Book Review: Above the Timberline by Gregory Manchess

Above the Timberline by Gregory Manchess - 01


Gregory Manchess must be one hell of an artist to put out a book like this, a large wide format that's fully painted on every page. It's amazing. I saw no other name on the cover so he must be the one writing the story as well.

The story is about a son looking for a lost city that his dad has discovered. And this city is hidden in The Waste, a vast landscape of snow and treacherous mountains. There are also other people looking for that city, and they aren't friendly.

The story and the artworks work well together. Gregory Manchess is a masterful painter. To paint all the paintings in this book is no small feat. In fact, it's astounding when you consider how beautiful they are. They may look a bit rough but the composition, lighting and mood are all spot on. I cannot even begin to imagine the amount of work and time he spent on these paintings. Incredible, and awe-inspiring.

This is a fantastic book, a visual treat.
