It looks beautiful and has considerably more depth and warmth than the American edition’s drab grey tones on thin stock.

I asked Guibert about it — look for the interview in TCJ #296 — and he’s very happy with the American edition, feeling that it works perfectly albeit differently. I don’t agree — it’s by no means a disaster, but I think it diminishes the book. I’m sure it was done for financial reasons and that’s perfectly understandable, but it’s still a pity. What the American edition does have that the French doesn’t is the documentation section in the back, which I really liked.

Oh, and the forthcoming :01 edition of Guibert’s other masterwork, The Photographer, is in full color and is going to look spectacular.
