DESCRIPTION Title: The Case of Beasts: Explore the Film Wizardry of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find ThemAuthor: Mark SalisburyDesign: MinaLimaPublisher: Harper DesignPublication Year: 2016Format: Hardcover with decorative case-style coverEdition / Printing: 2016 edition; specific printing not confirmedISBN: To be confirmed from copyright page A richly designed companion volume to Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, The Case of Beasts explores the film’s world-building, characters, creatures, props, locations, and visual design. Designed by MinaLima, the book has a highly collectible presentation with interactive-style inserts, detailed artwork, behind-the-scenes material, and a decorative “case file” style cover that makes it especially appealing for Wizarding World collectors. The visual presentation is the real charm here: faux clasps, layered case graphics, archival-style pages, ephemera-inspired design, creature notes, wanted poster styling, and production imagery throughout. It is both a fan reference and a decorative coffee-table-style book, with strong gift appeal for collectors of Harry Potter, Fantastic Beasts, MinaLima design work, and film art books. WORTH NOTING Written by Mark Salisbury Designed by MinaLima Companion book for Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them Published in 2016 Decorative hardcover designed to resemble Newt Scamander’s case Includes film artwork, creature material, character features, and behind-the-scenes production content Features interactive-style inserts and ephemera-inspired design elements Strong appeal for Wizarding World, Harry Potter, Fantastic Beasts, MinaLima, and film-art collectors A visually rich decorative book suitable for display, gifting, or collector shelving Edition/printing and ISBN should be confirmed from the copyright page before final listing CONDITION Pre-owned condition with normal signs of prior handling and shelf wear. The decorative cover presents well overall, with visible case-style artwork and interior pages shown in the photos. Photos show the book includes interior illustrated pages and inserted/interactive-style material. Final inspection should confirm completeness of all inserts, flaps, fold-outs, removable pieces, page condition, spine integrity, cover edge wear, corner wear, surface scuffing, and whether any writing, tears, missing pieces, or odors are present. Because this title relies heavily on inserts and interactive design features, buyers should assume only the contents shown and described are included unless completeness has been fully verified. FROM THE HOUSE A beautifully theatrical piece of Wizarding World publishing, selected for its MinaLima design work, decorative case-style cover, and strong collector presentation. This is the sort of book that belongs open on a library table, tucked among curiosities, or wrapped as a very proper gift for the person who still believes a good book should have a little magic in its bones. ~ Maxwell
