Yes people, seriously. It so needs you to watch it. WAY exceeded my expectations.

It really depends, @I-J-Anderson. Some books are good with illustrations. A lot of old classics have illustrations— things like Gene Stratton-Porter, and Ballantyne, and the like.

@Daeus of course. No one doubts that. XD

@Daeus Oh gracious, that was dumb. *headdesk*

@I-J-Anderson There!
