Slipcase & Deluxe Collector's Editions

Stunning. No other words needed. Highly, highly recommend!

Books arrived in lovely condition. Very happy with my purchase!

Absolutely beautiful and mesmerizing!!

Incredible as always.

So grateful they wrapped the books in bubble wrap tightly because the package arrived absolitely soaked from the rain - but the books were miraculously totally dry.

So grateful and thank you!

beautiful books! ordered from the misfits sale and they came with very small cosmetic blemishes, definitely a worthwhile buy!

Amazing production quality. Gorgeous artwork!

Century Guild has outdone itself with its latest completed project, Animalia and Fantasia. This is a magnificent book in just about every way, and I am genuinely blown away by the quality. It perfectly exemplifies everything I love about Century Guild as an organization - the celebration of Art Nouveau artists and their works within beautifully designed and extremely high-quality art books. Even the front cover is a gem! But really, the whole book (and especially the incredible reproductions) is a shining example of what art books should be. There is a real love and passion for beauty imbued into the book - especially for the star artist Anton Seder - something I wish was more common in the art books of today.

Speaking of the artist, before I saw this book for the first time on Century Guild's website, I had never heard of Anton Seder, or encountered his name anywhere. Shocking, really, as I consider myself a lover of Art Nouveau, and yet one of its greatest artists from Germany was entirely unknown to me (for that matter, I wasn't really aware that Strasbourg - at the time part of Germany - was a center for Art Nouveau and the arts and crafts movement). Seder's art is really stunning, his attention to detail and genius vision for artistic design with animals is really inspiring, and reading about his pedagogical work and ambitions is fascinating and thought-provoking. I really wish I knew about Anton Seder years ago!

In short, I cannot recommend Animalia and Fantasia enough. For those who collect art books, particularly for art from the late 19th century, this is a must-have​. Thank you everyone at Century Guild for making this amazing book!

I loved every page. The illustration are very easy to see and the references to earlier centuries artwork add to my art history knowledge..Now on to Vol 4!

Great print!

Beautiful collection of a more gothic side of art nouveau! Also a great reference.

I particularly enjoy collecting beautiful and artistic books, so when I found this one I just had to have it. I swear, it puts every other volume I own to shame! It’s beyond stunning, and the amount of detail that went into making it so is extraordinary. I cannot rate this book and this shop highly enough! Came excellently packaged and in pristine condition. Century Guild, I will be back for more!!!

Positively enchanting! Super happy to be able to add this gorgeous book to my collection. Came nicely packaged and in pristine condition. Highly highly recommend!

High quality print! The colors are absolutely lovely! Looking for a frame that would do it justice.

A perfect fit! This shirt is super comfortable and looks exactly as pictured. Absolutely had to have this one since The Cask of Amontillado is my favorite Edgar Allan Poe story. Highly highly recommend!
