A perfect book, about a perfect team, who had a perfect season.

It would've been better with pictures, just saying.

It is literally “The Ultimate Sneaker Book.” I would run back into my home to save this from a fire if I had to.

Jay and Dan are my two favourite sports media personalities on this planet, so it's a little surprising I hadn't read this sooner. While a little dated (the book ends with them leaving for FS1; they're back with TSN now), it was genuinely funny and overall entertaining to read. It would have been better with more stories about Dan.

A useful reference book for various logos, sorted by logo type. The book itself is small, and (mostly) black & white. Much like the others in this series, I would have preferred a larger, full-colour book.

Presented with little-to-no context, this book features some really incredible panels from the entire Sin City collection. I would have liked to have had more to read than just look at in this book.

This was my review for Holiday's other book ‘Ego is the Enemy':

“At times this book feels largely like a collection of biography book reports and inspirational quotes, but I think the overall lessons contained are vital. Very easy to read, if a bit shallow.”

That about sums this one up as well, frankly.

The best parts of this book are the understated philosophical metaphors, intentionally or not, sprinkled among its chapters. The Roots stuff was filler. I wish it had more about Dilla.

Maybe I expected too much, hoping for more than a book long Pitchfork review written by a human thesaurus. When the author explicitly stated he made no effort to contact anyone involved in the making of this album, I should have known what I was getting into.

It feels like Hickman is building towards something cool, but I thought the first volume was more interesting. Still really excited to see where this run goes!

It's really just a bunch of graphs and charts, but really beautifully designed graphs and charts about comics. Added points for being interesting. I will certainly keep this close-by for data visualization inspiration.

Again, much like Do The Work, this book just feels like the leftover material cut from The War of Art. You can skip this one too.

This was my first Tynion book and he's instantly become a must-read author in my book. I really liked that they made an ARG website as well! I just wish it had more content.

I mean, it's kinda in the title.

I'll be honest; I only read this one to get those reading challenge numbers up. I've been listening to a lot of Binge Mode: Harry Potter lately, and this was a good dip back into the wider wizarding world. I feel this book should have focused more on tactics.

As a coffee table book, it was definitely worth the $5 I spent on it a few years ago. I wish it focused more on album covers from the 1940s-1970s.
