists of our time. His images transcend time and space and provoke so many thoughts using beautifully crafted mechanical landscapes and disturbing robot-like human specimens.

This is the prime book for the fans who are into Giger's work, but don't have the cash to invest in his larger[]books, or don't yet know if they want to. It covers his earliest work in underground newspapers to his involvment with "Alien" and beyond. It lists all the exhibitions up until 2001, all the material he ever published, plenty of his best known artworks plus some that are lesser known. From his life in Chur to his marriage to Mia and his thoughts of airbrushing, this book has everything a Giger fan could ask for.
