Art work? oh the pictures, I really don't ponder those too much. With  
the advent of the Highly illuminated RPG books, I quit looking at the  
illustrations unless they either demonstrate a function of a rule or  
get in the way of actually reading the words.

Or to put it another way I a big fan of minimally illustrated digest  
sized books. Smaller, easier to carry, not as apt to be dropped in  
the water when I am reading in the tub. But I am the odd duck, Love  
to read, but I'm not a bibliophil.
