BEST Adventure Time Book yet!
I had preordered this book quite a while ago, and to my unequivocal happiness, the Adventure Time Encyclopaedia turned out to be utterly awesome! If you are new to the Adventure Time universe, or if you are a day-one fan, or if you just want some information on a show that enlightens your conversations with your kids, this is the book to do it.You will notice two things the instant you get this book in your hands. 1) The format is a bit smaller than most other "encyclopedias", and 2) The quality is immediately evident the minute you open the cover.Some readers have complained about the size of this book, but I have to say, the 'digest' size of The Adventure Time Encyclopaedia is absolutely perfect for a number of reasons. It is easier to carry along with you wherever you go, it fits into most bags, backpacks, briefcases, etc.. rather easily, and it doesn't take up wasted space on your bookshelf. I have noticed a large number of publishers migrating to this particular size and I am glad that they are.The quality of this book is amazing in that it keeps with the unique art style and character designs of the show, but casts a whole new light on the land of OOO. Everything that we know and love is new again. EVERY piece of art in this book is a masterpiece, even more so if you are an Adventure Time fan, and it really brings the text to life while putting a big grin on the readers face. The layout of the book is perfect. The Adventure Time Encyclopaedia is made out to be "authored" by Marceline's father, Hunson Abadeer, and so right off the bat we are treated to specific warnings telling us not to continue to read for fear of terrible things happening to the 'unworthy readers' and one of the most unique, and reassuring, forwards in any book I've read. The letter-fonts used throughout the book could not be more appropriate, including those used by Finn, Jake, and Marceline as they scribble notes through the many chapters, and the pages are beautifully printed on a thick, matte stock. As mentioned earlier, the artwork is astounding and the colors are vivid when needed, and dreary in all the right places. Even the front and back cover are a testament to the quality of this product. Offering a hardbound well printed cover, mixing both glossy and flat artwork with a cool, old-school print in the background.Hardcore fans will find something new in this book, and new fans will be delighted to learn all that this book has to offer. From the awesome two-page map of the land of OOO printed on the inside cover, to the quirky biographies of all the main-players in Adventure Time, all the way to the final page containing the lyrics of Marceline's "Daddy, Why Did You Eat my Fries" hit song, this book is amazing and fun to read over and over. Let's not get into all the lore, wizard's spells, and great locations strew about the land of OOO...... instead, just pick this book up yourself. You definitely will not regret it, and this book truly is worth the wait and worth every penny spent on it!

Definitely creative!
When it comes to media-inspired encyclopedias, The Adventure Time Encyclopaedia is the definition of creativity all authors should take as a point of reference for books of this category! The content is utterly dynamic, it's full of pictures exclusively done for this project in particular, and the highlight that is the way the author mimics the thoughts, points of view and quirks of the character he gives his voice to, so convincingly it makes you truly feel like you're actually reading something Hunson Abadeer himself has compiled! I must confess that when I saw this book at first, I imagined him dimensionally bigger, worth the size of an A4 paper, but this did not refrain me from enjoying it, for it bears more than half an inch of pages to compensate for that, and that's quite a lot for books inspired in cartoons!Structurally, the book seems strong enough to keep its pages inside itself for years if taken good care of, and pages thick endure to avoid wrinkles caused by slight, wrongly handled page-turnings. Good hardcover!

A must for Adventure Time fans
I'm not going to lie - I bought this for my daughter for Christmas, just to discover that she already owned it - so I ended up keeping it for myself. A fun little book for one of the most awesome shows ever devised. I remember when this show first started airing - I never paid much attention to it because the colorful characters and candy people made it look like a kids' show. My teenage daughter forced me to sit down and watch the first episode with her. I'm glad she did! This show is awesome and the book is a lot fun. If you're an Adventure Time fan, this is an absolute must-buy. If you haven't given the show a chance yet, you don't know what you're missing. I'm a 37 year old man into guns, knives, cars, and cigars - and I find this show to be amazing. Safe to watch with the family but twisted and weird enough to hold my attention. The characters actually grow on you. Pendleton Ward, you are a genius.

This was a very informative resource. I am new to this show and have dove in head first and enjoying every moment I can get in learning everything there is to know about Adventure Time.Sturdy hardcover book. The book does not have a dust jacket and has full color information on all major characters and many secondary. Enjoyed front to back.

Adventure Time, come on grab your friends!
Who doesn’t like Adventure Time? No one! It’s a brilliant show with wonderfully realised characters, fantastic animation and brilliantly mad storylines.My son developed a slight addiction to watching the cartoon on television so I purchased this as an extra addition to his addiction. Not only is it well made but it’s full of wonderful imagery and art, fantastic writing and really does look absolutely super. He was over the moon with this and spent hours and hours pouring over the information in here with wide eyes.A great book for Adventure Time fans!

DE coleccion por el arte, el lore que es genial leer
Asi es, de esos libros que seas fan o no vale la pena tener, hora de aventura tiene mas simbolismos de los que creemos a simple vista, humor negro o blanco dependiendo el momento, la enciclopedia trae decenas de datos y dibujos sobre los personajes tantos los principales como los secundarios o los que hacen una sola aparicion, el papel es de gran calidad, de pasta dura, formato grande, luce padrisimo en el librero, ya sea la edad que tengan lo apreciaran mucho .llego muy bien empacado y nuevo totalmente, contentisimos con el precio ademas, gracias amazon y vendedor.
