So how does this new volume compare to the last?Well, very little has actually changed.The only immediately recognisable alteration is that it has a better presentation on the medal winners, which is a nice touch as artists often struggle to gain much of a recognisably personal association with their creations and thus remain the "invisible" presences behind much of their work. And given just how few actual awards there are here and for the few extra pages it involves, its hardly a world altering addition.The standard layout and page presentation of the catagories is pretty much unchanged,as is the sheer volume of work on display.Its still an impressively weighty book, infact as you line all the previous editions by their yearly release date they gradually seem to have acquired an very notable thickening of the waist as their pages have obviously been swollen by the glut of talented submitions! The variety and standard of work on display remains incredibly high and as imaginative as ever. It does seem to have a slightly higher proportion of less vibrant studies than some past volumes and an ever increased bias towards more surreal work,rather than harder and more traditional sci fi and fantasy illustration but this does seem to go in phases when you look at the others in the series.I guess it all depends on the judges. There seems to be an absence of work by some regular contributers but this is actually cause for a bit of a celibration!!! Some of the artists that frequently featured their work in earlier competitions have gone on to do incredible work in the film , gaming and other media industries. It was particularly gratifying to see how much influence they had visually in many of the current blockbusters such as "Guardians of the Galaxy" . For that reason alone Spectrum deserves the wide respect in gets and should continue to do so long into the future. It is a showcase and there are few that come close to delivering annually the spectacle of talent that it does. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cracking as always *by G***M on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 January 2016* These series of books are, for me, an annual must buy, the art work contained in them is always an inspiration, giving me new ideas of my own and sending me down new avenues of creativity (and getting me out of the creativity doldrums that I periodically find myself in). While the books themselves revolve on the science fiction and fantasy genres this doesn't always mean laser guns and sword wielding barbarians. The work varies wildly to the extremes of the genres and includes horror or simply worlds that only exist in the imagination of the creator. I'd always recommend these books, I've bought a fair number of these books over the years and haven't been disappointed with one yet. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ it has managed to remain not only the best, but also the most diverse and interesting *by A***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 May 2015* The Spectrum Series has managed to stay fresh since I started collecting them at No. 2 and even with the new competition of such books as Fantasy+ and Expose', it has managed to remain not only the best, but also the most diverse and interesting. I am especially pleases that in 21 there seems to be a return to good representation of traditional media like oil and acrylic rather than just digital.
