Summary: Wonderfully Diabolical Artsy Book...also a great gift
Comment: A book about that archtype from the Judeao-Christian theology, "the devil". Whatever your religious views, Satan has no doubt been an intriguing character in much art and literature, and this book is a creative work all about him. The book itself is rather high-quality, with a velvet-like covering. Throughout are tons of random pictures of Ol' Scratch, some very old, some very recent, and from many different countries. Most are paintings, but there are also lithographs, photographs, etc.

The text placed here and there in the book includes poetry, quotes from famous works like Dante's "Inferno" and Mark Twain's "The Mysterious Stranger", as well as original lines as if written by the devil in the first person. These excerpts and art work that make up the entire book are again randomly placed, but the intent was obviously to make an interesting book in an artistic, poetic, and fantasy sort of way. And in my opinion, they more than succeeded. Makes a great gift.
