I've always considered the artwork the weakest part of the Lone Wolf series, and that the series succeeded in spite of the poor art quality. So I was surprised to find this exists. But I guess tastes differ. Safe to say, I won't add this to my collection.

Arguably standing as the single worst gamebook tie-in material to have ever come into existence, "The Art of Lone Wolf" is a book which truly never should've been made. The "art", which has been universally considered the biggest turn-away of Joe Dever's original "Lone Wolf" books, is presumably already (unwillingly) already owned by virtually all of its intended audience, and the book - despite claiming to have remastered said sketchings - is anything but well-presented. There are countless formatting and presentation errors, bad design choices and a complete disregard for artistically presenting these pre-existing drawings. One might think it to be highly foolish and amateur to so carelessly put together what is supposed to be an art book, and it is - but the result is so depressing that it leaves readers more disgusted with the pompous arrogance of the author/producer than anything. Without a doubt, no one should consider investing a single cent on this waste of good paper; this is, again, one of the most unnecessary rip-offs ever produced for any series and an absolutely unnecessary cash-in on the series to which it was a hindrance. Avoid at all costs.
